Izaak Walton
“No life, my honest Scholar, no life so happy and so pleasant as the life of a well-governed Angler; for when the lawyer is swallowed up with business, and the statesman is preventing or contriving plots, then we sit on cowslip banks, hear the birds sing, and possess ourselves in as much quietness as these silent silver streams, which we now see glide so quietly by us…God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.”
——Izaak Walton
The key-note of which is the nostalgia for a fairer age that had passed away.(pastoral)
“我们坐在长满樱草的河岸，聆听着鸟鸣，惬意如那条波光粼粼的小溪，静静得从我们身边淌过。”
