Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Barclays of Boston ´I was a child, and she was a child, In that kingdom by the sea.´ Poe. In the cloak-room of a brilliantly illuminated house in Chestnut street in Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, stood a laughter-loving, gay, and particularly handsome youth, over whose bright and sunny curls some seventeen years had passed, holding in his hand a bunch of English violets, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of his ´ladye love.´ Start not, gentle reader, at this announcement; such things occur even in the over-educated and overstrained city of the Puritan fathers. Young love! what a sad pity that the only obstacle arising, in after years, when the tender passion exists and overwhelms its deluded victims so early in life, is the manifest difficulty of remembering and ascertaining the idolized object of the ´first dream,´ and that the scent of the roses, instead of embalming the fair vision, should be lost in oblivion. But who thinks of after days at seventeen? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
