Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
AS SHE WAS THUS ALONE IN THE CLEAR MOONLIGHT, standing between rock and sky, and scarcely seeming to touch the earth, her dark locks and loose garments scattered by the wind, she looked like some giant spirit of the older time, preparing to ascend into the mighty cloud which singly hung from this poor heaven so when she lay beside me deep's town went round her and wondering children pressed against the high windows of the room where we had been so when she lay beside me a voice, reminded of an old fashion: 'What are they saying? of the planets and the turtles? of the woodsman and the bee?' but we were too proud to answer, too tired to care about designs 'of tents and books and swords and birds' thus does the circle pull upon itself and all the gadding angels draw us in until I can join her in that soft town where the bells split apples on their tongues and bring sleep down like a fish's shadow.  Read the first page
