How to Get Into Touch With Nature.

M. Maeterlinck has discovered that the only way to get into touch with nature is to travel at full speed in a motor car, for by this means only do you get into “intimate relations with rivers, fields and trees.” One can imagine M. Maeterlinck as the contact with the tree trunk or brook became imminent repeating the old exclamation of the falling steeplejack. Only M. Maeterlinck would say, “Now for the intimate relation.” It is a prettier phrase than “the blooming bump.”—London Globe.
