And, indeed, one could not conceive a more appalling sort ofblank idiocy than the condition of a man who could not tell one thingfrom another in any department of life whatever. We would ratherchange lives with a jelly-fish than with such a man. This luxury ofvariety was not meant to be ignored. We throw ourselves into it withexhilaration as a swimmer plunges into the sea. There are few forms ofhappiness I know which are more enviable than that of those who haveeyes for birds and flowers. How t...hey rejoice on learning that, according to one theory, there are a hundred and three differentspecies of brambles to be found in these islands! They would not havethem fewer by a single one. It is extraordinarily pleasant even forone who is mainly ignorant of the flowers and their families to comeon two or three varieties of one flower in the course of a countrywalk. As a boy, he is excited by the difference between the pin-headedand the thrum-headed primrose. As he grows older, he scans theroadside for little peeping things that to a lazy eye seem as likeeach other as two peas--the dove's foot geranium, the round-leavedgeranium and the lesser wild geranium.
