Great Possessions

These books written ten years before Great Possessions. Grayson talks of the earth and the tastes and smells he has encountered. His observations about life and the world around him are classic. He talks not of the outer visible life of a man, but rather of the inner thoughts and experiences that are in their own way much more fulfilling. A moment later I discovered a patch of low green verdure upon the ground, and dismissed it scornfully as one of my ancient enemies. But it is this way with enemies, once we come to know them, they often turn out to have a fragrance that is kindly.
