Excerpt from Wylder's Hand: A Novel
It was late in autumn, and I was skimming along, through a rich English country, in a postchaise, among tall hedge-rows gilded, like all the landscape, with the slanting beams of sunset. The road makes a long and easy descent into the little town of Gylingden, and down this we were going at an exhilarating pace, and the jingle of the vehicle sounded like sledge-bells in my ears, and its swaying and jerking were pleasant and life-like.
An undulating landscape, with a homely farmstead here and there, and plenty of old English timber scattered over it, extended mistily to my right; on the left the road is overtopped by a noble forest. The old park of Brandon lies there, more than four miles from end to end. These masses of solemn and discolored verdure, the faint but splendid lights, and long filmy shadows, the slopes and hollows - my eyes wandered over them all with that strange sense of unreality, and that mingling of sweet and bitter fancy, with which we revisit a scene familiar in early childhood, and which has haunted a long interval of maturity and absence, like a romantic reverie.
