And dearly he loved the glimpse of the Louisiana sky seen through these parting sprays of verdure, - skies blue and candid as the eyes of a child, as a New England poet phrased it.And doubtless many a summer night would have held him there with its whispers and friendly stars, but that the mosquitoes came with the twilight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
