Cultural Development Linne 265
But how short is that period ! At the age of seven
he was taken from home, from his parents and his
dear friends, the flowers, and sent to school in Vexio.
Carl von LinnS.
Here, away from his dear ones, he lived a stranger,
all by himself. The school room was dark and cold
and noisy. But he enjoyed the leisure moments when
he could be among the flowers and plants and learn
their names. But nature studies were then regarded
as useless, affording neither honor nor bread.
A History of Sweden. 18.
