Madeleine: A Tale of Auvergne (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Madeleine: A Tale of Auvergne
It was on the margin of this limpid little sheet of water that two peasants, a man and a woman, might have been seen standing on a lovely Sunday evening in the autumn of the year 18 The hour was full of melancholy repose. The deep, cool shadows of even ing had already filled the valley, whilst the rays of the setting sun still lingered with a pale golden hue on the rocky heights. The growing twilight gave to this narrow Spot vague and indefinite limits which it did not possess in the daytime, when the glad sun shine was abroad, lighting up every nook and crevice. The trees, which grew in fantastic groups along the margin of the lake, now looked in the gathering gloom like the outskirts of mysterious forests plung ing amongst wild passes in the hills. The shadows on the bosom of the lake had already become more vast and indistinct, and the faint cry of the distant water-fowl, as it broke on the surrounding stillness, seemed to increase instead of dispelling the repose of that evening hour.
