Wild Comfort: The Solace of Nature
Moore's first essay about snakes really grabbed me and raised my expectations, but the rest of the book was a long, rocky climb to see a view that wasn't worth the effort.
These observations on nature were strangely lifeless and there was a weird, unpleasant tale about a child clutching a dead bird until its head popped off that was somehow supposed to be inspiring.
The best lines in the book came from someone other than the author - Rachel Carson, Camus, Sartre, Chet Raymo, and this lovely sentiment from the author's friend, Hank:
"Pay attention to the present moment," he said. "Every moment we are wondering at the path of the wind across the water or smiling to see a dog rest in the sun, we are not rehearsing our misfortunes. Every moment we are glad for the twilight of morning, we are not vexed. It is impossible to be at the same time grateful and spiteful."
Maybe her next effort should be a book of quotations...
