Excerpt from The Three Eras of Woman's Life: A NovelBut now an awful visitant was there. Death had laid his hand on the beloved, the revered, parent. For her, time had sounded his last note, and she was whispering her dying counsels in the ear of the fair creature who knelt by her side. Pale as the young face was, which was turned up ward, now to the dying mother, now to heaven, it was glo rions in its rare beauty. Sorrow and watching had dimmed the brilliance of its colouring, but the eye of holy blue, the noble brow, the polished forehead, the glittering hair dis playing its golden luxuriance as it hun neglected and un bound - were still there. It was the ace of an angel in its beauty, but the feelings, the sufferings of a mortal were marring its brightness.The last words, - the last blessing were spoken, the long, lingering, faint embrace given, the last prayer breathed and the spirit had departed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
