Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tyne Chylde: My Life and Teaching, Partly in the Daylight of Fact, Partly in the Limelight of Fancy When you can understand my story call it daylight, and when you can only half make it out or not make it out at all call it limelight. The difficulty I have always had with myself has been double : first, I have always known more than I could tell or dare tell; and second, I have always been impatient with the Immediate, because I have seen something Beyond which I was anxious to get hold of. It was always the next thing that was going to be really worth while doing. The first difficulty was more serious than the second. When men have been in mysteries about me I could easily have blown the clouds away but for others, so I have borne the cold laugh and the hard word because of things they did not know, and I could not venture to explain. I think I can now say something that will cheer you and help you; at all events, you may see how a man has had to fight and suffer, and sometimes has had to wait in weariness and sleep until the ravens came from God. BORN ! What poetry´ is in that syllable, yet we talk of keeping to facts! As well tell a tree to keep to roots when it is climbing up to the sun, shooting out in huge branches, glowing into blossom, and maturing into fruit! The tree is the poetry of the root. Born, and born in quaint old Hexham, magnificent in antiquity, justly claiming to be a creation of Rome itself. That quaint town, rising in the quietness of old age over the silvery´ Tyne, witnessed the episcopal splendour of St. Wilfrid, himself a true Northumbrian and the most famous Saxon prelate that ever invoked the Pontiffs protection. A town to be proud of, surely! A see, a manor, a county, twelve hundred years ago! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
