" Like a virgin goddess in a primeval world, 

 Canada still walks in unconscious beauty 

 among her golden woods and along the 

 margin of her streams, catching but broken 

 glances of her radiant majesty, as mirrored 

 on their surface, and scarcely dreams as 

 yet of the glorious future awaiting her in 

 the Olympus of nations. — (From Lord 

 Dufferin's speach at Belfast, 11th June, 

 1872.)
