Strona 214 - For when we're there, although 'tis fair, 'Twill be another Yarrow. " If Care with freezing years should come, And wandering seem but folly, — Should we be loth to stir from home, And yet be melancholy ; Should life be dull, and spirits low, 'Twill soothe us in our sorrow, That earth has something yet to show, The bonny Holms of Yarrow !" YARROW VISITED, SEPTEMBER, 1814.
Strona 108 - Now was excited his delight in rural pleasures and his ambition of rural elegance; he began from this time to point his prospects, to diversify his surface, to entangle his walks, and to wind his waters, which he did with such judgment and such fancy as made his little domain the envy of the great and the admiration of the skilful; a place to be visited by travellers and copied by designers.
