Summary: "A Rambler's Lease" by Bradford Torrey is a contemplative nature essay written in the late 19th century. The work immerses readers in the author's reflections on his connection to the land, exploring themes of property, nature, and the beauty of rural surroundings. Through the narrative, Torrey reveals his deep appreciation for the simplicity and richness of the natural world. The opening of the book introduces the idea of "a rambler's lease," as the author reflects on his fondness for the woods and fields that he explores, even if he does not technically own them. He muses on the meaning of land ownership and taxes, experiencing a sense of pride and permanence in his connection to the land. The opening also emphasizes the joy of wandering through nature, appreciating the serene beauty of the landscape, and contemplating life's deeper meanings while strolling through familiar terrains. Through vivid descriptions, Torrey invites readers to share in his melancholic yet joyous relationship with the earth as he contemplates the fragility and resilience of nature.
