Charles Hamilton Sorley (Чарльз Сорли)
Richard Jefferies
(LIDDINGTON CASTLE) I see the vision of the Vale Rise teeming to the rampart Down, The fields and, far below, the pale Red-roofédness of Swindon town. But though I see all things remote, I cannot see them with the eyes With which ere now the man from Coate Looked down and wondered and was wise. He knew the healing balm of night, The strong and sweeping joy of day, The sensible and dear delight Of life, the pity of decay. And many wondrous words he wrote, And something good to man he showed, About the entering in of Coate, There, on the dusty Swindon road.
