About this product

Product Information

[...]scenes are laid, has been for centuries immemorial the home of a curious and well-nigh distinct people, cherishing strange beliefs and singular customs, w for the most part obsolescent. Fancies, like certain soft-wooded plants which cant bear the silent inland frosts, but thrive by the sea in the roughest of weather, seem to grow up naturally here, in particular amongst those natives who have active concern in the labours of the 'Isle.' Hence it is a spot apt to generate a type of personage like the character imperfectly sketched in these pages-a native of natives-whom some may choose to call a fantast (if they hour him with their consideration so far), but whom others may see only as one that gave objective continuity and a name to a delicate dream which in a vaguer form is more or less common to all men, and is by means new to Platonic philosophers. To those who kw the rocky coign of England here depicted-overlooking the great Channel Highway with all its suggestiveness, and standing out so far into mid-sea that touches of the Gulf Stream soften the air till February-it is matter of surprise that the place has t been more frequently chosen as the retreat of artists and poets in search of inspiration-for at least a month or two in the year, the tempestuous rather than the fine seasons by preference. To be sure, one ok therein is the retreat, at their country's expense, of other geniuses from a distance; but their presence is hardly discoverable. Yet perhaps it is as well that the artistic visitors do t come, or more would be heard of little freehold houses being bought and sold there for a couple of hundred pounds-built of solid stone, and dating from the sixteenth century and earlier, with mullions, copings, and corbels complete. These transactions, by the way, are carried out and covenanted, or were till lately, in the parish church, in the face of the congregation, such being the ancient custom[...].
