“Not only is the day waning, but the year. The low sun is fiery and yet cold behind the monastery ruin, and the Virginia creeper on the Cathedral wall has showered half its deep-red leaves down on the pavement. There has been rain this afternoon, and a wintry shudder goes among the little pools on the cracked, uneven flag-stones, and through the giant elm-trees as they shed a gust of tears.” YearsLittlesHas BeensNatureBehindsHalfSunTreeTearsWallColdLowsRedRainStonesRuinsGiantsAfternoonPoolFlagsShedVirginiaCrackedCathedralsFieryPavementMonasteriesCreepersRed LeavesElm Trees Book:The Complete Works of Charles Dickens: Edwin Drood and Miscellaneous Source: The Complete Works of Charles Dickens: Edwin Drood and Miscellaneous

“High horns, low horns, silence, and finally a pandemonium of trumpets, rattles, croaks, and cries that almost shakes the bog with its nearness ... A new day has begun on the crane marsh. A sense of time lies thick and heavy on such a place ... Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins, as in art, with the pretty.
