Description

This book includes confession The season is ending in the little summer settlement on the Down East

coast where I have been passing the last three months, and with each

loath day the sense of its peculiar charm grows more poignant.

A prescience of the homesickness I shall feel for it when I go already

begins to torment me, and I find myself wishing to imagine some form of

words which shall keep a likeness of it at least through the winter; some

shadowy semblance which I may turn to hereafter if any chance or change

should destroy or transform it, or, what is more likely, if I should

never come back to it. Perhaps others in the distant future may turn to

it for a glimpse of our actual life in one of its most characteristic

phases; I am sure that in the distant present there are many millions of

our own inlanders to whom it would be altogether strange.
