Selborne is a village in Hampshire from "summary" of The Natural History of Selborne by Gilbert White
Selborne, that village where I dwell, is situated in the county of Hampshire, a place of peace and tranquility. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, it is a haven for those seeking solace and connection with nature. The village itself is small, with a population of just a few hundred souls who live simple lives in harmony with the land. The landscape of Selborne is a sight to behold, with its ancient woodlands, meandering streams, and open fields. The flora and fauna that call this place home are diverse and abundant, from the smallest insects to the largest mammals. The changing seasons bring a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds, painting the countryside in a symphony of life. The people of Selborne are a close-knit community, bound together by a shared love for their village and its surroundings. They work the land with care and respect, mindful of the delicate balance of nature. Their homes are cozy and welcoming, filled with warmth and laughter. Life in Selborne moves at a gentle pace, dictated by the rhythms of the natural world. Each day brings new discoveries and wonders, from the songs of birds at dawn to the whisper of the wind through the trees at night. The passing of time is marked not by clocks or calendars, but by the changing seasons and the cycles of life. In Selborne, the modern world fades into the background, replaced by a simpler, more meaningful existence. Here, one can truly appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and find peace and serenity in its embrace. Selborne is not just a village in Hampshire; it is a way of life, a state of mind, a sanctuary for the soul.
