Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orion: May, 1917 From the first I had liked the boy, a boy I call him, for he seemed so boyish, so youthful, so innocent. Before long, a deep friendship had developed. At recreation time we took long tramps together over the hills and meadows of the island. The place which had before seemed deso late, was soon transformed into a sort of celestial garden of nature. It was Pedro (that was what we called him) that brought the revelation to me. He was a deep and close communist with nature. Every flower seemed to him a human soul, a. Link between God and man. Some times his thoughts about God and humanity were so far away from me, so vague that I couldn't understand him. But although he was a little too deep for me, I appreciated, valued his friendship none the less. As I think of it now, his friendship was like the perfume of some flower, a flower that is so sweet, though vague, as if it were veiled so that we cannot tell where it is and from whence the fragrance comes, and then about the time we from its perfume have almost distinguished what it is, the perfume seems to diffuse into varied other sensations. In those tramps together, he never talked much. His nature was not of that kin-d. His thoughts seemed to speak, to fill the vacancy. It was only the noisy breakers when they came roaring and clashing against the shore that would wake him from his revery. How often have I heard him as he looked out at the turbulent waters, quote lines beginning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
