大自然的老人

約翰‧布洛斯 (John Burroughs) 出生
183743

當時喜歡布洛斯作品的人們、在他的書裡看到諸如「鳥兒,詩人,與自然的情境」這類的標題。所以他們都稱布洛斯為「大自然的老人」 (Grand Old Man of Nature) 。他看起來其實也很像,因為他有白白的鬍子與向羽毛般輕軟的頭髮。他覺得「記錄下他對於自然世界的獨特認知,乃是他的責任」。我們也有屬於自己看待這個世界的獨特方式。就像布洛斯一樣,也許你對於大自然也有所偏好。把你看到的週遭環境描述下來。請你的家人看看你的觀察心得。他們是不是也看到你所發現的現象呢?

People of his time loved Burroughs's writings found in his books with titles like Birds and Poets and Ways of Nature. They used to call him the "Grand Old Man of Nature." He looked the part, too, with his long white beard and feathery hair. He felt it was his "duty to record his own unique perceptions of the natural world." We all have our own unique way of seeing the world. Like Burroughs, maybe you have an eye for nature. Write down what you see around you. Ask your family to read your observations. Did they see what you saw?
