" "Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more.
Σελίδα 137 - To see him striding along the profile of a hill on a windy day, with his clothes bagging and fluttering about him, one might have mistaken him for the genius of famine descending upon the earth, or some scarecrow eloped from a cornfield.
