CHAPTER IV. THE GREEN PEOPLE

I have always had a fondness, when upon my travels about the world of the near-by woods and fields, for nipping a bit of a twig1 here and there and tasting the tart2 or bitter quality of it. I suppose the instinct descends3 to me from the herbivorous side of my distant ancestry4. I love a spray of white cedar5, especially the spicy7, sweet inside bark, or a pine needle, or the tender, sweet, juicy end of a spike8 of timothy grass drawn9 slowly from its close-fitting sheath, or a twig of the birch that tastes like wintergreen.
 
I think this no strange or unusual instinct, for I have seen many other people doing it, especially farmers around here, who go through the fields nipping the new oats, testing the red-top, or chewing a bit of sassafras bark. I have in mind a clump10 of shrubbery in the town road, where an old house once stood, of the kind called here by some the “sweet-scented11 shrub,” and the brandies of it nearest the road are quite clipped and stunted12 I'm being nipped at by old ladies who pass that way and take to it like cat to catnip.
 
For a long time this was a wholly unorganized, indeed all but unconscious, pleasure, a true pattern of the childish way we take hold of the earth; but when I began to come newly alive to all things as I have already related—I chanced upon this curious, undeveloped instinct.
 
“What is it I have here?” I asked myself, for I thought this might be a new handle for getting hold of nature.
