A Merciless Felling of Trees

F.L. Lucas (1894-1967), Journal Under the Terror, 1938 (London: Cassell and Company, Limited, 1939), pp. 130-131 (March 30):
It must be seven years since I first came here [County Derry], to P's home. Yet here time seems to have stood still; save for a merciless felling of trees that makes one sad and furious. How many of us produce in our whole lifetime as much beauty as the tree we destroy in an hour and cannot replace in a generation?
