Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hermit of Erving Castle: Erving, Mass The Hermit. It is evening, - I will enter, Since the throng has homeward sped, In a nich within the cavern, Flash the flames with faggots fed. Opposite, with blankets tattered, Soiled, forbidding to the touch, Ricketty with age, devoid of Comliness, there stands a couch. Surety, these are indications Of some human being´s home, You exclaim! You´ve spoken truly, ´Tis the Hermit´s, sad and lone. And I slightly shudder, as he, At this instant with a smile, Hastes to greet me, - but recover, Seeing naught portending guile. Clothed in garments, ragged, thread-bare, Dingy; else but patches naught; Face as bearded as a lion´s, Yet with no such fierceness fraught. Such was his appearance. Giving Me a seat, he then withdrew To the corner where the flickering Flames their radience o´er him threw. Then with loquacious glibness, Showed he those alloquial powers Which have entertained so many, Many anxious minds for hours. But his words were all unheeded, Little interest they bore, For the study of his features Interested me far more. How advertently I pondered On that visage. I could see On that forehead sorrow´s traces, Marks of deep anxiety. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
