About the end of September, when the leaf begins to change, it makes a happy contrast with the oak, whose foliage is yet verdant. Some of the finest oppositions of tint which perhaps the forest can furnish arise 86 CHURCH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE. from the union of oak and beech.
Página 310 - It is perhaps the most picturesque of any of the aquatic tribe, except the weeping willow. He who would see the alder in perfection must follow the banks of the Mole in Surrey, through the sweet vales of Dorking and Mickleham, into the groves of Esher. The Mole, indeed, is far from being a beautiful river ; it is a silent and sluggish stream, but what beauty it has it owes greatly to the alder, which everywhere fringes its meadows, and in many places forms very pleasing scenes.
Página 278 - Its name denotes the place of its usual residence. Inured to cold and rugged scenes, it is the hardy inhabitant of the northern parts of this island. Sometimes it is found in softer climes : but there it generally discovers, by its stunted growth, that it does not occupy the situation it loves. In ancient days, when superstition held that place in society which dissipation and impiety now hold, the Mountain Ash was considered as an object of great veneration.
Página 188 - Shade deepening over shade, the country round Imbrown ; a varied umbrage, dusk and dun, Of every hue, from wan declining green To sooty dark.' " Of all the hues of autumn, those of the oak are commonly the most harmonious. As its vernal tints are more varied than those of other trees, so are its autumnal. In an oaken wood, you see every variety of green, and every variety of brown, owing either to the different exposure of the tree, its different soil, or its different nature. The deep orange tint...
