Aurora Floyd: Volume 1

By: Braddon, M. E.

Faint streaks of crimson glimmer here and there amidst the rich darkness of theKentish woods. Autumn's red finger has been lightly laid upon the foliage-sparingly, as the artist puts the brighter tints into his picture: but the grandeur ofan August sunset blazes upon the peaceful landscape, and lights all into glory.The encircling woods and wide lawn-like meadows, the still ponds of limpid water, the trim hedges, and the smooth winding roads; undulating hill-tops, melting intothe purple distance; labouring men's cottages gleaming white from the surroundingfoliage; solitary roadside inns with brown thatched roofs and moss-grown stacks oflop-sided chimneys; noble mansions hiding behind ancestral oaks; tiny Gothicedifices; Swiss and rustic lodges; pillared gates surmounted by escutcheons hewnin stone, and festooned with green wreaths of clustering ivy; village churches andprim school-houses: every object in the fair English prospect is steeped in aluminous haze, as the twilight shadows steal slowly upward from the dim recessesof shady woodland and winding lane, and every outline of the landscape darkensagainst the deepening crimson of the sky
