ANCIENT AND ALOOF
Seeing them for the first time you are more impressed
with their beauty than their size, their grandeur being in great part
invisible. . . . Perfect specimens, unhurt by running fires or
lightning, are singularly regular and symmetrical in general form,
though not in the least conventionalized, for they show extraordinary
variety in the unity and harmony of their general outline. . . . Except
in picturesque old age, after being struck by lightning or broken by
thousands of snow-storms, the regularity of forms is one of their most
distinguishing characteristics. Another is the simple beauty of the trunk and its
great thickness as compared with its height and the width of the
branches, which makes them look more like finely modeled and sculptured
architectural columns than the stems of trees, while the great limbs
look like rafters, supporting the magnificent dome-head. But though so
consummately beautiful, the big tree always seems unfamiliar, with
peculiar physiognomy, awfully solemn and earnest; yet with all its
strangeness it impresses us as being more at home than any of its
neighbors, holding the best right to the ground as the oldest, strongest
inhabitant. One soon becomes acquainted with new species of pine and fir
and spruce as with friendly people, shaking their outstretched branches
like shaking hands and fondling their little ones, while the venerable
aboriginal sequoia, ancient of other days, keeps you at a distance,
looking as strange in aspect and behavior among its neighbor trees as
would the mastodon among the homely bears and deers.
