THE MAKING OF A NATURALIST

the little wood folk occur every day.
but the actors are so quick, so hidden
by screens. and so entirely in another
world. as il were. that few passers-by
take note of them.
we have to learn to see things to
penetrate this world that lies just on
the other side of the leaf so to speak.
Some people never learn: others learn
easily and quickly. / took my first
lessons as a farm boy, and have gone
on practising and improving ever since,
so that now of the main joys of my life
is TO be in the open air where history
is being made every moment and
where the eye and ear are constantly
being challenged to do their very best.
TO see accurately and completely is
power given to few hence the OBJ
servations of the majority of people
are OF no scientific value whatever"

That summer and the next winter
