161 21 162 RIVERS AND STREAMS OF ENGLAISfD The same indeed may be said for the beautiful Devonshire streams. They are merely the streams of the North and of Wales disporting themselves in an unexpected quarter. Or, to put it more lucidly, the contrast between the soft low-pitched, bridled landscape, with its gentle streams of the neighbour- ing southern counties and the moors of Devonshire, with the impetuous rivers that they send spouting through the humpy low country, upsets the equili- brium... of people not widely acquainted with their native land, and gives rise to a good deal of ill- instructed gush. Again and again in fiction, on the stage, or in fugitive articles, you find the Devonshire village glibly quoted as the ideal of English rustic architecture and bowery cosiness. As a matter of fact, with the exception of Corn- wall, Devonshire stands easily last in this respect of all the southern and west midland counties, including the rural counties of South Wales. The wanderer by Devon streams other than those on the Dorsetshire side of the county must not expect, save in a few favoured districts, to find the picturesque villages that will confront him every- where on the chalk streams, or by the slow rivers of Warwickshire, Gloucester, or Worcester, or the livelier brooks of Shropshire, Hereford, and THE HAMOAZE, DEVONPORT, FROM MOUNT EDGCUMBE THE RIVERS OF DEVON 163 Monmouth, or even by the mountain streams of Radnor, Brecon, Carmarthen, and rural Glamorgan.
