Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Clay and in Bronze: A Study in Personality The gloom of the March evening was beginning to creep in over the land as Martin Duignan unyoked his horses from the plough and, coming out through a narrow gap where the mud slushed up about his boots, entered the long boreen which led to his mother´s house. He walked with head downcast like the horses who pounded along doggedly, the dirty hair of their fetlocks falling down over their clay-encrusted hoofs. The two horses and the man were beating a broken retreat before the forces of the Earth. This was the life of the horses and the life of him who had to work like a horse - their sudden, brave effort of the morning, the long furrows and the sun in their faces and the rise of the hill. Then the ending - to stumble home like this when the night was falling down and creeping in over Glannanea. Yet upon this very evening it might be that there was some kind of a dream shining in the mind of Martin Duignan. There seemed to be something in him that the clay had not yet subdued and it came thus to life when the labour of the fields was done. As he took his way so quietly now by the old churchyard of Glannanea a little shudder passed through his frame.
