Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christmas-Eve and Easter Day Men and Women: In a Balcony Dramatis Personæ; Balaustion´s Adventure; Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangau; Fifine at the Fair Christmas-Eve and Easter-Day Florence, 1850. Christmas-Eve. I. Out of the little chapel I burst Into the fresh night-air again. Five minutes full, I waited first In the doorway, to escape the rain That drove in gusts down the common´s centre At the edge of which the chapel stands, Before I plucked up heart to enter. Heaven knows how many sorts of hands Reached past me, groping for the latch Of the inner door that hung on catch More obstinate the more they fumbled, Till, giving way at last with a scold Of the crazy hinge, in squeezed or tumbled One sheep more to the rest in fold, And left me irresolute, standing sentry In the sheepfold´s lath-and-plaster entry, Six feet long by three feet wide, Partitioned off from the vast inside - I blocked up half of it at least. No remedy; the rain kept driving. They eyed me much as some wild beast, That congregation, still arriving, Some of them by the main road, white A long way past me into the night, Skirting the common, then diverging; Not a few suddenly emerging From the common´s self through the paling-gaps, - They house in the gravel-pits perhaps, Where the road stops short with its safeguard border Of lamps, as tired of such disorder; - But the most turned in yet more abruptly From a certain squalid knot of alleys, Where the town´s bad blood once slept corruptly, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
