Chapter 1: "Description of Farmer Oak
-
An lncident,,
WHEN Farmer Oak smiled , the corners of his mouth
spread till th ey were within an
; Llll important distance of hi s ears, his eyes
were reduced to chi nks, and diverging
wrinkles appeared round them, extending upon his
countena nce like the rays in a
, rudimentary sketch of the rising sun.
His Christian name was Gabriel, and on working days
he was a young man of sound
judgment, easy motions, proper dress,
and general g ood character. On Sund ays he
was a man of m isty views, rather given to postponing,
and ham pered by his best
clothes and u mbrella: upon the whole, one who felt
himself to occupy m orally that
vast middle space of Laodicean neutral ity which lay
between the Commun ion people
of the parish and the drunken section, that is, he
went to chu rch, but yawned privately by the time the con gregation reached the
Nicene creed, and thought of what
there would be for dinner when he meant to be
listen lng to the sermon. Or, to state
his character as it stood in the scale of public optnton,
when his friends and critics
were in tantrums, he was considered rather a bad
man; when they were pleased, he
was rather a good man; when they were neith er, he
was a man whose moral colour
was a kind of pepper-and-salt mixtu re.
Since he lived six times as man y working-d ays
as Sundays, Oak,s ap pearance in his
old clothes was most peculiarly his own
the mental picture formed by his
neighbours in imagining him being always d ressed
in that way. He wore a lowcrowned felt hat, spread out at the base by tight jam
ming upon the head for secu rity
in high winds, and a coat like Dr. Johnson's; his
lower extremities being encased in
ordinary leather I eggings and boots emphatically
large, afford ing to each foot a
roomy apartment so constructed that any wearer
might stand in a river all day long
, and know nothing of damp - their maker being a conscientious
man who endeavoured to compensate for any weakness in his cut
by unstinted dimension and solidity
Mr. Oak carried a bout him, by way of watch, wh
at may be called a small silver clock;
in other words, it was a watch as to shape and
intention, and a small cl ock as to size.
This instrument be ing several years older than
Oak's grandfather, had the peculiarity
of going either too fast or not at all. The smaller
of its hands, too, occasiona lly slipped
round on the p ivot, and thus, though the minutes
were told with precis ion, nobod
v
could be quite certain of the hour th ey belonged
to. The stopping peculi arity of his
watch Oak remedied by thumps and shakes,
and he escaped any evil consequences
from the other two defects by constant compari
sons with and obse rvations of the sun
and stars, and by pressing his face close to the glass
of his ne ighbours' windows, till
he could d iscern the hour marked by the green- faced
timekee pers within..lt may be
mentioned that Oak's fob bein g difficult of access,
by reason of its somewhat h igh
situation in the waistband of h is trousers (which also
lay at a remote height under his
waistcoat), the watch was as a necessity pulled out
by throwi ng the body to one side
compressing the mouth and face to a mere mass
of ruddy flesh on account of the
exertion required , and drawing up the watch by its
chain, like a buckei from a well

SnlouE: Jokanaan, I am amorous of thy body! Thy body is white like the lilies of a field that the
mower hath never mowed. Thy body is white like the snows that lie on the mountains, like
the
snows that lie on the mountains of Judea, and come down into the valleys, The roses in
the
garden of the Queen of Arabia are not so white as thy body. Neither the
roses in the garden of

I am enamoured, Jokanaan. Thy hair is like clusters of grapes, like the clusters of black grapes
that hang from the vine-trees of Edom in the land of the Edomites. Thy hair is like the cedars
of
Lebanon, like the great cedars of Lebanon that give their shade to the lions and to the robbers
who would hide themselves by day" The long black nights, when the moon hides her face, when
the stars are afraid, are not so black. The silence that dwells in the forest is not so black. There
is nothing in the world so black as thy hair. . . . Let me touch thy hair.
JoxnruaAru: Back, daughter of Sodom! Touch me not. Profane not the ternple of the Lord God.
Thy hair is horrible. lt is covered with mire and dust. lt is like a crown of thorns which

trumpets, that herald the approach of kings, and make afraid the enemy; are not so red. Thy
mouth is redder than the feet of those who tread the wine in the wine-press. Thy mouth is
redder than the feet of the doves who haunt the temples and are fed by the priests. lt is redder
than the feet of him who cometh from a forest where he hath slain a lion, and seen gilded tigers.
Thy mouth is like a branch of coral that fishers have found in the twilight of the sea, the coral
that they keep for the kings . . .

Moab, the vermilion that the kings take from them. lt is like the bow of the King of the Persians,
that is painted with vermilion, and is tipped with coral. There is nothing in the world so red as thy
