Lewie an' Ailsie, in deep black, a settled sorrow i' the face o' each, sat wi' clasped hands by a sma' mound o' turf starred ower wi' gowans. Forbye a 'Pearl, ' Margaret, ye ken, stands for a 'gowan;' an' sae it seemed that the innocent flowers came thickest where sweet wee Margaret slept. It maun hae been o' their ain choosin', for nought had Ailsie planted or sown. Naething had she to gie her darlin's grave, but tears, aye tears! "They say that greetin' saftens grief, an' whyles it may; but mony a woman kens the meanin' o' these words, art agony o' tears. "Ailsie wasna greetin' noo, the tears were just brimmin' ower; but they were maistly ever sae--aye gatherin', puir lassie, in her een. 'Twas only in her dreams that Ailsie saw aught clearly, as in ither days; for, when awake, the rain clouds o' sorrow aye happit her about. But the Lord was very pitifu', an' every nicht the mither saw her bairn. Sae thro' the lang, lang day she ga'ed about her wark, aye wearyin' for her Margaret's angel-face, which, when nicht came an' the warld was hushed to rest, she then was sure in her glad dreams to see! "I kent by Ailsie's tremblin' hand she'd something on her mind to say. Ye may be sure, she'd but to speak for Lewis to agree--he was a changed man. The troubled waters o' yon fearfu' nicht had been blessed to him; an' Ailsie aye thocht it was the angel that went down into them to fetch away the soul o' her little Margaret that had gied them the power to heal her husband o' his sair disease! "But Ailsie lingered still in what she was gaun to say. She shivered as she thocht o' the unhealed spot in her ain moe's heart, that she maun noo lay her saft...

"In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coral specimens featured prominently in cabinets of curiosity, and in literary work by writers from Herman Melville to Lydia Huntley Sigourney. Children sang of coral in popular songs. Women, both free and enslaved, wore coral beads. Reef samples drew crowds to galleries and museums. And coral's unique qualities as animal, vegetable, and mineral inspired countless Americans to praise the "coral insect" for creating what one author called "the most wonder-provoking of all natural objects." In this account of coral's history as material and metaphor, Michele Navakas argues that coral shaped the nation's thinking and became deeply entwined with the histories of slavery, wage labor, and women's reproductive and domestic work. European slave traders used red coral to purchase persons along the coast of West Africa from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries, while enslaved people performed the labor that brought raw coral from Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Pacific waters to European naturalists and coral traders. In the nineteenth-century U.S., Black and white women frequently compared their bodies to reef-building polyps that silently and continually produced new beings and forged intergenerational bonds. The book traces the global flows of labor, production, manufacture, and trade that brought coral into the daily lives of nineteenth-century Americans, and discusses the cultural traditions surrounding coral in four major geographic regions-Africa, the Pacific, the Caribbean, and Europe-that shaped early American understandings of coral. It then examines works of literature and of natural history by a cross-section of U.S. authors who used the analogy of coral to describe a system in which the labors of each individual enrich all, but also as a body that grows only by silently entombing the living bodies of its most essential workers. A coda addresses the value of historically oriented environmental humanities scholarship at a time of climate crisis"--
