Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore
·
Charles Kingsley

Now
I
will
not
be
so
rude
as
to
apply
to
you
the
old
hymn-distich
about
one
who
“—finds
some
mischief
still
For
idle
hands
to
do:”
but
does
it
not
seem
to
you,
that
there
must
surely
be
many
a
thing
worth
looking
at
earnestly,
and
thinking
over
earnestly,
in
a
world
like
this,
about
the
making
of
the
least
part
whereof
God
has
employed
ages
and
ages,
further
back
than
wisdom
can
guess
or
imagination
picture,
and
upholds
that
least
part
every
moment
by
laws
and
forces
so
complex
and
so
wonderful,
that
science,
when
it
tries
to
fathom
them,
can
only
learn
how
little
it
can
learn?
And
does
it
not
seem
to
you
that
six
weeks’
rest,
free
from
the
cares
of
town
business
and
the
whirlwind
of
town
pleasure,
could
not
be
better
spent
than
in
examining
those
wonders
a
little,
instead
of
wandering
up
and
down
like
the
many,
still
wrapt
up
each
in
his
little
world
of
vanity
and
self-interest,
unconscious
of
what
and
where
they
really
are,
as
they
gaze
lazily
around
at
earth
and
sea
and
sky,
and
have
“No
speculation
in
those
eyes
Which
they
do
glare
withal”?
Why
not,
then,
try
to
discover
a
few
of
the
Wonders
of
the
Shore?
For
wonders
there
are
there
around
you
at
every
step,
stranger
than
ever
opium-eater
dreamed,
and
yet
to
be
seen
at
no
greater
expense
than
a
very
little
time
and
trouble.
