国家的面貌是我们拥有的最重要的历史文件。在英格兰的地图上--“那奇妙的重写本”--写着许多英国历史：用泥土和石头、河岸和沟渠、树叶和庄稼的字母写着。就像每一张地图一样，上面的文字并不是跑步的人可以读到的。它需要耐心去发现，需要知识去解读，需要洞察力，有时甚至需要天才去解释。但写作就在那里，其他一切都等待着读者的能力。
The face of the country is the most important historical document that we possess. Upon the map of England-‘ that marvellous palimpsest ’—is written much of English history : written in letters of earth and stone, of bank and ditch, of foliage and crop. As is the case with every map, the writing is not such as he that runs may read. It needs patience to discover, knowledge to decipher, insight, sometimes amounting to genius, to interpret. But the writing is there, all else awaits the competence of the reader.
