" Various as beauteous. Nature, is thy face;
. . . . all th at grows, has grace.
All are appropriate. Bog and marsh and fen
Are only poor to undiscerning men.
Here may the nice and curious eye explore
How Nature’s hand adorns the rushy moor ;
Beauties are these th a t from the view retire,
B ut will repay th ’ attention they require.”
Cbabbe’s Lovers’ Journey.
“ J ’ai pensé qu’il me serait plus facile de descendre ensuite du
to u t à la partie, que de monter de la pai tîe au tout. C’est un axiome
algébrique qui veut que l’on procède du connu à l’inconnu, et non
de l’inconnu au connu.”—Comii de Monte Cristo, chap. xlvii.
