![]() In each of these complicated structures, as in their smallest constituents, there is an immanent energy which, in harmony with that resident in all the others, incessantly works towards the maintenance of the whole and efficient performance of the part which it has to play in the economy of nature. A small green seedling emerges, rises to the surface of the soil, rapidly increases in size and, at the same time, undergoes a series of metamorphoses which do not excite our wonder as much as those which meet us in legendary history, merely because they are to be seen every day and all day long.īy insensible steps, the plant builds itself up into a large and various fabric of root, stem, leaves, flowers and fruit, every one moulded within and without in accordance with an extremely complex, but, at the same time, minutely defined pattern. Yet, if planted under proper conditions, of which sufficient warmth is one of the most important, it manifests active powers of a very remarkable kind. It is, as you know, a simple, inert-looking thing. I beg you to accompany me in an attempt to reach a world which, to many, is probably strange, by the help of a bean. My present enterprise has a certain analogy to that of the daring adventurer. The hero, being moved to climb the stalk, discovers that the leafy expanse supports a world composed of the same elements as that below, but yet strangely new and his adventures there, on which I may not dwell, must have completely changed his views of the nature of things though the story, not having been composed by, or for, philosophers, has nothing to say about views. It is a legend of a bean-plant, which grows and grows until it reaches the high heavens and there spreads out into a vast canopy of foliage. But so many of our grave and reverend juniors have been brought up on severer intellectual diet, and perhaps, have become acquainted with fairyland only through primers of comparative mythology, that it may be needful to give an outline of the tale.
