Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Varieties in Prose, Vol. 2 I shut my eyes and open them again. Am I dreaming? It seems as if this morning (or was it a month ago?) I was endungeoned in a labyrinth of grimy, busy streets. Modern England moved, clattered, chaffered around me - ´bus men and bourse men, costermongers and merchant princes, shopkeepers, street-haunters, newsboys, waggons, chariots, ´swells´ and ´girls´ of the period,´ with all the sights, sounds, and odours of a huge, shapeless modern city, from which was no escape; and no other kind of life seemed possible. Streets have melted like mist. I am, indeed, no longer in England, but emphatically in ´a Strange Land,´ and all the English call it so. I rest on a wild and lonely hill-top, watching the placid sinking sun of a September day, shedding its veil of light over a multitude of many-folded mountains. Westward, even to the gates of sunset, spreads the mystic mountain realm, ethereal as cloudland, but more permanent. I lie on heather; and straight below me drop the steep green fields and sloping woods to a Valley far down, with winding river and scattered cottages.
