... just stop and look out of the window.
Consult the genius of the place in all;
That tells the waters or to rise, or fall;
Or helps th'ambitious hill the heav'ns to scale,
Or scoops in circling theatres the vale;
Calls in the country, catches opening glades,
Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades,
Now breaks, or now directs, th'intending lines;
Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs.
Alexander Pope on the Genius Loci.
For a while.
Your writing puts me in a sort of dream state. Thank you so much.
