Excerpt from The Lure of the Land, Farming After FiftyTo the farmer's boy the town appeals as a means of a career. The country appeals to the city boy as a place of rest and quiet enjoyment. When you turn your face towards the city you go to hard struggle, a hard environment, to a life surrounded by temptations. When you face the country, on the contrary, you look to a life of repose, of quiet, not devoid of labor, but with greater certainty of success and less ignominy of failure. The one is an instinct to return to the nat ural life, the other is a desire to acquire the artificial life. Each of them is logical, and each of these de sires must be reckoned with from the standpoint of practical philosophy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
