Excerpt from A Day With Charles Kingsley
A figure issued from a cave in the rocks, a tall and stately old man, whose snow-white beard covered his chest and shoulders, while his brown limbs were wrapped in Indian web. Slowly and solemnly he approached, a staff in one hand, a string of beads in the other, the living likeness of some old Hebrew prophet, or anchorite of ancient legend.
