"How sweet and beautiful is every place & I visit my old haunts with renewed delight…nothing can exceed the beautiful green of the meadows which are beginning to fill with buttercups & various flowers – the birds are singing from morning trill night but most of all the skylarks – How delightful is the Country."
- John Constable, in a letter to his wife, 20 April 1821
