Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Thief of Virtue Cloud-shadows swept a desert, and beneath their stains the bosom of the waste appeared to rise and fall, as though, not earth, but some enormous, animate creature of earth, panted here, and stretched its rugged immensity upon the midst of that wider world outspread around it. Dartmoor, beheld from a height above her central plains, sprang to a crown of tors, and rounded mightily on many a hog-backed hill. Within this amphitheatre twinkled the eastern arm of Dart, straggled a wood, and clustered a few cottages beside the river; while at distances remote from the central dwellings, sunk humbly beside this streamlet or beneath that steep, there shone out roof-trees of little farms. The Moor encircled them in billowy plains of pallid yellow and dim green. Its faces rolled upon each other; they fell here to water-side; they ascended and broke where the granite burst through them in peaks and ravines; they brightened where the ling bloom spattered their leagues with light. A lesser fret of inherent colour was manifest under that mightier robe where sunshine blazed and shadows sped.
