‘Let 2 persons leave of absence for a walk; the i a proficient sketcher, the other having no sense of savour of the kind. Let them larn downward a light-green lane. There volition endure a keen departure inwards the scene equally perceived yesteryear the 2 individuals. The i volition run across a lane as well as trees; he volition perceive the trees to endure green, though he volition intend nix near it; he volition run across that the Sun shines, as well as that it has a cheerful effect; as well as that’s all! But what volition the sketcher see? His optic is accustomed to search into the crusade of beauty, as well as penetrate the minutest parts of loveliness. He looks up, as well as observes how the showery as well as subdivided sunshine comes sprinkled downward amid the gleaming leaves overhead, till the air is filled alongside the emerald light. He volition run across hither as well as at that spot a bough emerging from the veil of leaves, he volition run across the precious rock brightness of the emerald moss as well as the variegated as well as fantastic lichens, white as well as blue, imperial as well as red, all mellowed as well as mingled into a unmarried garment of beauty. Then come upwards the cavernous trunks as well as the twisted roots that grasp alongside their snake-like coils at the steep bank, whose turfy gradient is inlaid alongside flowers of a M dyes. Is non this worth seeing? Yet if y'all are non a sketcher y'all volition transcend along the light-green lane, as well as when y'all come upwards habitation again, convey nix to nation or to intend near it, exactly that yo u went downward such as well as such a lane.
John Ruskin, quoted inwards The Art of Travel yesteryear Alain de Botton
