"I know a poet who was totally ignorant about botany. And I said: you can't be a poet without knowing any botany or plants and things like that; it's impossible, that's the first thing you should know."

this is probably my favorite book that I have from powell's. Published in 1934! I love the captions under the pictures, they are like poetry.
like "The Tattered Silky Bark of the Birches"
and "Shagbark Hickory is Known and Named by its Loose, Stripping Bark"
(click photos to make bigger)
anyway, this post is weird, i might be the only one who finds this interesting
anyway! have a good evening!
