Landor's Cottage

Product Information

y esto se aplica a todo lo referente habido y por haber del valle en el que el narrador/protagonista está excursionando. Not more than six steps from the main door of the cottage stood the dead trunk of a fantastic pear-tree, so clothed from head to foot in the gorgeous bignonia blossoms that one required no little scrutiny to determine what manner of sweet thing it could be. The land undulated very remarkably; and my path, for the last hour, had wound about and about so confusedly, in its effort to keep in the valleys, that I no longer knew in what direction lay the sweet village of B–, where I had determined to stop for the night. During his time there, Poe lost touch with Royster and also became estranged from his foster father over gambling debts.

Its two general directions, as I have said, were first from west to east, and then from north to south.

The traces of light wheels were evident; and although the tall shrubberies and overgrown undergrowth met overhead, there was no obstruction whatever below, even to the passage of a Virginian mountain wagon—the most aspiring vehicle, I take it, of its kind.

At the windows were curtains of snowy white jaconet muslin: they were tolerably full, and hung decisively, perhaps rather formally in sharp, parallel plaits to the floor—just to the floor. The door to the west wing was in its gable, and quite simple—a single window looked out to the south.By the time, however, that the fog had thoroughly disappeared, the sun had made its way down behind the gentle hills, and thence, as it with a slight chassez to the south, had come again fully into sight, glaring with a purplish lustre through a chasm that entered the valley from the west. Y desconozco si efectivamente tuvo una continuación como plantea su terminación, o si hay algún trasfondo o mensaje para analizar, ya que no me interesa ni me motiva hacer el esfuerzo mental para interpretar o analizarle algo, e incluso, investigar. Here a precipitous ledge of granite arose to a height of some ninety feet; and, as I have mentioned, the valley at this point was not more than fifty feet wide; but as the visiter proceeded southwardly from the cliff, he found on his right hand and on his left, declivities at once less high, less precipitous, and less rocky.

Siento que estamos ante una especie de experimento o algo así, ya que realmente no hay una trama ni nada parecido. At right angles to these buildings, and from the rear of the main one - not exactly in the middle - extended a third compartment, very small - being, in general, one-third less than the western wing. It led me on to the foot of the northern precipice, and thence over the bridge, round by the eastern gable to the front door. The road, after passing the gate, seemed to lie upon a natural ledge, sloping gradually down along the face of the north-eastern cliffs. Does this text contain inaccurate information or language that you feel we should improve or change?You can really picture yourself in this beautiful place and I can only surmise this must have been a place of great beauty or of great importance for Poe. Poe was inspired in this account by his final home, a farmhouse in New York State (now part of the Bronx) where he took up residence in 1846.
