Not a hedge-bank but has its hundred species of plants, each different and each beautiful; and when you tire of them if you ever can tire a trip into the meadows by the Thames, with the rich vegetation of their dikes, floating flower-beds of every hue, will bring you as it were into a new world, new forms, new colours, new delight.

The amount of unclaimed land was so large in Flanders that the first new-comer was allowed to till it.
Against the systematic infidelity which was more and more creeping over the eighteenth century, the Christian faith alone, with all its forces, could fight and triumph.
