HAVING HEARD IT ONE'S FANCY IS GONE AND EVERMORE DEPARTED TO SOME COLOURED PEBBLE AGLEAM IN A RURAL BROOK AND ALL THAT LONDON CAN OFFER IS SWEPT FROM ONE'S MIND LIKE SOME SUDDENLY SMITTEN METROPOLITAN GOLIATH
leep the birds began to sing. Never was greater splendour or a more famous hall. When the queens went away through the curtained door with all their diadems, it was as though the stars should arise in their stations and troop together to the West at sunrise. And only the other day I found a stone that had undoubtedly been a part of Zaccarath, it was three inches long and an inch broad; I saw the edge of it uncovered by the sand. I believe that only three other pieces have been found like it. THE FIELD When one has seen Spring's blossom fall in London, and Summer appear and ripen and decay, as it does early in cities, and one is in London still, then, at some moment or another, the country places lift their flowery heads and call to one with an urgent, masterful clearness, upland behind upland in the twilight like to some heavenly choir arising rank on rank to call a drunkard from his gambling-hell. No volume of traffic can drown the sound of it, no lure of London can weaken its appeal.
