Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from More About King Edward "Whatever record leaps to light, he never will be shamed." After the first shock I ceased to grieve. I could not repress a feeling of exultation that the King had died quickly, gloriously, painlessly, in a beautiful calm, and had been spared that long lingering on the brink of the river which is the only sting of death. His "agony" was of the briefest, if, indeed, there was one. He fell asleep. I was glad, too, because he died at the right moment, when his fame was greatest, and his name most refulgent, when he had no peer; and because he died rejoicing in the knowledge that he had left a dear and loving son, who could have said with Perkin: "We will in all points give our subjects cause to think that the blessed and debonair government of our noble father, King Edward, in his last times is in us revived." Edward the Seventh´s life had been a very happy one, although at times darkened by those clouds which ofttimes overshadow the careers alike of Monarchs and of men. "Post nubila Phoebus."
