Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Poems A Ballad of Hell ´A letter from my love to-day! Oh, unexpected, dear appeal!´ She struck a happy tear away, And broke the crimson seal. ´My love, there is no help on earth, No help in heaven; the dead-man´s bell Must toll our wedding; our first hearth Must be the well-paved floor of hell.´ The colour died from out her face, Her eyes like ghostly candles shone; She cast dread looks about the place, Then clenched her teeth and read right on, ´I may not pass the prison door; Here must I rot from day to day, Unless I wed whom I abhor, My cousin, Blanche of Valencay, ´At midnight with my dagger keen I´ll take my life; it must be so. Meet me in hell to-night, my queen, For weal and woe.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
