Salt, Henry Stephens 22020535 The Call of the Wildflower Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreaders at fadedpage.net "The Call of the Wildflower" by Henry S. Salt is a nature-oriented essay collection written in the early 20th century. The book explores the beauty and significance of wildflowers in their natural habitats, contrasting them with cultivated plants in gardens. Salt delves into the spiritual and emotional connections humans have with flowers, portraying them as friends rather than mere decorative specimens. At the start of the work, the author eloquently expresses a deep appreciation for wildflowers, emphasizing their allure and the unique joy they bring to those who seek them in their natural environments. He discusses the challenge of finding and identifying these flowers in the wild and reflects on his own journey of learning about them later in life. Salt articulates the importance of enjoying the free, unconfined beauty of wildflowers, presenting a philosophical view on the relationship between humans and nature, while lamenting the decline of natural spaces due to urban development and careless flower-picking. The opening sets the stage for a further exploration of various flower-rich landscapes in Britain, suggesting a meditative quest through nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
