Excerpt from The Secret Woman Dartmoor is an embodiment of reality and a theatre of elemental force. Her bitter cold, and shadeless heat, her dwarfed but vigorous vegetation, her solemn hills and plains of light and darkness outspread, while they repulse the urban spirit, yet sometimes waken a beholder to emotions of interest; sometimes fire the feeble soul to courage; lift the luxurious toward restraint; touch the narrow, self-centred and mean to a wider survey of existence.
