I'm finding that I'm understanding the prose more when I hear it than when I read it, and even more when I see it illustrated. I'm actually surprised.

If it ends with a young boy tossing the pine comb onto a giant pile of pine straw and then pouring gasoline or kerosine on it and lighting it, then I might have been there.

But I admit nothing.

Loved viewing American history through Henry Livingston's pine tree, know you must have enjoyed doing this one.

At the end, It was pining for the fjords.

Well written prose is better read aloud. As such, I think it functions much as does poetry.

For a different take on lyric and music regarding that phylum, I recommend:

“A Day in the Life of a Tree”, by The Beach Boys, from the album, Surf’s Up.

(This is far from surf music, despite the title. It is avant rock/pop.)
