Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Short Day´s Work: Original Verses, Translations, From Heine, and Prose Essays Brought up amidst the hills and valleys and grey mists of Derbyshire, her love of home and country was deep and constraining; and, at a time when a removal to the South of England was in contemplation, she wrote, while staying at the temporary Sussex home, many childish verses descriptive of the scenes amid which she had lived, summing up her love in the following lines: - "I doubt not this place be fair and bright, With its southern moor, and bright sun-light, But my heart still loveth best to roam Mong the smooth green hills of my Derbyshire home." Among those hills she lived,, in good comradeship with young friends growing up around her, and in close and happy communion with her parents and only sister - the sister "lovely and beloved," with whom every pleasure and pain was shared. To many who knew them it will be impossible to think of the two sisters apart. Always together as children in the nursery and the schoolroom, they were a happy pair; and though when grown up their different tastes led to some divergence in pursuits, this diversity fostered rather than impaired that intimate companionship which in their lives suffered no break. And in their death, save for a few short weeks, they were not divided. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
