Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Voyage of the Fleetwing: A Narrative of Love, Wreck, and Whaling Adventures It was approaching the midnight hour of a beautiful September night. The broad harvest moon was riding high in the zenith of an almost cloudless sky. Large and full, as in fact only a full-orbed moon could be seen on the meridian at such an hour. The few fleecy clouds seen occasionally drifting past the moon, lingered briefly in the enticing luna-light, until each, in turn, became glorified with a halo of purple and gold. This was the Night-queen´s insignia, bestowed upon every luminous mist which timidly came to pay homage at her throne. At the open window of a lofty cupola, which adorned one of the pretty dwellings on the hillside of Purchase Street, New Bedford, there sat two youthful lovers gazing out over the housetops, and far down upon the bay, which shone like silver in the mellow sheen of the splendid night. Hand in hand sat these two inamorati, silent as statues, watching the moonbeams flood the whole wide landscape with radiance, until every rugged outline softened into beauty.
