Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Table-Talk, Vol. 2: Illustrated With Wood-Cuts My limbs are bowed, though not with toil, But rusted by a vile repose, For they have been a dungeon´s spoil; And mine hath been the fate of those To whom the glorious sun and air Are bann´d and barr´d - forbidden fare. Prisoner of Chillon. One evening in August last, I was sitting on the beach close by Sandowne Castle. The evening was so mild that I had come out with the intention of bathing; but as the state of the tide was somewhat unfavourable, I fell into some doubt on the subject; and, while in that state of mind, was amusing myself with looking at the numerous ships then riding at anchor in the Downs, and from time to time gathering pebbles from the countless mass of them around me, and throwing them down the beach; in a vain effort to recover an art in which I had excelled in my boyhood, that of being a good shot with a stone, in technical phrase, of "shying well." While I was thus employed, a man came out of the castle gate, crossed the draw-bridge, and passed me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
