“Be it a weakness, it deserves some praise,We love the play-place of our early days;The scene is touching, and the heart is stoneThat feels not at that sight, and feels at none;This fond attachment to the well known place,Whence first we started into life’s long race,Maintains its hold with such unfailing sway,We feel it even in age, and at our latest day.”Cowper.

The scene is touching, and the heart is stone

This fond attachment to the well known place,
Whence first we started into life’s long race,
Maintains its hold with such unfailing sway,
We feel it even in age, and at our latest day.”
