Thanks for those two passages Moss, I hadn't come across the Boscawen-Un one before and didn't know he had been to Cornwall. I guess we have to remember he wrote for a living and lived in poverty a lot of the time - which may account for some of the romanticised prose e.g."Here, under the sky, they met, leaning upon the stones, tall fair men of peace, but half warriors, whose songs could change ploughshares into sword." I wonder just how different the perceptions of the early 20 century were to the way things are experienced today.
