Excerpt from The Torch, 1925 There is that facility of movement and feeling of freedom that one has when gazing out across a spacious lawn interspersed with tall, stately trees that cast their cool shade in Summer and stand as silent proof of the ravages of Winter. In the Spring when the buds begin to swell and burst into the light green foliage over all the trees, and the tiny blades of grass shoot upward to form an emerald carpet beneath their spreading boughs, we delight to loiter there, in the warm sunlight to watch the robins running gaily along, pull ing earthworms from their hiding places, and occasionally pausing to straighten themselves backward with the dignity and poise of a judge.
