The Wanderer

The WandererThe Wanderer

With her new story, Monica Edwards returns to Punchbowl Farm and the Thornton Family. As in her previous "Punchbowl" books, Mrs. Edwards writes of the normal, everyday things that happen on a farm, but her skill in describing places and her sympathetic understanding of the problems as well as the excitements that face people who are growing up to-day, set her books in a class by themselves. The chief problem facing Dion, Lindsey and the rest of the Thornton family, is what to do about Chalice, the colt, who is continually breaking out, leading the heifers after him.

The Wanderer

 I met him at the crossroads, a man with but a cloak and a staff, and a veil of pain upon his face. And we greeted one another, and I said to him, "Come to my house and be my guest."

 And he came.

 My wife and my children met us at the threshold, and he smiled at them, and they loved his coming.

 Then we all sat together at the board and we were happy with the man for there was a silence and a mystery in him.

 And after supper we gathered to the fire and I asked him about his wanderings.

 He told us many a tale that night and also the next day, but what I now record was born out of the bitterness of his days though he himself was kindly, and these tales are of the dust and patience of his road.

 And when he left us after three days we did not feel that a guest had departed but rather that one of us was still out in the garden and had not yet come in.

                  Isn't poetry a powerful tool! - one of the poets i remember reading as a kid... - s.

Melmoth the Wanderer

Melmoth the WandererMelmoth the Wanderer by Charles Maturin
Book Description
Part Faust, part Mephistopheles, Melmoth has made a satanic bargain for immortality. Now he wanders the earth, an outsider with an eerie, tortured existence, searching for someone who will take on his contract and release him to die a natural death.

With its erudition and wit, and its parody of arcane learned manuscripts, this Gothic masterpiece-first published in 1820-follows in the tradition of both the classics of its genre and the works of Cervantes, Swift, and Sterne. Some of its many admirers were Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, Edgar Allan Poe, and Maturin's great nephew, Oscar Wilde.
