Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chapters on Churchyards Many are the idle tourists who have babbled of country churchyards - many are the able pens which have been employed on the same subjects. One in particular, in the delightful olio of the "Sketch-book," has traced a picture so true to nature, so beautifully simple and pathetic, that succeeding essayists might well despair of success in attempting similar descriptions, were not the theme, in fact, inexhaustible, a source of endless variety, a volume of instructive records, whereof those marked with least incident are yet replete with interest for that human being who stands alone amongst the quiet graves, musing on the mystery of his own existence, and on the past and present state of those poor relics of mortality which every where surround him, mouldering beneath his feet - mingling with the common soil - feeding the rank churchyard vegetation - once sentient like himself with vigorous life, subject to all the tumultuous passions that agitate his own heart, pregnant with a thousand busy schemes, elevated and depressed by alternate hopes and fears - liable, in a word, to all the pains, the pleasures, and "the ills, that flesh is heir to."
