Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sherborne, Vol. 1 of 3: Or the House at the Four Ways The atmosphere was in that state which, Homer tells us, is bad for shepherds but good for thieves. A chilly fog - thin, whitish grey, and equally diffused - made the tip of my nose feel a sort of un-enlivening tingle, such as one´s inner self experiences when exposed to the pride, pomp, and circumstance of some ponderously unprofound criticism. It dimmed the outline of the policeman´s hat at a hundred yards distance, and made the approximate gutter an important object by reason of its comparative distinctness. It caused all sounds to strike clearly on the tympanum, and aroused the ears of the mind into a sort of prospective attention. Tennyson says that "In the spring a young man´s fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of love." But I believe that in the country the abstract idea of good, sturdy British matrimony - shy, home-growing, and often unconsciously heroic - is most practically busy on grey November days, when the air is chilly but not actually cold, and the sheep-bells tinkle softly in the folded turnip fields.
