INTRODUCTION.
I. THE LIVING INFINITE.
The writer is moved by the voices of the Insect World, [17]
Which leads him to reflect on its infinite numbers, [18]
He refers to his loving study of the Bird, [19]
But the Bird had a language; has the Insect?, [19]
In many respects, it is an enigma which Man cannot read, [20]
The Insect, however, has much to plead in self-defence, [21]
And between it and Man the interpreter must be Love, [22]
