Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hours With Eminent Irishmen and a Glimpse of Irish History A Dim stone upon the darkened wall of St. Patrick´s Church in Dublin sums up in words at once cruelly bitter and profoundly melancholy the story of a great man´s life. That mouldering inscription, niched in high obscurity, which sometimes stray pilgrims from across the seas strain their sight to decipher in the gloom, is the self-uttered epitaph of Jonathan Swift. "Here resteth the body of Jonathan Swift, Dean of this Cathedral Church, where fierce indignation can vex his heart no longer. Go, traveler, imitate if thou canst a champion, strenuous to his uttermost of liberty." A little way apart, shadowed by his name in death no less than in life, lies Stella. The pale, dark-eyed child whose wide eyes filled with strange fire as they followed the poor and lonely scholar through stately Shene or the prim rococo epicureanism of Moor Park, sleeps as she lived at her master´s feet.
