Opis: Agnes - Langdon Mary

Excerpt from Agnes: A Novel<br><br>The summer tempest had been severe, but short; and the thunder having caused and the wind lulled, the rain fell steadily in large, heavy drops, brightened now and then by sunshine, which, darting from behind the edges of retiring clouds, threw a sudden glory over the landscape. The bird-song and the insect-hum were hushed, for the myriads of happy creatures that fill the forest had crept for shelter beneath broad leaves or thick-spreading branches, and not the faintest breeze stirred the tree-tops; but all the air was full of a low, musical murmur, - a perfect accord of harmony, given out by the vibration of differently shaped leaves, as the rain-drops struck them.<br><br>In the heart of the forest, where vines, weaving together the boughs of a bosky dell, had kept the ground dry notwithstanding the previous shower, a young man stood listening to this music of nature, so rarely heard because lost in other sounds, - so faint, and yet so exquisite that, once known, it must be ever remembered with a thrill of delight.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
