Excerpt from Sketches, Biographical and IncidentalOtway was a child of the wilderness - a situation not unsuitable to awaken imagination, to cultivate taste, and to call forth the love of nature and the Spirit of poesy.The approach of the bear, the rattle of the snake, the whoop of the savage, were among the sources of his early fears. To observe the swallow build her nest in the barn, and to watch the deer bounding through the bushes, were among his early amusements, to mark when the dog-wood blossoms, and when the north winds blow, to observe how nature mingles storm with sunshine, and draws the rainbow on the cloud, were among his first lessons in philosophy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
