"The most important principle, perhaps, in life, is to have a pursuit,
a useful one if possible, and at all events an innocent one.
Though I do not expect, like our arch-patriarch Walton, to number
ninety years and past, yet I hope, as long as I can enjoy, in a vernal day,
the warmth and heat of the sunshine, still to haunt the streams.
SIR H. DAVY.
