Chapter 108 Spring - 4

When the sun went down, the sand stopped flowing, but in the morning, the sand stream started to flow again, and one branch after another was divided into hundreds of millions of streams.Perhaps you can learn from this how blood vessels are formed, and if you look carefully, you can see that at first out of that solution, there was a flow of softened sand, preceded by a tip like a drop, like the round protrusion of a finger , slowly and blindly seeks its way downwards, till at last, as the sun rises higher, it has more heat and moisture, and the larger part of the liquid is to obey the most sluggish part The law, detached from the latter, stands out, forming itself a tortuous channel or vessel, in which you can see a silvery stream, flashing like lightning, from one silt-formed branch to another. For a while, but it is always swallowed up by fine sand from time to time.The magic is that the fine sand flows quickly and organizes itself extremely perfectly, using the best materials to form both sides of the channel.The long history of rivers is just such a thing.About the skeletal system is formed of water and silicon, and on the finer soil and organic compounds, our muscle fibers or fiber cells are formed.What is man but a lump of molten mud?The apex of a human finger and toe is just a condensed drop.Fingers and toes flowed from the dissolution of the body to their limits.In a more organic environment, who knows how much the human body would expand and flow?Isn't the palm like an open palm leaf with leaves and veins?The ears, imagined as a type of moss, Umbilicaria, hang from the sides of the head, and also have its leaf-like lobes or drops.Lips—the word source labium, probably derived from labor (labor)—are folded and hung on the upper and lower sides of the mouth.The nose, apparently, is a condensed drop, or stalactite.The chin is a bigger drop, where the drops from the whole face come together.The cheek is a slope that descends from the brow to the valley and spreads widely over the cheekbones.The blade of each blade of grass is also a thick drop of water slowly flowing, whether large or small; the blade is the finger of the leaf, and the number of blades indicates the direction it intends to flow, if it has more heat or some other kind of fostering influence, it goes still farther.

In this way, this little slope has illustrated the principle of all the activities of nature.The creator of the earth only patented the form of a leaf.Which chambray can decipher for us the meaning of this hieroglyph, so that we can finally turn to a new leaf?This phenomenon gives me more joy than a rich and productive vineyard.Indeed, it is secreted in nature, and there are so many livers, lungs, and intestines that there is no bottom, as if the inside of the earth has been turned upside down; but this at least shows that nature has intestines and is the mother of human beings .This is frost from the ground; this is spring.Just as mythology precedes formal poetry, so it precedes the green spring, the blooming spring.I know of nothing that washes away the winter fog and indigestion better.It convinces me that the earth is still in its swaddling womb, still stretching out its baby fingers here and there.From the baldest brow sprouted new curls.Nothing in the world is inorganic.The leaf-shaped pattern on the roadbed is like the slag in the boiler, indicating that the interior of nature is "burning hot".The earth is not just a fragment of dead history, the strata are like the pages of a book, mainly for geologists and archaeologists to study; the earth is living poetry, like the leaves of a tree, It precedes flower and fruit;—not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with it, all animal and plant life is but parasitized on this great central life.Its tremors can expose our remains from their graves.You may melt your metals, and cast them into the most beautiful shapes that you can; but not so excite me as the patterns formed by the solution of this earth.Not only that, any system is like a piece of clay placed in the hands of a potter, it is plastic.

Soon, not only on these shores, but in every hill, plain, and cave, the frost came out of the earth, and like a quadruped awakened from hibernation, it sought the sea to the sound of music. , or migrate to another location in the cloud.Melting snow, softly coaxing, is far more powerful than Thor, who wields a hammer.The one dissolves, the other smashes it to pieces. A part of the land is now free of snow, and a succession of warm days has dried its surface to a considerable degree, and it is pleasing to the eye to use the tenderness of the nascent phenomena of the infancy of this new year, To compare with the noble beauty of some old plants that have survived the winter,--everlastings, yellow asters, needle-grasses, and other refined weeds, are often sharper and more radiant now than they were in summer. as if their beauty had to survive the winter to reach maturity: even cottongrass, timoth, mullein, foxtail, spiraea, prairie grass, and other plants with strong stems, are The endless barns of early spring birds,--at least decent weeds, Nature's winter embellishments.I am particularly attracted by the domed, sheaf-like top of the wool grass; it brings summer back to our memory in winter, and that form is what artists are fond of depicting, and in the vegetable kingdom its form and human Mental types are related as astrology is to the human mind.It is a classical style older than Greek or Egyptian.Many winter phenomena just suggest an indescribably soft, fragile delicacy.We often hear people describe winter as a rough and violent tyrant: in fact, it is adorning the cold hair of summer with light hands and feet like a lover.
