Excerpt from Jim and His Soul She had known a woman once who had eleven children, and had found a Bible name for each of them. That was a long while ago, however, when she had lived in the country, where Bibles are sometimes found. There were no Bibles in Para dise Street. She closed her eyes and thought quietly, and a surprising vision slid under the closed eyelids. She saw cornfields, bordered by hedges in which blackberries grew thick, and a little river with brown pebbles, and tall elm-trees, and cresting the hill, like plumes, a plantation of tasselled larches. She heard a lark singing, and the little river seemed to sing also as it flowed. The sky was so big that it frightened her, and it was so blue you seemed to look right into it, and through it, and yet never came to the end. Then she remembered the woman with the biblical chil dren again, and recollected that when the eleventh was born it took a week to find a name, and folks said they had given the boy a girl's name after all. It was clear that the Bible was not much good for naming children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
