You may, perhaps, think it over-bold of me to talk to you in your own language, which, in my mouth, will appear without its native richness, strength, and beauty. You will at once realise that you have before you a man who did not want to come and call for your attention a short time ago, but now is willing to suffer the cruel consciousness of being a poor orator, if only he succeeds, though but partially, in his attempt to give you an idea of one of the aspects of beauty in his own beloved country.
