LOTOS-EATING:

A SUMMER BOOK.

A Summer Book.

BY

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS,

AUTHOR OF "NILE NOTES," "THE WANDERER IN SYRIA," ETC. ETC.

"There's rosemary-that's for remembrance."

"Tax not my sloth, that I

Fold my arms beside the brook;
Each cloud that floated in the sky
Writes a letter in my book.

Chide me not, laborious band,

For the idle flowers I brought-

Every aster in my hand

Goes home loaded with a thought."
