Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Fountain Sealed: A Novel At noon, by the shadow of my sundial in the middle of the grass; by the striking of the clock in the tower of Hackney Church; by the disappearance of the shadows from the side walls of my garden, which lie exactly north and south; I was taking the air upon the lawn. It was, I remember, Saturday morning, September 16th, in the year of grace 1780. The day, though the season was already advanced into autumn, was fair and warm; the orchard was still pleasing to the eye, those apples not yet gathered showing like balls of vermilion and gold: the summer flowers were nearly over, yet there were still some; the sweet peas, which had been that year more than commonly luxuriant, were now piled in a heap of brown seed-pods, brown leaves, and grey stalks, yet there were blossoms still among them: there were late roses still in bloom; the jessamine on the wall was still dotted with a few white sweet-smelling blossoms-it is a scent which makes the senses reel and the heart beat-it recalls old memories.
