—The insipid and cowardly notion
“ Nature," invented by Nature-enthusiasts (without
any knowledge whatsoever of the terrible, the
implacable, and the cynical element in even “the
most
beautiful”
aspects), is only a sort of attempt
at reading the moral and Christian notion of
"humanity” into Nature ;-Rousseau's concept of
Nature, for instance, which took for granted that
“Nature" meant freedom, goodness, innocence,
equity, justice, and Idylls, was nothing more at
bottom than the cult of Christian morality.

Passepartout wandered for several hours in the midst of this motley
crowd, looking in at the windows of the rich and curious shops, the
jewellery establishments glittering with quaint Japanese ornaments, the
restaurants decked with streamers and banners, the tea-houses, where
the odorous beverage was being drunk with saki, a liquor concocted from
the fermentation of rice, and the
comfortable
smoking-houses, where
they were puffing, not opium, which is almost unknown in Japan, but a
very fine, stringy tobacco.

THE BRIDE OF WAR
(ARNOLD'S MARCH TO CANADA, 1775)
I
The trumpet, with a giant sound,
Its harsh war-summons wildly sings;
And, bursting forth like mountain-springs,
Poured from the hillside camping-ground,
Each swift
battalion
shouting flings
Its force in line; where you may see
The men, broad-shouldered, heavily
Sway to the swing of the march; their heads
Dark like the stones in river-beds.

was it glad to bide, but burning flew
folded in flame: a fearful beginning
for sons of the soil; and soon it came,
in the doom of their lord, to a
dreadful
end.
