It lacks the stately and feudal solemnity that enfolds the great houses of England ; but it has a more human and intimate charm than theirs. You may travel for a month in one county, visiting from one small, self-contained colony to another, and you will travel far through the geography of human nature, as well as enjoy an infinite variety of material setting ; but the atmosphere remains the same, wrapping you in its domesticity, isolating you from the world. SOCIAL LIFE IN IRELAND 127 The soft... climate that explains so much of social and economic Ireland comes clinging over the trees, across the lawns, hovering over the high walled gardens ; and if you would see these places when they are most themselves, you must see them in the early autumn, when the roses are seeding and scattering and the garden's more substantial and luxuriant children are thrusting their lambent growths amid the green ruin. The houses themselves are often strange in architecture, full of builders' contrivances and local makeshifts for what was too costly to bring from afar, and when they were new many of them must have been ugly.
