VERSION
A rapid walker poetically and humorously minded gathers multitudes of images on his way.
And rain, the heaviest you can meet, is a lively companion when the resolute pacer scorns
discomfort of wet clothes and squealing boots. South-western rain-clouds, too, are never long
sullen: they enfold and will have the earth in a good strong glut of the kissing overflow; then,
as a hawk with feathers on his beak of the bird in his claw lifts head, they rise and take veiled
feature in long climbing watery lines: at any moment they may break the veil and show soft
upper cloud, show sun on it, show sky, green near the verge they spring from, of the green of
grass in early dew; or, along a travelling sweep that rolls asunder overhead, heaven's laughter
of purest blue among titanic white shoulders: it may mean fair smiling for awhile, or be the
lightest interlude; but the water lines, and the drifting, the chasing, the upsoaring, all in a
shadowy fingering of form, and the animation of the leaves of the trees pointing them on, the
bending of the tree-tops, the snapping of branches, and the hurrahings of the stubborn hedge
at wrestle with the flaws, yielding but a leaf at most, and that on a fling, make a glory of
contest and wildness without aid of colour to inflame the man who is at home in them from
old association on road, heath, and mountain. Let him be drenched, his heart will sing. And
thou, trim cockney, that jeerest, consider thyself, to whom it may occur to be out in such a
scene, and with what steps of a nervous dancing-master it would be thine to play the hunted
rat of the elements, for the preservation of the one imagined dry spot about thee, somewhere
on thy luckless person! The taking of rain and sun alike befits men of our climate, and he who
would have the secret of a strengthening intoxication must court the clouds of the South-west
with a lover's blood.

Vernon's happy recklessness was dashed by fears for Miss Middleton. Apart from those fears,
he had the pleasure of a gull wheeling among foam-streaks of the wave. He supposed the
Swiss and Tyrol Alps to have hidden their heads from him for many a day to come, and the
springing and chiming Southwest was the next best thing.
George Meredith,
The Egoist
, 1879.
