[EAN: 9781490463001], Neubuch, STEWART EDWARD WHITE,CLASSICS, This item is printed on demand. Paperback. The Red Gods make their medicine again. Some time in February, when the snow and sleet have shut out from the wearied mind even the memory of spring, the man of the woods generally receives his first inspiration. He may catch it from some companions chance remark, a glance at the map, a vague recollection of a dim past conversation, or it may flash on him from the mere pronouncement of a name. The first faint thrill of discovery leaves him cool, but gradually, with the increasing enthusiasm of cogitation, the idea gains body, until finally it has grown to plan fit for discussion. Of these many quickening potencies of inspiration, the mere name of a place seems to strike deepest at the heart of romance. Colour, mystery, the vastnesses of unexplored space are there, symbolized compactly for the aliment of imagination. It lures the fancy as a fly lures the trout. Mattgami, Peace River, Knanaw, the House of the Touchwood Hills, Ruperts House, the Land of Little Sticks, Flying Post, Conjurors House--how the syllables roll from the tongue, what pictures rise in instant response to their suggestion! The journey of a thousand miles seems not too great a price to pay for the sight of a place called the Hills of Silence, for acquaintance with the people who dwell there, perhaps for a glimpse of the saga-spirit that so named its environment. On the other hand, one would feel but little desire to visit Muggins Corners, even though at their crossing one were assured of the deepest flavour of the Far North. This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
