Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs, Poems and Prose Perchance, e´en then thou mayest prove useful to kindle the fires of thought of some wayfaring discoverer, like as the wreckage of ancient ships full often maketh the winter fires of those who search the beaches. That I might be able to complete and present you with a copy of this book ere the days of your earthly pilgrimage came to an end has throughout its compilation ever been before me, and has proved a very great incentive spurring me on towards that consummation. I therefore most heartily rejoice that in a year which is, and shall be regarded as, most memorable, - inasmuch that in it our beloved sovereign Queen Victoria (whom all loyal Britons revere and look upon as their national mother) completes the longest and most glorious reign in British history, - I can celebrate its publishing; and thus give to you and myself some special reason to for ever keep it in remembrance. Situated in this quiet little country village, called, rather singular to say, after Bragi, the Danish god of poetry - for the ancient name of Brawby was Brage-bi, which means, the Bi or village of Bragi - the years have flown swiftly and not unhappily. ´Tis true I have often longed for beautiful Devon, and dear old Torquay, and Babbacombe, though Kirkdale, Lastingham, Rivaulx, Byland, and Kirkham have natural beauties and historical associations peculiarly their own yet one of the chief and great wants of my heart has always been your loving presence and society, which have ever meant home for me.
