Ireland was a pleasanter place of residence than it has been before or since.
I found it much easier and pleasanter to be taught by myself than to receive instruction in class.
The bulbs are continually improving, so that they are now softer and pleasanter.
Like the wasps, before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the northeast side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire.
