The wonderful Richard Jefferies on his striving for ‘soul-life’(his own interpretation of hagioptasic feelings) in 1883:

The man in the sketch is Harold Adams. He founded the Richard Jefferies Society, and worked in the Parks department in the town, mostly in the Town Gardens. He would have known and loved the tree that is now the latest sculpture of Jefferies. 🥰

A lovely, encouraging, illuminating feature in here on landscape & nature writing & the importance of prizes such as The Wainwright Prizes & Richard Jefferies Society on raising awareness & expanding the genre; thank you Simon Whaley: Author | Writer | Photographer for asking the questions of me & writing it!

The trees are getting ready to perform one of nature’s greatest magic tricks 🪄🤹🏼 Their leaf buds are tiny bundles of colour, all packed full of the promise of spring, and a wonderful source of winter joy 🙏 IDs below!

The South Downs and Beachy Head, East Sussex, were settings in Jefferies' spiritual autobiography 'The Story of My Heart' (1883). After he had left his native Wiltshire, these spaces took him away from civilization and closer to undisturbed countryside.

Jefferies was an advocate of outdoor learning for young children: “among green grass and yellow wheat – among trees – by hills and streams ...they shall find a secret, a knowledge not to be found in books...They will forget their books. They will never forget the grassy fields."
