Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Half-Hours of Blind Man´s Holiday, or Summer and Winter Sketches in Black and White, Vol. 1 of 2 Fourteen years ago a very puzzling problem was put before me, and in rather a startling fashion. Up to the age of five-and-thirty life had been a pleasant happy thing enough - I enjoyed it, in fact. I was a landscape-painter, and in bright summer weather, when I could wander at will by mountain-side or riverbank, by ´the melancholy marge of some neglected sea,´ or in the midst of yellow cornfields and shady lanes, and could set up my easel in the air whenever it pleased me, carrying off from it more or less successful work, with an equal yield of profit and pleasure, I did not acknowledge to myself that I dwelt in ´a vale of tears.´ But there came a day when literally to me there was ´no more splendour in the grass or glory in the flower;´ I became blind, and for a time was more dependent than the veriest child upon the care and guidance of others. My forced inaction was torture to me. What could I do? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
