Excerpt from Dogs, Birds and Others: Natural History Letters From "the Spectator"; Chosen, With an Introduction and Notes
Part of the pleasure of these letters is in their freedom from professionalism, from the grand air, from a dull literary foppishness, and any advertising of an escape from the ordinary. I was reading some old country. Letters published about eighty years ago, and one of them began, Cobbett-wise, Let those rocks alone, boy - real literary music. Many of these letters are in this transparent manner, plain tales of things seen, and no nonsense. Having something definite and interesting to share with others less fortunate, they tell it out and achieve style without a thought of it, as the artist achieves personality by losing it in the absorption of his subject Lose that the lost thou may'st receive, which is sound literary criticism.
