A Book of Days: Wisdom Through the Seasons

Seventeen hundred gemlike quotations dealing with all aspects of human life are drawn from every source imaginable - from man's earliest records to modern times, from Aristotle to Thoreau to Thurber to W.C. Fields. These quotations are arranged chronologically beginning with Spring and Youth, then to Summer and Maturity, on to Autumn and Harvest and then ending with Winter and Rest. For illustrations, this book offers two hundred woodcut illustrations from 16th century incunabula.
