Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Earlswood or Lights and Shadows of the Anglican Church, a Tale for the Times It was an old man´s tale, but oft mine eyes did weep, To think of woes that haunted me in sleep. Go, ponder well the lessons which its truths impart, Lean not on man, but give to God thine heart; And when thou doubtest, ask His Spirit´s aid, To fix thy faith on what the Lord has said! A Traveller, who had wandered far from his intended route among the richest localities of North Devonshire, suddenly found himself on the verge of a steep declivity, overlooking one of the most lovely views which could arrest the eye of man; and there he paused, both to contemplate the scene, and to await some passer-by, who would inform him of his lost track. An aged man, bearing the appearance of a respectable yeoman, stood, not far distant, leaning on a gate which separated the cliff from the descent, on which the rich ears of corn were fast ripening for harvest; and the traveller advanced towards him, not only to ask his way, but to inquire the name of a locality so full of sylvan interest. In reply to the last, the old man said, "If you mean the village down in yon valley, it is called Glencombe, sir; but the manor facing us is called Earlswood, to my mind the most beautiful spot in all England, even counting the king´s own palace, though I don´t mean to say the house itself is as grand as Windsor Castle." There was a tone of melancholy in the old man´s voice, as he fixed a tearful gaze upon the objects thus so fondly eulogized, which attracting the curiosity of his listener, he inquired to whom the place belonged?
