potent and delicious

i love these little nature clips + narrator they show on TCM between movies. especially ones with big words and baby foxes. if there is anything cuter than a tumbly, tiny, baby fox, i don't know what it is. it may be in black & white only but what a delight... they just don't narrate them like they used to.

"...and all things were imbued with a subtle and delicious vitality."

"alas, the valiant mother would never return. who was to tell them? raindrops fell like tears upon the leaves. land and sky merged in sympathetic mourning. poor little mother. poor little orphan."

"the forest no longer enchanted him. now it was potent–and threatening."

i know foxes don't go to school. but i think i know how he feels. graduation is potent–and threatening."
