"Who would not prefer me to all the corn-poppies on earth V added the other. Thus the blonde and the brunette would converse together every evening. Then they would embrace each other, and sleep until the first cooings of their turtles awoke them. III. A COUNTRY JUDGE'S IDEA. Finding himself worn out, wrinkled and withered, the country judge began to think of marrying; and inasmuch as he was humpbacked, lame, toothless, bald, and asthmatic, he concluded that he ought to have the prettiest girl in the village. And thus it was that he cast his eyes on Bleuette. IV. A SQUIRE'S NOTION. The squire of the village lived in an old, cracked tower, which admitted rain, wind, hail, snow, and was open, indeed, to all kinds of weather. His only domestic was a peasant, who attended to the hogs by day, and at evening waited on his master. But this did not hinder him from talking of his chateau, and of his servants. He possessed, nevertheless, the right of jurisdiction, both high and low, over a territory which no longer belonged to him, and through the space of a league around, could hang any one he pleased. One fine day, when his gout, his catarrh, and his rheumatism left him a little ease, it occurred to him, that hitherto he had been living a selfish life;--and, noble gentleman as he was, he formed the generous resolution to share, henceforth, with some human being, the advantages of his position; he determined, in fact, to insure the happiness of some woman. His choice rested on Coquelicot. V. THE TWO DELICATE-COLORED TUNICS. In the mean time, the two shepherdesses, unsuspicious of the honors which were about to descend upon them, were quietly enjoying the love of their shepherds. Lucas sung his woes in a silken tunic of palest green, while Blaise, ...

Download or read book The Reason for Flowers written by Stephen Buchmann and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fascinating...Buchmann’s knowledge and enthusiasm jump off the page.” —The Wall Street Journal “An extraordinarily good book.” —Edward O. Wilson The lively and definitive story of the beauty, sexuality, lore, economics, and ecology of the world ’s flowers, written by a devoted scientist and illustrated with his stunning photographs. Flowers—and the fruits they often become—feed, clothe, and inspire us. Indeed, they have done so for all of human history. Yet although we use flowers to celebrate important occasions, to express love, and to please our senses, we know little about them, their functions in nature, or even how we depend on them. In a volume that will delight gardeners, naturalists, cooks, artists, or anyone interested in history or culture, pollination ecologist Stephen Buchmann serves as an expert guide through the fascinating world of flowers. He explains how other species relate to flowers in ways crucial to the natural world. Next he takes us on an engaging exploration of the roles flowers play in the production of food, spices, medicines, and perfumes. Flowering plants, Buchmann then shows, have long served as inspirational themes in art and literature. Flowers have in fact so thoroughly seduced us that we now buy some ten million a day, driving breeders to create infinite varieties and unusual blooms. In this cultural and natural investigation of floral history, Stephen Buchmann’s masterful narrative illuminates just why there is, indeed, a reason for flowers.

Download or read book Style, Gender, and Fantasy in Nineteenth-Century American Women's Writing written by Dorri Beam and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 2010 book, Dorri Beam presents an important contribution to nineteenth-century fiction by examining how and why a florid and sensuous style came to be adopted by so many authors. Discussing a diverse range of authors, including Margaret Fuller and Pauline Hopkins, Beam traces this style through a variety of literary endeavors and reconstructs the political rationale behind the writers' commitments to this form of prose. Beam provides both close readings of a number of familiar and unfamiliar works and an overarching account of the importance of this form of writing, suggesting new ways of looking at style as a medium through which gender can be signified and reshaped. Style, Gender, and Fantasy in Nineteenth Century American Women's Writing redefines our understanding of women's relation to aesthetics and their contribution to both American literary romanticism and feminist reform. This illuminating account provides valuable new insights for scholars of American literature and women's writing.

Download or read book Drawing from Life written by Patricia Jonas and published by Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This book was released on 2007 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago it was fashionable for young women to collect and paint plants as a sort of genteel parlor skill. Some singularly talented women became professiionals, but their contributiosn to both art and botany have remained nearly invisble. The exhibition "Drawing from life" features the work of 14 women botanical artists, from the first decades of the 20th century to the present, focusing on the forgotten art of Brooklyn Botanic Garden's staff artist for 32 years, Maud H. Purdy. Side by side, these ... works reveal how established conventions of botanical art are shaped both by fashions of the times and individual artistic visions. Paintings, scientific illustrations, herbarium specimens, preparatory sketches, and objects of material culture explore the boundaries between art, science and craft and invite us to see plants with fresh eyes."--Back cover
