Excerpt from Angling
Juices in all its fibres. The same nameless influence touches the angler. His blood moves; he has no more choice than the budding tree. He must see his fly-books. Every article of his outfit - creel, hob nail, or rod has its charm to rouse memory or quicken imagination; but in the book is hidden the subtlest spell of all. Move but a fly from its folds, and up swarm the recollections and the dreams - recollections of a past in which all joy is fresh, all disappointment forgotten; dreams of a future filled much more.
