"So far I live to the northward, No man lives north of me; To the east are wild mountain-chains; And beyond them MERES and plains; To the westward all is sea.
"The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Long rows of poplars marking the straight highways, clumps of pollard willows scattered around the little MERES, snug farm-houses, with kitchen-gardens and brilliant flower-patches dotting the level plain, verdant pastures sweeping off into seemingly infinite distance, where the innumerable cattle seemed to swarm like insects, wind-mills swinging their arms in all directions, like protective giants, to save the country from inundation, the lagging sail of market-boats shining through rows of orchard trees-all gave to the environs of Zutphen a tranquil and domestic charm.
