However, on we go by degrees, and find the banks everywhere rich with fresh springing grass and deep full beds of moss, with every here and there the pale lemon-tinted petals of the primrose just peeping through the partial openings in their shrouding mantles of green; and there, above us, hangs that which I had hoped to find the catkins of the hazel, which have been hailed by children for centuries under the names of 'Pussy-cat's tails, or 'Baa-lamb's tails; and a more interesting flower for examination as we pass onwards we can scarcely have, for its structure is very peculiar and beautiful.
Just see how much more pointed at the top that fir is than that spruce back there; and the branches grow straight out, too, like arms, and they're all smooth and tapering at the ends like a pussy-cat's tail.
