The Thames (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The ThamesYet for one Who sees the Thames thus prosaic ally, a hundred see it in a gayer aspect. To many a man it is always summer there, for the river knows him not When the chill grey days draw in. He sees gay houseboats in new coats of paint, decorated With scarlet geraniums and other gaudy plants. He associates the river with a jolly good time with a carefully chosen house party, with amateur tea-making and an absence of care. Nowhere else is one so free to laze without the rebuke even of one's own occasionally too zealous conscience.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
