The Garden God: A Tale of Two Boys (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Garden God: A Tale of Two Boys
This last, certainly; for I have a sneaking fond ness for the very cobwebs that gather in the corners of a library. Last night I spent two or three delicious hours in looking over my own volumes, taking down one after another from the shelf, and slowly turning their leaves. Many of them, most of them in fact for my tastes have not greatly changed - I had loved in my boyhood, and these were, I confess, the ones I lingered over longest. And, in a sense, turning their pages again in the light of this darker-risen day was like holding up a lamp to the past; and the soft, gentle dust of the dead years fell all about me, floated in the air I breathed, delicate, sweet, and sad.
