The Isles of Sunset (Classic Reprint) by Arthur Christopher Benson Pdf

Excerpt from The Isles of Sunset The bay in which the Isles lay was quite deserted; the moorland came to the edge of the cliffs, and through a steep and rocky ravine, the sides of which were over grown with ferns and low trees, all brushed landward by the fierce winds, a stream fell hoarsely to the sea, through deep rock pools. The only living things there were the wild birds, the moorfowl in the heather, hawks that built in the rock face, and pigeons that make their nest in hollow places. Sometimes a stag pacing slowly on the cliff-top would look over, but that was seldom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paul the Minstrel, and Other Stories by Arthur Christopher Benson Pdf

Excerpt from Paul the Minstrel, and Other Stories: Reprinted From the Hill of Trouble and the Isles of Sunset These stories were all written at a very happy time of my life, and they were first published when I was a master at Eton with a boarding-house. A house-master is not always a happy man. It is an anxious business at best. Boys are very unaccountable creatures, and the years between boyhood and adolescence are apt to represent an irresponsible mood. From the quiet childhood at home the boys have passed to what is now, most happily, in the majority of cases, a carefully guarded and sheltered atmosphere - the private school. My own private school was of the old-fashioned type, with a very independent tone of tradition; but nowadays private schools are smaller and much more domesticated. The boys live like little brothers in the company of active and kindly young masters; and then they are plunged into the rougher currents of public schools, with their strange and in many ways barbarous code of ethics, their strong and penetrating traditions.

Out of the Sunset Sea (Classic Reprint) by Albion W. Tourgée Pdf

Excerpt from Out of the Sunset Sea Everything was at once astir. Food was served, prayers were read by the Admiral, who was as glib and ready at the business as if he had been trained for the Church rather than the quarter-deck, as, indeed, some said he was, and became apostate through unholy dealings with the Evil One. The watches were conned; the sails were loosed; the Windlass cleared to raise the anchor, when out of the fog, just opposite my post, there came a hail, which, before Ithought, I had answered with a challenge as if I were a sentinel on post rather than a sailor on duty under his Officer's eye. In much confusion I turned to report the hail to the Master, Juan de la Cosa, who had charge Of the watch and who stood near, over looking the work Of getting under way.

The Isles of Sunset by Arthur Benson Pdf

About midway between the two horns of the bay, the Isles of Sunset pierced the sea. There was deep blue water all around them, and the sharp and fretted pinnacles of rock rose steeply up to heaven. The top of the largest was blunt, and covered with a little carpet of grass and sea-herbs. The rest were nought but cruel spires, on which no foot but that of sea-birds could go. At one place there was a small creek, into which a boat might be thrust, but only when the sea was calm; and near the top of the rock, just over this, was the dark mouth of a little cave.

Vintage Miami Beach Glamor by Deborah C Pollack Pdf

This history details the tumultuous lives of Miami Beach’s mid-twentieth century jet set, and features archival photos. From roughly 1930 to 1960, Miami Beach attracted an exclusive colony of socialites, who mixed with Hollywood celebrities and dignitaries, such as Winston Churchill, as effortlessly as tonic mixes with gin. Elizabeth Taylor announced her ill-fated engagement to the son of a former ambassador in Miami Beach. Other movie stars, such as Veronica Lake, were filmed in the enclave. Beautiful model Bab Beckwith, the first Orange Bowl Parade queen, dated John F. Kennedy while he was in Miami in 1944. Speedboat king Gar Wood bought his mistress a $100,000 bayfront home and then sued to force her to vacate the property. A tumultuous affair between John Jacob Astor VI and Lucille Stiglich led to the young model serving time in the Miami Beach jail. Deborah C. Pollack delves into an era filled with excitement, style, humor and panache.

The Pursuit by Isobel Hume Fisher Pdf

Excerpt from The Pursuit: And Other Poems It's oh to be young in a world grown old A sober world and grey, With chivalry banished and love grown cold And the fairies fled away; For the Little People are over the sea, over the sea to the West, A thousand leagues through the Sunset Gates they dwell, in the Isles of the Blest.
