By John James Iriirall
“Gra^s is the forgiveness of nature .... her constant bene
diction. Fields trampled with battle, scarred with the ruts of
cannon, grow green again with grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become grass-grown like rural lanes
Und are obliterated. Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers van
ish, but grass is immortal. Sown by the winds, by wandering
birds, propagated by the subtle horticulture of the elements, which
are its ministers and servants, it softens the rude outline of the
world. Its tenacious fibres hold the earth in its place, and prevent
its soluble components from washing into the sea. It invades the
solitude of deserts, climbs the inaccessible slopes and forbidding
pinnacles of mountains, modifies climates, and determines the his
tory, character and destiny of nations. Unobtrusive and patient,
it has immortal vigor and aggression. Banished from the thor
oughfare or the field, it bides its time to return, and w'hen vigi
lance is relaxed, or the dynasty has perished, it silently resumes
its throne from which it has been expelled but which it never ab
dicates. It bears no blazonrr of bloom to charm the sen.ses with
fragrance or splendor, but its homely hue is more enchanting than
the lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet
should its harvest fail for a single year famine would depopulate
the world.”
