Fox's Earth to Mountain Tarn 



What the end will be, when wild life will come 

 to something like its old balance, were hard to 

 say. If the modern movement is allowed to 

 spend itself, then we must just wait to see how 

 much it takes and how little it leaves. But some 

 restraint may be exercised. A spirit of fair play, 

 a desire to give the birds they are hunting out a 

 chance, may awaken, not too late. A line may 

 be drawn from the outside. Unless, as a people, 

 we adopt his lordship's philosophy that golf pays, 

 and we cannot afford links for birds to breed on. 

 " I cannot see that terns are of any use."
