Our friend Alan Jacobs has a marvelous essay on trees in the new issue of Books & Culture —a fine, fun walk through the forests of dendrology, beginning in his own yard.
Still, in his deep and peaceful reveries, Alan doesn’t seem to have mentioned quite all that needs to be said about trees. There’s the creepy, uncanny side of nature’s giants, as well. Via the Corner at National Review comes this link to a webpage of photos of unhappy, unfriendly, and uneasy trees. You know, the ones that want to drink your blood and steal your soul.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
