The Scent of the Heather, and Other Writings in Prose and Poetry (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Scent of the Heather, and Other Writings in Prose and Poetry
The act of dying is the most intimately private in the world. Private, too, is the grief that every death entails. Yet both the death and the grief have their own publicity. They find public record on the gravestone, challenging the eye of the casual visitor to the burying-ground. The common fate of death ensures from all human creatures a common kind ness for the dead.
The most fitting monument to Miss Margaret Elenora Tupper is found in her own words and thoughts. These, therefore, are gathered together into a volume by her friends and offered to the public eye. Such a memorial is, from the mere circumstances of its publication, secure from the in. Difference of the beholder. But it remains for the inherent beauty and sweetness of the contents of the book to win from readers a more particular and personal regard for this accomplished daughter of Martin Farquhar Tupper.
