Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bypaths and Cross-Roads To see England, to know in the least the heart of the country we are so proud to call our own, it is necessary to leave the beaten track entirely, and, careless of main roads and railways, plunge into any bypath that may look appealingly at us, and make our way into that dim mysterious land that is so near us, and yet might be non-existent for all that the generality of folks know of its existence. Once away from the dust and turmoil of the highway, that which we discover is merely a question of eyesight: naturally some people would perceive little more than they do driving or walking; and simply using the road as a means to get from one place to another as fast as may be; but to those to whom every flower, every bird, has some especial message; the fields and hamlets, the brooks and winding lanes, have all so much to say, so much to show; that we almost long for the microscopic eye of a fly, to note each atom of life, each wonderful fluctuation of colour, and to make ourselves thoroughly conversant with every subject in at least one small corner of Nature´s Kingdom.
