...Catholic countries men go for a time into retreat from the importunate dissonances of life to collect their better selves again by communion with things that are heavenly, and therefore eternal, so this Chartreuse of Wordsworth, dedicated to the Genius of Solitude, will allure to its imperturbable calm the finer natures and the more highly tempered intellects of every generation, so long as a man has any intuition of what is most sacred in his own emotions and sympathies, or of whatever in outward nature is most capable of awakening them and making them operative, whether to console or strengthen...

...such manners as there birds assumed - such calm repose, and dignity in the presence of strangers, such indifference to the menace alike of small dog and "mucker," such unbird like fearlessness had never before been seen. They sat on the snow under the trees just back of University Hall, eating the seeds that had fallen, permitted the curiours to approach within a yard or two without manifesting the slig test timidity. "What makes them so tame?" everyone asked...
