Thro Lattice-Windows (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Thro Lattice-Windows Tepping westward from South Bar S ton, the traveller follows for about two miles a deeply shaded lane, which gradually becomes narrower and more uneven till it climbs abruptly to the Open moorland. The last building which he passes on leaving the lane is a ruined windmill, which crowns a little green acclivity like a white lighthouse; and this illusion is still further strengthened by the sea-like emptiness and vastness of the surrounding scenery. Over this sad-coloured and unpopulated waste the wind beats incessantly, piping and cry ing in the dusk of summer days like a human voice, and passing with a sound like the noise of battling armies through the long nights Of winter tempest.
