Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dwarf´s Chamber and Other Stories The Dwarf´s Chamber Oh, twice I met with faery folk, All in the cold moonshine, With them I skipped beneath the oak, And quaffed their faery wine. But I have dreed my weird lang syne, Because I sinned a deadly sin, They laid a curse on me and mine, And gifted me with dwarfish kin. The Fiddler The railway is responsible for the transmutation of sleepy villages into noisy manufacturing towns; of picturesque inns into gaudy hotels. Wheresoever that iron road runs, hamlets, as vitalized by its touch, begin to throw out lines of suburban villas, to gather into clumps of roaring factories; while the rustic alehouse, of yore the parliament of rural politicians, swells into a bloated, three-storey barrack, all glass, and glitter, and bare discomfort. The portly host doffs his apron for the smart vulgarities of a publican, and trim Phyllis, changing sex and attractiveness, shrinks to a lean, black-coated, white-cravated scarecrow, avaricious of "tips," and servile in demeanour.
