Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Isle of Dreams A few places in the would are to be held holy, because of the love which consecrates them and the faith which enshrines them. Their names are themselves talismans of spiritual beauty. Of these is Iona. But to write of Iona, there are many ways of approach. No place that has a spiritual history can, to those who know nothing of it, be revealed by facts and descriptions. The approach may be through the obscure glens of another´s mind and so out by the moonlit way, as well as by the track that thousands travel. I have nothing to say here of Iona´s acreage, or fisheries, or pastures: nothing of how the islanders live. These things are the accidental. There is small difference in simple life anywhere. Moreover, there are many to tell all that need be known. There is one Iona, a little island of the west. It is but a small isle, fashioned of a little sand, a few grasses salt with the spray of an ever-restless wave, a few rocks that wade in heather and upon whose brows the sea-wind weaves the yellow lichen.
