Thoughts in My Garden, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts in My Garden, Vol. 2 of 2 Autumn, 1874. Ah, me! for the summer that's dying, As summers have died heretofore! The yachts and the swallows are flying; The last man in town is a bore. The belle of the season is married To some one with millions a year, Whose brain as a desert is arid, Whose terre is petroleum or beer. As for me, in the stern of my skiff I Am smoking, right cosily curl'd; The first breeze takes me off in a jiffy - Egad, 'tis the way of the world.
