The Beanty of Britain
J.B.Prestley
We live in one of the most beautiful islands in the world.This is a fact we are always forgetting.When beautiful islands are mentioned we think of Trinidad and Tahiti.These are fine, romantic places,but they are not really as exquisitely beautiful as our own Britain.Before the mines and fatories came; and long before,we went from bad to worse with our arterial roads and petrol sations and horrible brick
bungalows, this coutry must have been an enchantment, Even now, after we have been bust for so long flinging mud at this fair pale face,the enchantment still remains, Sometimes I doubt if we deserve to possess it .There can be few parts of the world in which commercial greed and public indifference have combined to do more damage than they have here. The process continues.It is still too often assumed that any enterprising fellow after quick profits has a perfect right to destroy a loveliness that is the heritage of the whole community.
The beauty of our country is as hard to define as it is easy to enjoy.Remembering other and larger countries we see at once that one of its charms is that it is immensely varied within a small compass. We have here no vast mountain ranges, no illimitable plains. But we have superb variety. A great deal of everythins is packed into little space. I suspect that we are always, faintly conscious of the fact that this is a smallish island, whith the sea always round the corner. We know that everything has to be neatly packer into a small space,Nature, we feel ,has carefully adjusted things mountains, plans, rivers, lakes—to the scale of the island itself. Amountain 12,000 feet high would be a horrible monster here, as wrong as a plain 400 miles long, a river as broad as the Mississippi. Though the gaographical features of this island are comparatively small, and there is astonishing variety almost everywhere, that does not mean that our mountains are not mountains, our plains not plains.
My own favourite country, perhaps because I know it as a boy ,is that of the Yorkshire Dales. A day’s walk among them will give you almost everything fit to be seen on this earth. Within a few hours, you have enjoyed the green valleys, with their rivers, fine old bridges, pleasant villages, hanging woods, smooth fields, and then the moorland splpes,with their rushing streams, stone walls, salty winds and crying curlews, white farmhouses, and then the lonely heights which seem to be miles above the ordinary world, and moorland tracks as remote, it seems, as trails in Mongolia.
We have greater resources at our command tha our ancestors had,and we are more impatient than they were. Thanks to our new resources, we are better able to ruin the countryside and even the towns, than our fathers were, but on the other hand we are far more alive to the consequences of such ruin than they were.
Our children and their children after them must live in a beautiful country. It must be a country happily compromising between Nature and Man, blending what was best worth retaining rom the past with what best represents the spririt of our own age, a country as rich in noble towns as it is in trees, birds, and wild flowers.。
