FLASHES ONLY
LANDSCAPES NOT SEEN. The motor-car goes so fast and (what is psychologically more important) the people who drive it are so eaten up with speed that they hardly see a landscape at all, says Mr Hilaire Belloc in writing of some of the world’s great views. Only those very wise ones who go slowly (and destroy their machinery by an excess of huch leisure) have some idea of what a landscape seen from a road may be. Most modern travellers can remember flashes rather than landscapes. The vision is hardly apparent when it .is already gone. It does not remain and take root. It does not become a companion. It does! not remain an enduring part of personality. ;
