Synopsis
Excerpt from Rustic Life in France
Everything not of direct utility will disappear. The country, furrowed by rectilinear roads, tram ways, gravelled ways, will have the appearance of a great chess-board under methodical cultivation, where everything will be by rule, mechanical and specialized, like a gigantic manufactory.
Then there will be an end of rustic life; its charm and picturesqueness will be found only in the books of poets and artists' drawings.
