"'I rise in the morning with the sun, and I go off to a wood of mine which I am having cut down, where I stop for two hours to see what was done the day before and to talk to the woodcutters who always have some trouble on hand either among themselves or with their neighbours . . . Leaving the wood I go to a spring and thence to some bird-traps of mine. I have a book with me, Dante or Petrarch of one of the minor poets, Tibullus, Ovid or the like. I read about their amorous passions and their loves, I remember my own, and dwell on these thoughts for a while. Then I go on to the road and into the tavern." - p. 151. .
