To Be A Good Draftsman Was To

Almost Every Day, Instead Of Going To School When I Ought To Have Gone, I Usually Made For The Fields, Where I Spent The Day.

I Can Scarcely Manage To Scribble A Tolerable English Letter. I Know That I Am Not A Scholar, But Meantime I Am Aware That No Man Living Knows Better Than I Do The Habits Of Our Birds.

All Trembling, I Reached The Falls Of Niagara, And Oh, What A Scene! My Blood Shudders Still, Although I Am Not A Coward, At The Grandeur Of The Creators Power; And I Gazed Motionless On This New Display Of The Irresistible Force Of One Of His Elements.

Never Give Up Listening To The Sounds Of Birds.

One Day I Caught Four Dolphins, How Much I Have Gazed At These Beautiful Creatures... As They Changed Their Hue In Twenty Varieties Of Richest Arrangement Of Tints.
