One is not surprised to meet the Tiger-Lily in it; that must always have had the jungle in its heart; but that the Baby's Breath should be found wandering by the road-sides from Massachusetts and Virginia to Ohio, gives one a tender pang as for a lost child.
"I find," he said, "that there are many members here who do not know me yet, young members, probably, who are green from the waste lands and road-sides of private life. They will know me soon, and then, may be, there will be less of this foolish noise, less of this elongation of unnecessary necks. Our Rome must be aroused to a sense of its danger by other voices than these."
In the fields and along the road-sides unusual crops of the tall-stemm'd wild daisy, white as milk and yellow as gold. It was a queer, taking, rather sad picture. If I had been alone and on foot, I should have stopp'd and held confab.
Green rows of Willows may also be seen by road-sides in damp places, and irregular groups of them near the water-courses. The foreign trees seldom found in woods are still unchanged, as we may observe wherever there is a row of European Elms, Weeping Willows, or a hedge-row of Privet.
It also runs up to an unusual height, compared with other trees, before it forms a head, so that its lower branches are sometimes elevated above the roofs of the houses of common height Hence it would be a valuable tree for road-sides, if it were healthy, as it would allow the largest vehicles to pass freely under its boughs.
Not only was every available corner in the little village filled to overflowing with parties, witnesses, and their adherents, but during the first week of the term the stable yards and road-sides were lined with covered wagons and other vehicles, in or under which some of those who had not been fortunate enough to obtain shelter in the inn used to sleep, and "Briles's bar" under the tavern did a thriving business.
I demand a levy of 300,000 men with this and what I already have, I shall see a million in arms. I will form a camp of 100,000 at Bourdeaux; another at Mentz; a third at Lyons. But I must have grown men these boys serve only to encumber the hospitals and the road-sides.... Abandon Holland! sooner yield it back to the sea!
Frazer, "call this plant Neglected everlasting, because it grows on dry wastes by road-sides, among thistles and fireweed; but I love it for its sweetness; it is like a true friend it never changes. See, my dear, how shining its straw-coloured blossoms and buds are, just like satin flowers."
Low stone cottages lined the road-sides, with windows that opened like doors, with an inevitable big black stove whenever your eye got far enough in, with a pleasant stoop in front, with women perpetually washing the floors and the windows, with beautiful and brilliant flowers blooming profusely in every window, and often trailing and climbing about its whole area.
We spoke in a former part of this work of the uncommon civility manifested in a variety of ways on the road-sides. A trifling incident occurred one day in St. John's, which at first seemed to be no small rudeness.
