Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Venus Act I, Scene I. - Porch at rear of Executive Mansion. (Enter Governor, Sheriff and Messenger.) Governor. What! resists arrest by authority? This hermit of the mountains, he a God? Denies the power of society, The just and righteous course of law and order? We´ll know the truth of his most wild assertions. Does he make threats? Sheriff. With words and actions too; Aye, with a voice strong and mean invective, A face drawn full of heartless, vain contours, He threatens any one who should attend To pry into his curious secrecies, With death by bullet or with dynamite. Governor. Lives he in a cave? Sheriff. No, his vile retreat, Is but, as I saw it from the outside, A house of logs and mud without a roof; No windows and no door, but in one end, As projecting above the topmost logs, I saw a part of what appeared to be A single castle of shining silver. What it is to save my life I can´t guess. I called "hello!" the voice of a woman Calmly answered. Then I heard a murmur, A head disguised peered high above the wall, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
