Excerpt from Gladys, the ReaperSunshine: how gracious it is just now! Down yonder in the west, that ancient of days, the sun throws around him his evening glory, and right royally he does it. The rain-covered meadows glow beneath it, like so many lakes - the river looks up rejoicing, and the distant mountains are wrapped in gar ments dyed in the Old king's own regal colours. The woods look as smooth and glossy as the braided locks of maidens prepared for conquests and the roads and paths that wind here and there amongst the trees, are as gay as little streamlets in the sun's re¿ected light.Suddenly a rainbow leaps, as it were, out of the river, and spans, with its mighty arch, the country scene before us.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
