Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Life´s Assize Over the border; beyond that vast expanse of moss across which the express speeds northward after leaving Carlisle; west of the Southern Highlands, there stands - like one who has voluntarily stepped aside from the world´s hurry and turmoil - in the tranquil valley of Nithsdale, the fair ´Queen of the South,´ Dumfries. Now-a-days, Dumfries is but little visited. Tourists journeying post-haste on to Loch Lomond and the Trosachs, speeding away to look at frowning mountains and darksome lakes, have no leisure, and less inclination, to tarry at so insignificant a spot. Sterner beauties, noted from generation to generation, beckon to them from the northern fastnesses; and accordingly it comes to pass that the humbler and softer loveliness of Nithsdale is left unregarded, and the town where my story opens blooms like the flower of the wilderness, only to gladden the heart and refresh the spirit of some chance wayfarer. Very soft, very stealing, very long-enduring, is the beauty of this part of Scotland. It does not assail the imagination with beetling cliff, with foaming waterfall, with lakes silent and gloomy, with rugged defiles, with frowning precipices - but it leaves an impression on the imagination which very much grander scenery often fails to do.
