Summer on the Lakes, in 1843 (1844)
Context: All around us lies what we neither understand nor use. Our capacities, our instincts for this our present sphere are but half developed.

The writer's responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness.
