The Lost Spells – from author Robert Macfarlane and artist Jackie Morris, a rewilding of the human heart in a lyrical illustrated invocation of nature.
Chlorophyll evolved more than a billion years, was discovered 200 years ago, yet remains a mystery. Its fascinating science explains why, when autumn leaves change, nature’s true colors are actually revealed – colors that include true-blue bananas.

BLOOM
by Emily Dickinson
Bloom — is Result — to meet a Flower
And casually glance
Would cause one scarcely to suspect
The minor Circumstance
Assisting in the Bright Affair
So intricately done
Then offered as a Butterfly
To the Meridian —
To pack the Bud — oppose the Worm —
Obtain its right of Dew —
Adjust the Heat — elude the Wind —
Escape the prowling Bee
Great Nature not to disappoint
Awaiting Her that Day —
To be a Flower, is profound
Responsibility
A. J. Casson (Canada, 1898-1892)
