Most interesting one. I found it in a pile of rubble at the used bookstore I work at. Printed in Bengal in 1953, with a New Delhi Oxford stamp on the inside cover. Some cigarette smoke damage on the spine. I'm thinking of the owner, who is probably dead now.

"The contrast between the beautiful, broad, unalloyed peace of Nature – calm, passive, silent unfathomable – and our own everyday worries – paltry, sorrow-laden, strife-tormented... Where nature is hidden and cowers under mist and cloud, snow and darkness, there man feels himself master; he regards his desires, his works, as permanent."
