Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cleve Hall It was an old gable-ended farm-house, standing back from the road, with a smooth piece of turf in front, neatly kept, and divided down the centre by a broad strip of pavement. Five or six large elm trees shaded it on the left; on the right, behind some broad meadows, rose a steep bank, forming the further extremity of a rocky ravine, through which ran a by-road from the highway, probably leading to some sequestered hamlet. The whole surface of the country was hilly, almost claiming the appellation of mountainous. A long range of steep downs stretched for a considerable distance beyond the ravine towards the north-east; whilst in front of the farm, at about the distance of a mile, the horizon was bounded by a hill, clothed with thick plantations, amongst which the sighing of the soft evening wind was heard mingling with the heavy swell of the ocean. The view was very lovely, seen in the mellow evening light; the meadows rich with the golden flowers of early summer, and the fresh green on the trees and hedges, sparkling as their trembling leaves caught the glancing rays of the sinking sun. Yet it was solitary. No building was in sight except the quaint, gray farm-house, with its ivy-covered chimneys, and broad, open porch; and though there were sounds about the farm, - the carter-boy´s whistle, - the clatter of the milk-pails, as the dairymaids crossed the yard, - and occasionally the neighing of a horse, or the lowing of a cow; yet they were all hushed, - softened by that indescribable atmosphere of quietness, which prepares the gentle evening for the deeper solemnity of night.
