And when I recall these vanished scenes, those rushy and flowery meres, with their varied and multitudinous wild bird life the cloud of shining wings, the heart-enlivening wild cries, the joy unspeakable it was to me in those early years I am glad to think I shall never revisit them, that I shall finish my life thousands of miles removed from them, cherishing to the end in my heart the image of a beauty which has vanished from earth.
Did gentlemen of large estates in the country but once taste the exalted pleasure of making the whole neighbourhood happy, and consider how much honest industry they might support, how much misery they might alleviate, and how many daily blessings they might have poured forth upon their heads from hearts overflowing with love, respect and gratitude, almost to adoration, we should not so often see them leave their noble country mansions to repair to noise and folly; nor exchange the heart-enlivening pleasure of making numbers happy, for the beguiling smiles and unmeaning professions of a prime minister.
Never were better arrangements made. People may wander the world around and not find more pleasing, heart-enlivening scenery than England affords scenery more rich or full of fertile spots, or which should make its inhabitants grateful to Heaven for having placed them in such a land.
