“One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach,’’ in Gift From the Sea (1955)
— Anne Morrow Lindbergh (1906-2001), best-selling essayist/author, some of whose writings presaged the Green Movement, and aviator. She was wife of aviator, inventor, military officer, Nazi sympathizer (like her for a time) and womanizing (and with simultaneous-multiple families) Charles Lindbergh. She spent her final years living near her daughter Reeve, an author herself, in the northern Vermont village of Passumpsic, part of the town of Barnet. Before then she and her husband lived off and on in Darien, Conn. (“Aryans from Darien’’), in a rich section on Long Island Sound.
