'The notion that motor-cars are more "alive" than, say, centaurs or dragons is curious,' he says at one point; 'that they are more "real" than, say, horses is pathetically absurd. How real, how startlingly alive, is a factory chimney compared with an elm-tree: poor obsolete thing, insubstantial dream of an escapist.'
