Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorials of a Quiet Life, Vol. 1 of 2 "Death is the justification of all the ways of the Christian, the last end of all his sacrifices, - that touch of the great Master which completes the picture." - Madame Swetchine. "Dear, beauteous Death, the jewel of the just, Shining nowhere but in the dark, What mysteries do lie beyond thy dust; Could man outlook that mark!" Henry Vaughan, 1690. On 23rd October, the Augustus and Marcus Hares embarked together at Southampton in the Camilia, Julius watching them from the pier till they were out of sight, and the following morning they arrived at Havre, after a very stormy passage. Hence they began to post through France in their own two carriages; "the strange barbarity of the harness and dress of the postillions, and the miserable horses with their fiery eyes," striking them at first, as they did all foreign travellers in those days. By Rouen, Louviers, and Mantes they reached Paris, where they remained several days, and then by Fontainebleau, Sens, and Auxerre (with the picturesqueness of which they were greatly delighted), to Rouvray and Chalons. Hence they took the Saone steamer to Lyons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
