Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Salving of a Derelict A Rising full moon, the earliest of young summer, lingered yet behind the black turrets of Dover Castle, sending between them long fingers of light upon the twilit peace of the harbour below. Beneath it to seaward the intermittent flash - flash - flash of the South Foreland light wheeled regularly upon a wisp of pale sea mist, that faded and vanished as though the giant beam had wiped it from existence. Upon the sheer face of the chalk chance prominences here and there caught the growing moonlight, the shadows between them making of the cliffs a mighty fairy lacework of frosted silver upon deep dark blue. In its little valley the town lay almost silent, its sea front chequered with lighted windows and strung with beads of light, dependent in long catenaries from lamp to lamp along the promenade. Touched by the moonlight, the trident of piers stretched whitely forth over the still cliff-shadowed waters, their ends dimly illuminate at monotonously cadenced intervals with a sickly light that waxed and waned as the great green lantern revolved slowly around the masthead of the harbour works light-vessel.
