Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where the great plain of Tarphet runs up, as the sea in estuaries, among the Cyresian mountains, there stood long since the city of Merimna well-nigh among the shadows of the crags. I have never seen a city in the world so beautiful as Merimna seemed to me when first I dreamed of it. It was a marvel of spires and figures of bronze, and marble fountains, and trophies of fabulous wars, and broad streets given over wholly to the Beautiful. Right through the centre of the city there went an avenue fifty strides in width, and along each side of it stood likenesses in bronze of the Kings of all the countries that the people of Merimna had ever known. At the end of that avenue was a colossal chariot with three bronze horses driven by the winged figure of Fame, and behind her in the chariot the huge form of Welleran, Merimna's ancient hero, standing with extended sword. So urgent was the mien and attitude of Fame, and so swift the pose of the horses, that you had sworn that the chariot was instantly upon you, and that its dust already veiled the faces of the Kings. And in the city was a mighty hall wherein were stored the trophies of Merimna's heroes. Sculptured it was and domed, the glory of the art of masons a long while dead, and on the summit of the dome the image of Rollory sat gazing across the Cyresian mountains towards the wide lands beyond, the lands that knew his sword. And beside Rollory, like an old nurse, the figure of Victory sat, hammering into a golden wreath of laurels for his head the crowns of fallen Kings.

Download or read book The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories Annotated written by Lord Dunsany and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-18 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dunsany is a visionary, and these are stories as well as trips of extravagant delivered in lovely Jacobean language. It is difficult to depict the progression of the account and control of the language with a couple of confined models, however here is an extract that exhibits the secret and manners of speaking present in his composition. The tales are breezy and whimsical. They are about powerful whirlpools, mechanical mythical serpents, callous Wild Things, and sins that appear as canines. Here and there they are innocent and a small piece liberal, close to expanded fantasies; however frequently what is on a superficial level a basic dream ends up being a knife enclosed by strips. "The Doom of La Traviata," for instance, is a mourn for the destiny of heathens - that they are rebuffed despite the fact that numerous pieces of their spirit are lovely.

Book Synopsis The Shadow on the Blind and Other Stories by : Louisa Baldwin
Download or read book The Shadow on the Blind and Other Stories written by Louisa Baldwin and published by Wordsworth Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Victorians had an insatiable appetite for the macabre and sensational: stories of murder and suspense, ghosts, the supernatural and the inexplicable were the stuff of life to them. The two writers in this volume well represent the last decade of the nineteenth century, and are of interest in themselves as well as for their contribution to the chilling of the Victorian spine. Mrs. Alfred Baldwin attempted as a child to contact her dead sister through a seance, and took to writing when stricken by a mysterious illness six weeks after marriage. She was also the mother of the Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin. Lettice Galbraith is herself no less mysterious than the stories she wrote. She appeared on the literary scene in 1893, published a novel and two collections of stories in that year, a further story ("The Blue Room") in 1897, and then nothing more. Readers of 'The Empty Picture Frame', 'The Case of Sir Nigel Otterburne', 'The Trainer's Ghost' and 'The Seance Room' will recognise the Victorian spirit at its finest.
