1--WE have his recorded convictions
on those questions which knock for
answer at the door of every human
heart, on life, on death, on wealth
and poverty-oa the prizes of life
and the ways whereby we come at
them; on the characters of men and
the influences, occult and open,
which affect their fortunes.
1t in thepoet's relations to and his
capacity for sympathizing with hu-
mainly in all it's phases that we
are accu stoned to think of him,
rather than as an interpreter of ma
ture. However, careful study of
his works, both poetic and dramatic,
reveals to us that bis great sympa-
thetic mind did not conffne itself
solely to the observance of human
kind, but that his soul communed
with the spirit Of the outdoor world
and his great heart seems to have
entered with wonderful in tuition
into the heart of nature, and wor-
shipped at her shrine.
Truly Shakespeare is the only
biographer of Shakespeare and even
he can tell US nothing except to the
Shakespeare in us, so, if we would
know If Shakespeare, the poet loved
understood and appreciated the
glories and beauties of nature we
must turn, not to Aubrey or Rowe
or any one of the many dry, and
comparatively uninteresting, biog-
raphers who have written of his life,
but turn to what the poet himself
tells us in his sonnets, 1.-The Win
ter's Tale, LAS You Like it ''''The
Tempest" mid Summer Nights
Dream" and even in that gloomy
tragedy, Hamlet" We need only
his own pen to teach us his ingram
ed love of the fields, flowers, woods
and streams. We know that the
most impressionable period of his
/ life, namely his childhood and youth
were spent in the midst of England
( fairest and most romantic rural
scenes. Here as hc wandered
/ through his native parks, lanes and
/ meadow lands the eager listening
child drank in the sights and sounds
OF healthy country life, unconscious
! ly laying up in memory a goodly
store Of knowledge for future use.
There are many passages scatter
ed throughout his works, some OF
them among the most beautiful that
he ever wrote, in which no particu-
lar tree, herb or flower is mention
ed by name, but which shows his
intimate knowledge of plants and
gardening and his great love for
them.
We can imagine that his mother,
who loved the homely plants in her
little garden, directed and trained
him to miss nothing that came with
