Excerpt from Stratton Hill, Vol. 2 of 3: A Tale of the Civil Wars
"Pale cheek and eye subdued, of her whose mind
Was to the world and all its hopes resign'd;
Her easy form, in rustic neatness clad,
Was pleasing still - but she for ever sad!"
Crabbe.
In the narrow dell of Combe, that led down to the sea, the primroses were already fading, and the beech trees beginning to put forth their bud: the sea pink, one of the constant adornments of this coast, covered with its purple hue the banks of the dell.
