Excerpt from Milly and Olly: Or a Holiday Among the Mountains Thought still have their home, and bring their benediction to the passers-by. On the lawns and by the streams of Loughrigg, the children of to-day find bliss and fairyland, as did their elders before them. The parrot, alas! Is gone where parrots may; but amid the voices that breathe around F ox How the voices Of seventy years - his mimic speech is still re membered by the children who teased and loved him. For love, while love lasts, gives life to all things small and great; and in those who have once felt it, the love of the Fairfield valley, of the grey stone house that fronts the fells, and Of them that dwell, and have dwelt therein, is not Time's fool.
