Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from This Realm, This England I thought the noblest view in England opened out in a flash to me one day, having walked from Totland Bay across Headon Hill, and turned south and seaward at the road that leads right up to the cliff at Alum. It was late summer, and at that spot a sheet of purple heather on the slope and sheltered side of the hill went out to meet the sheet of azure above and the deeper blue of the sea far below. I want such a day clear and bright, and such a union of colour to make that claim for the scene at Alum; but, given them, I think it not a wild or reckless claim. I have never seen a finer bit of land and sky and seascape well compressed together, and the whole animate with the sense of national life and power, than the scene at Alum presents. There is only one thing wanting at such a time at Alum - a good view of the great white or grey escarpment of the rock which has given England another name.
