Excerpt from Tales of the CloisterAbove the garden stretched the blue sky, now slowly fading into the gray Of early even ing. In the willows that lined the edges Of the tiny lake, sleepy birds answered each other, their drowsy calls mingling with the rustle of the leaves and the cool splash of the fountain. The smooth garden paths that radiated from the lake were fringed with Old-fashioned flowers: roses, honeysuckle, and mignonette, with here and there a bed of scarlet geranium that flaunt ed its aggressiveness brazenly in the rich so briety of surrounding tones. At one end of the garden a chapel, roughly hewn from solid rock, was covered with a luxuriant growth of moss and vines; near it towered a rustic cross, its base a mass of passion flowers, its arms hold ing aloft the crucified Christ.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
