Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bracken In the centre was a brake; on the south side a school-house; on the north hills; in the west the same old descending sun. In the east, almost invisible because he walked in the way of that sun which covered him about with glory, a man in academic gown, a handsome man without a physical flaw, with childlike blue eyes hardly kind enough then for purposes of pity; and perhaps a conceited man, for as he walked he often pressed a richly-coloured beard between his hands to shape it to his fancy, and he caught the gown about him as though imagining it to be the toga of free citizenship. He was a classical master, vain enough to compare himself with the gods and heroes of his text-books. That golden beard suited him, made him think of Apollo and sun-myths, helped him to form a wild idea that there might be something in him, not developed yet, which in time would lift him out of the rut of humanity, make him a being half-divine, and surrender to him the secret of the miracles. A mad idea, even for one steeped in classics, who made a living by teaching heroic verse, and telling of the days when gods wore cloaks and breeches; and yet it came. He was known as Jasper Ramrige.
