The Wood Carver's Wife (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Wood Carver's Wife It was in June and amid the Wild loveliness of sea and forest that the writer first saw the manuscript of this book. The author of it sat where great rocks wedged a fallen log - fallen so long that its dead, gray bark had changed to the many greens of velvet mosses. Below lay the Pacific and above and far back the moun tains rose. Forest sounds, secret and musical, accompanied the rise and fall of the poet's voice as she turned the pages, reading here and there. When she had finished little was said - silence and the dim loveliness of the place seemed the most fitting comment; beauty had melted into beauty, making each more beautiful.
