Excerpt from The Day Before Yesterday

In the lost years the Village lay in the hollow of the palm of the fair prairie, which held it right lovingly, knowing how precious it was. Green billows of waving corn, yellow shoals of bending wheat, gray-green drifts of foamy oats, and crimson tides of rippling clover flowed in to the very edge of the Addition, on whose trim streets the thrifty Germans dwelt apart. Great bur-oaks held themselves together, here and there, whispering of the old wild days they had known before the coming of the Palefaces, and so holding in scorn all petty things, by rea son of the nobility of their own great natures, that under them grew no noxious weeds, but rather waving seas of blue-grass, tipped with dandelions, maybe, or with blue Violets, or buttercups.
