Excerpt from The Lure of WashingtonRising and leaping: sinking and creeping, Swelling and sweeping, showering and springing, A sight to delight in.Every resident has a favorite street of serried elms or maples or western planes, the green luxuriance of which obliterates incongruous bits of urban ugliness, Annihilating all that's made To a green thought in a green shade.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
