Book Description

Excerpt from A Sylvan Queen, Vol. 1 of 3 He felt even now an artist's enjoyment in the weird and solemn majesty of the hour. He could willingly have stayed till midnight, steep ing himself in the spirit of the scene, but uh fortunately the keen moorland breeze which he drew in with every breath had sharpened other senses than those which responded to this mystery and immensity of nature. He was not weary. The wild free air was as a tide of rushing life around him; but he was hungry, desperately and prosaically hungry, and internal monitions, not to be ignored, warned him that just now a well-spread supper-table, nay, a loaf of dry bread itself, though it cost him another ten miles' tramp to find it, would be worth all the gloomy grandeurs of the nocturnal landscape.
