Show The Peaceful Joy of the River An Ingenious Spaniard says that rivers and tho Inhabitants of tho watery wa-tery element wero made for wise men to contemplate and fools to pass by without consideration And though I will not rank myself in tho number of tho first yet give mo leave to free myself from the last by offering to you n short contemplation first of rivers riv-ers and then of fish concerning which I doubt not but to gIve you many observations that will appear very considerable I am sure they havo appeared so to me and made many an hour pass away more pleasantly as I have sat quietly on a flowery bank by a calm river Isaac Walton |
