37. ORIGINAL TEXT
This is the land they sought and found. Every
inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and
mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple
invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view
encompassed, every river and lake that promises a plentiful
living and the fruitfulness of commerce, is a hallowed spot to
me.
