Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Standard Novels, Vol. 1 of 1: N° LX; Henry Masterton I opened my eyes to the light of day, on the shores of that part of the British Channel at which the narrow seas which interpose between France and England first show an inclination to spread out into the Atlantic Ocean. My father´s house - Oh, what a multitude of the thrilling memories, of early years and happy dreams and gall-less pleasures rise up at the very name, mingling with the forms of the loved and dead, and the tones of sweet voices that are heard no more. My father´s house was raised upon the summit of one of those high cliffs which guard the coast of Devonshire; and, sweeping round within view of the windows, was a small beautiful bay, not a league and a half in diameter, in which the blue waters of the sea collected deep and still, as if for the purpose of repose. Bold high rocks, of a similar character to that on which our dwelling was perched, flanked the bay to the east; and, on the west, a long range of sandy shores extended towards the Atlantic, sloping gradually up into green fertile hills, whose high tops, covered with rich woods of oak and beech, sheltered the calm expanse below from the wild gales that race across the wide ocean beyond.
