Sinossi
Excerpt from The Spirits of the Trees
French Revolution; and its most beautiful sentence takes a tree for its central figure: The oak grows silently in the forest, a thousand years; only in the thousandth year, when the woodman arrives with his axe, is there heard an echoing through the solitudes; and the oak an n o u n c e s itself when, with far sounding crash, it falls.
E charm of this sentence lies in the fact that it tells so much more than it says - that is, to the mind that thinks, to the imag imation that has wings. Its sudden melody blares out from the printed page like the music of an unseen band; it thrills and quivers through all the nerves of memory and, in the twinkling of an eye, serenades the deep hushes of every forest we have known; dashes our thoughts against the melancholy shores of silence, and makes us wonder at the wonder of an inani mate life that can endure a thou sand speechless years.
