Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Earl´s Daughter, Vol. 2 That evening, as twilight shades were gathering over the sky, and repose was settling upon the lovely valley of Rutherford - as happy children were returning from their play, and the husbandman was preparing to enjoy his evening meal, and the sleep which "to the labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much" - the young heiress of all that wealth, beauty, and prosperity can bestow, lay stretched upon her couch, striving to chasten her rebellious heart, and bring every gloomy thought, and fruitless wish, into submission to the will of her Maker. Poor Blanche! she had not known, till that hour, that it was possible to feel more intensely for herself than for others. Unselfish, confiding, humble-minded, she had lived for her fellow-creatures, and in their joys and sorrows had found her own. But there are griefs which encompass us with a barrier that shuts out human sympathy, and forbids us to find relief in the thought that our affliction is less than that of many around us. "The heart knoweth its own bitterness;" and in those seasons of trial it is incapable of estimating comparative wretchedness.
