There are, however, a few notable exceptions, the best one I know being Serge Aksakoff's History of His Childhood; and in his case the picture was not falsified, simply because the temper, and tastes, and passions of his early boyhood his intense love of his mother, of nature, of all wildness, and of sport endured unchanged in him to the end and kept him a boy in heart, able after long years to revive the past mentally, and picture it in its true, fresh, original colours.
The animistic faculty and its survival in us A boy's animism and its persistence Impossibility of seeing our past exactly as it was Serge Aksakoff's history of his childhood The child's delight in nature purely physical First intimations of animism in the child How it affected me Feeling with regard to flowers A flower and my mother History of a flower Animism with regard to trees Locust-trees by moonlight Animism and nature-worship Animistic emotion not uncommon Cowper and the Yardley oak The religionist's fear of nature Pantheistic Christianity Survival of nature-worship in England The feeling for nature Wordsworth's pantheism and animistic emotion in poetry.
In reading, nothing goes to my heart like any true account of a mother and son's love for one another, such as we find in that true book I have already spoken of in a former chapter, Serge Aksakoff's History of my Childhood. Of other books I may cite Leigh Hunt's Autobiography in the early chapters.
