...nature indifferently copied is far superior to the best idealities Picture Quote #1

Look at that mallard as he floats on the lake; see his elevated head glittering with emerald green, his amber eyes glancing in the light! Even at this distance, he has marked you, and suspects that you bear no goodwill towards him, for he sees that you have a gun, and he has many a time been frightened by its report, or that of some other. The wary bird draws his feet under his body, springs upon then, opens his wings, and with loud quacks bids you farewell Picture Quote #1

Hunting, fishing, drawing, and music occupied my every moment. Cares I knew not, and cared naught about them Picture Quote #1

In my deepest troubles, I frequently would wrench myself from the persons around me and retire to some secluded part of our noble forests Picture Quote #1

I cannot write at all, but if I could how could I make a little book, when I have seen enough to make a dozen large books? I will not write at all Picture Quote #1

But hopes are shy birds flying at a great distance, seldom reached by the best of guns Picture Quote #1
