STORY
Frank 3
Chapter 4
Natural philosophy and chemistry became my fixation
The acquaintance of men and science
Physiognomy
Gominy
Waldmann was a true friend
Facile Facial
I’d be up all night
I progressed rather quickly
I didn’t visit home in Geneva for 2 years
The enticements of science
Continual Food for Discovery and Wonder
Whence did the principle of light and proceed?
I didn’t want to be restrained by cowardice and carelessness
Pursuing physiology
To pursue the study of life, I need to know about the Big Farm
My father didn’t want me to know about any autumnal activities
I didn’t have any sense of afterlife
Studying what goes on under the leaves
The wonders of compost
The honest vision of a genius
Bestowing animation upon lifeless leaves
I won’t tell you about the secret I learned
Total Futility and Infallible MIsery
Acquiring knowledge is not a good idea
How should I use this matter?
I didn’t have a receptacle for bestowing animation
I began the creation of a friend
I decided to make a Giant Leaf Friend
The Greatest Leaf Ever Made
Leaf Based Being
Being Based Leaf
A Leaf and a Friend
And, of course, the biggest
I would break through the bounds and pour a torrent of light into the dark world
Can I reverse how leaves lose their colors?
I failed on the very brink of certainty
Dabbling Along the Unhollow Dance of Leaves
Exploring in Compost
My workshop of leafy creation
I was leaf shaping, leaf pressing, leaf collecting, and much more
The touch of a leaf, not another human
My eyes were insensible to the charms of human nature
I forgot the friends of my youth
If I had defer to my family, nothing would get done
My father made no reproach in his letters
Someone should have reproached me
My enthusiasm is checked by anxiety
The fall of the leaves startled me as the years passed
I shunned my neighbors and passersby
The energy of my pursuit alone energized me
A Dreary Night in November
I collected the instruments of Leaf Life around me
I saw some sweet, soft eyes in the pile of leaves
A Friend of Leaves
Beautiful Leaf Features
He’s beautiful!
A leafy version of me
I’ve said ardor many times
Work harder with ardor
The leaves were greener and more golden
I couldn’t endure this and I rushed out
Seeking a few minutes of forgetfulness
I dreamt of Elizabeth but she turned into leaves!
Leafy Nightmares
My loves are turning into leaves!
I beheld my miserable leaf based being
Waving, trying to speak
I escaped to the courtyard
A thing that even Dante couldn’t conceive
Morning comes
I walk to avoid the Leaf Wretch
Quoting from Coleridge
Henry Clervall shows up by carriage!
Walking toward my college
Clervall had to convince his father that he wouldn’t be a bookkeeper
Clervall’s father allowed him to pursue knowledge
Frank’s family misses him
Clervall noted how ill I look
We return to my place but my Leaf Guest is gone!
What joy, he’s gone!
Clervall is startled by my manic laughter
I fainted
A nervous fever that confined me for several months
Clervall didn’t tell my family about this and took care of me
Sometimes I’d accidentally call Henry Leafy
I slowly recovered with many relapses
Joy and affection revive in my bosom
Science-Based Passion (SBP)
Clervall just wants me to get better
Clervall wants me to write to my family
A letter from Elizabeth awaits…
