Summary "Under the Maples" by John Burroughs is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work reflects the author's deep appreciation for nature, particularly focusing on his observations in the Catskills and the vibrant life around the maple trees. It captures the essence of the changing seasons and explores the interconnectedness of life in the natural world. At the start of the book, Burroughs muses on the beauty of falling leaves and the transformation they undergo, granting them a warm and resplendent appearance before they fall. He engages readers with poetic imagery, inviting them to appreciate the intricate details of nature, such as the vitality of trees, the changing seasons, and the interconnectedness of life. The opening also introduces themes of nostalgia and longing for home, as Burroughs reflects on his love for the maples and the memories associated with his rural upbringing.
