{"product_id":"2940015502275","title":"SONG OF THE BROOK (Illustrated)","description":"Tennyson's well-known poem, \"Song of the Brook,\" have been written by a person whose eyes were not open to every beauty in nature, and whose ears were not receptive of the music of nature's softest voices. The reason for Tennyson's being so close an observer of nature was that he was seeking truth, and in this search nature offered him a voluminous library.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the first things with which Tennyson was impressed was the order underlying the processes of nature. He also learned that the workings of nature show an eternal purpose. It is needless to say that knowledge of such facts as these had much to do with the shaping of Tennyson's life and of his conception of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The  Song of the Brook,' is an extremely sweet idyl poem andin the course in which the little brook sings its own song—a song which we should greatly like to transfer to our pages; such a one as perhaps nobody but Mr. Tennyson could have written, and which will find its echo by the meadowy banks and pebbly rapids of a thousand English brooks in summers long to come. Really, when we took up our pen to describe this poem, we had a mind to be very sour and ill-natured; but a poet who can tell us what the village brook is singing in such fashion ad this, is not a man for even a critic to quarrel with.","brand":"Leila's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084425117936,"sku":"2940015502275","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015502275_p0.jpg?v=1763620948","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015502275","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
