OF RICHARD JEFFERIES 



LES MIS£RABLES who have to 

 write like myself must put up 

 » with anything, and be thankful 

 for permission to exist ; but people with 

 mighty incomes from tea, or crockery- 

 ware, or mud, or bricks and mortar, — 

 why on earth these happy and favoured 

 mortals do not live like the gods passes 

 understanding. — ' Amaryllis at the Fair.' 



I AM not a Roman Catholic ; but I 

 must confess that if I could be 

 assured any particular piece of 

 wood had really formed a part of the 

 Cross, I should think it the most valuable 

 thing in the world, to which Koh-i-noors 

 would be mud. 



I am a pagan, and think the heart and 

 soul above crowns. — 'Amaryllis at the 

 Fair.' 



T is possible to think till you cannot 

 act.—' Amaryllis at the Fair/
