And in and around the splendid Temple, which had been the chief object of my admiration, armed men were barracked, surrounded by their stacks of musketry and pieces of heavy ordnance. These challenged me to render an account of myself, and...
Page 391 - ... the approach of evening brings with it an aching sense of loneliness and desolation which comes down upon the spirit like darkness upon the earth.
