Nature's Rejuvenation

1 passage in the novel carry this mark, in the order they appear.

Oh, grassy glades! oh, ever vernal endless landscapes in the soul; in ye,—though long parched by the dead drought of the earthy life,—in ye, men yet may roll, like young horses in new morning clover; and for some few fleeting moments, feel the cool dew of the life immortal on them. Would to God these blessed calms would last.

Chapter 114, The Gilder · verse 4
