Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Daily Life of Our Farm A few yards separated from the shore, in a picturesque reach of the resplendent winding Wye, rests a huge boulder, which ages ago must have broken away from a ridge upon the hill-side above, upon which now there are several such gigantic brethren of a sufficiently threatening aspect, and which may be precipitated any day into mid-channel, therein to cool their vast sides after a prickly roll through thickset gorse. Below this block, in summer time, the divided stream reunites to ripple in a rapid run, within which lurks many a noble fish, both trout and salmon. Upon it, a few stunted shrubs and heather grow; Frondesque lymphis obstrepunt manantibus; Somnos quod invitet leves. Often has it formed a foreground for the wandering artist´s sketch: and oftener an afternoon couch for ourselves, whereupon were strung together such reflections as occurred to us upon the events of the day. From this diary the following pages present an extract. From this huge stone our homestead itself would appear to have borrowed its name, being mentioned in Domesday Book as "Mainavre" (obviously a corruption of the Welsh, "Y Maen yn yr avon," or "the Rock in the River"), and was held from the king in consideration of ten shillings and a sextary jar of honey annually.
