These meditative verses, one for each week of the year, help to awaken a feeling of ourselves within nature, and through this not only stimulating a sensitivity to the inner qualities of nature but also awakening a fundamental awareness of our self.

This budget-priced pocket version features Owen Barfield’s pioneering translation -‘paraphrased for an English ear’ – based on more than 50 years of studying the text. As Barfield argues, no simple translation can convey the ‘thrust’ of the verses. In his words: ‘It is this quality which the version that follows especially aims to suggest – at the expense, where necessary, of close reproduction.’

This edition is offered in a convenient pocket size format which fits easily in a handbag or breast pocket.
