Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wintering Hay White mist, black windows, and a steady drip from the slates; the peal of water falling from a height into some rock basin; outside the cleave, and far from it, where was more open space for the wind to move in, bells striking against the clouds, their sound only reaching the windows like insects tapping woodwork, or so many throbbing watches packed in wool. The vapour, itself wool-like, wrapped the walls of Wintering Hay, as if anxious to hide that dwelling-place from the eyes of men, although needlessly, for in all seasons it was hidden, lying apart from the world in sleep. Old-fashioned Nature, who loves a solitude and will always, if she can, bring back the wild state that men and women seek to destroy while loving it, triumphed wonderfully in Zigzag Cleave. Those who had watered goats there while Phoenician galleys strained at the mouth of the Dart might still have found their way along, recognising some boulder at every turning; they would have discovered their own bridge higher up; the thurlestone from which they looked out had not yet fallen. This was the triumph of Nature - she had succeeded in holding her own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
