metry and varieties o. the forest leav 5,
10 learn Natures wealth OF resources as
to graceful form, with narrow boundaries
An eye that is sensitive to the grae of
curves, and parabolas, and oval swells.
viii marvel at the feast which DAYS
walk In the woods will supply from The
trees, the grasses, and the weeds, in the
varying outlines, and no;chings, and VEIN
lngs, and edgings OF leaves. They stand
for the art OF sculpture in botany, repre-
senting more OF the intellectual delight of
nature IN form, as the flowers express
rather the companion art OF painting
Leaves are the Greek. flowers the Italian
phase of the plastic genius that wo Ks
through the dora of the world.
| do not know any kind OF mus u;n thai
would attrac1 me more than an exhaustive
collection of leaves. Would it not be
privilege that would unseal, in some mea-
sure, the duliest eye, to look, in one day,
over the whole scale of natures foliage
art, from The feathery spray of the moss
to the tough texture of the Amazon lily's
stem, that will float burden of a hundred
weight from the bristlcs of the pine tree
to the Ceylon palm-leaf that will shield
family with lis shaded Would it not as
tonish lis into something like revcrent ad-
mIration, if we could see how the general
geometry of verdure is broken Into ten
thousand patterns; if we could sweep the
gradations of natures green, as il IS dis
titled from arctic att temperate and tro-
pic light, and varied by some shade Oh
every leaf that grows; if we could scan
all the textures of the drapcrv woven out
OF salts and water in botanic looms, from
he softest silk of the corn TO the broad
tissue of the hanna stalk if we could
see displayed in wide masses all the hues
in which autumn dyes the leaves of our
own forests, as though every square mile
had been stepped III the AERIAL luices of a
gorgeous sunsetl To say nothing of the
natural theology that is exhaled from
these lungs Of the vegetable world, would
not the forms into which the foliage of
the plant is broken, and the marvellous
Subulty OF the tintings it reveals, make
museum OF leaves as engaging a school
for the education of the intellect, as a coli
lection of all yertebre, or a representative
conservatory of the globe = Boston
