The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft
·
George Gissing
7
The
question
of
arrangement
had
to
be
considered;
I
did
not
like
to
offer
a
mere
incondite
miscellany.
To
supply
each
of
the
disconnected
passages
with
a
title,
or
even
to
group
them
under
subject
headings,
would
have
interfered
with
the
spontaneity
which,
above
all,
I
wished
to
preserve.
In
reading
through
the
matter
I
had
selected,
it
struck
me
how
often
the
aspects
of
nature
were
referred
to,
and
how
suitable
many
of
the
reflections
were
to
the
month
with
which
they
were
dated.
Ryecroft,
I
knew,
had
ever
been
much
influenced
by
the
mood
of
the
sky,
and
by
the
procession
of
the
year.
So
I
hit
upon
the
thought
of
dividing
the
little
book
into
four
chapters,
named
after
the
seasons.
Like
all
classifications,
it
is
imperfect,
but
'twill
serve.
