Linnet, a Romance

Grant Allen

4.9/5 (34331 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Linnet: A RomanceBut he waved one lily-white hand over the earth none the less with airy dismissal of his friend's implied criticism. How often shall I have to tell you, my dear Deverill, he said blandly, in his lofty didactic tone - the tone which, as Often happens with very small men, came most familiarly of all to him - that you unduly subordinate the ideal to the real, where you ought rather to subordinate the real to the ideal. This, you say, is the Tyrol - the solid, uncompromising, geographically definite Tyrol of the tax-gatherer, the post master, and the commercial traveller - bounded on the north by Bavaria, on the south by Italy, on the east by the rude Carinthian boor, and on the west by the collection of hotels and pensions marked down on the map as the Swiss Republic. Very well then; let me see if there's anything Tyrolese at all to be found in it. I have instinctive within me a picture of the true, the ideal Tyrol. I know well its green pastures, its upland slopes, its innocent peasantry, its fearless Chamois hunters, its beautiful, guileless, fair-haired maidens. Arriving by rail today in this its prosaic prototype - cast up, as it were, from the train on the sea-coast of this Bohemia - I turn my eyes with interest upon the imitation Tyrol Of real life, and strive earnestly to discover some faint points Of resemblance, if such there be, with the genuine article as immediately revealed to me.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
