See the quote on the Home Page herein by John Buchan. I think it came from one or the other of his memoirs: "Pilgrim's Way." Or his uncompleted memoir "Pilgrim's Rest," sadly interrupted by his untimely death. There is fine fishing writing in both. It was also published in the USA as "Memory Hold-The-Door." You can find it on www.abebooks.com. I highly recommend it. But be forewarned; it is not a fly fishing book.
