Excerpt from Poetical Works
James Thomson, the great author of the "Seasons," was the eldest son of the Rev. Thomas Thomson, minister of the parish of Ednam, Roxburghshire, and was born there on the 11th of September 1700. His father was of good birth, and seems to have been a man of excellent character and respectable talents. His mother was Beatrix Trotter, daughter and heiress to Mr Trotter of Fogo, a small estate in the neighbourhood of Greenlaw, Berwickshire. The year after the Poets birth his father was translated to Southdean, near Jedburgh. Thomson was thus from his birth fortunately situated in point of scenery. He was brought up near the banks of the Tweed, the Teviot, and the Jed, in the neighbourhood of the ancient ruins of Jedburgh, Dryburgh, Kelso, and Melrose, and with the blue Cheviots bounding the horizon. It was a country, not only of beautiful landscapes, but teeming with romantic memories, and echoing with the songs afterwards destined to form the "Minstrelsy of the Border." It was fit that Thomson, the finest describer of the sublimer glories of nature, should be born, and that Scott, the best painter of its more picturesque aspects, should be buried, in the centre of Scotland's richest and most varied scenery. Indeed, the Earl of Buchan assures us that it was in Dryburgh Abbey (where now the mighty minstrel slumbers) that Thomson first tuned his "Doric reed."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey through all four seasons, from the rebirth of spring to the icy grip of winter, exploring the beauty and the changes that each season brings. Beginning with a dedication to the Countess of Hertford, the author provides vivid descriptions of nature, of the natural world awakening from its winter slumber. He paints pictures with words that allow the reader to hear the birds singing, to smell the flowers, and to experience the changing landscape around them. The author also reflects on the human condition, seeing the seasons as a metaphor for the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. He explores the darker side of the human heart, but also finds joy and hope in the beauty of nature. This is a book that will appeal to nature lovers, to those who appreciate beautiful writing, and to anyone who has ever pondered the meaning of life. It is a book that will be treasured for generations to come.
