Tales Of The Mermaid Tavern

Excerpt from Tales of the Mermaid Tavern Tales Of The Mermaid Tavern. A Knight Of The Ocean-Sea. Under that foggy sunset London glowed Like one huge cob-webbed flagon of old wine. And, as I walked down Fleet Street, the soft sky Flowed thro' the roaring thoroughfares, transfused Their hard sharp outlines, blurred the throngs of black On either pavement, blurred the rolling stream Of red and yellow busses, till the town Turned to a golden suburb of the clouds. And, round that mighty bubble of St Paul's, Over the up-turned faces of the street, An air-ship slowly sailed, with whirring fans, A voyager in the new-found realms of gold, A shadowy silken chrysalis whence should break What radiant wings in centuries to be. So, wandering on, while all the shores of Time Softened into Eternity, it seemed A dead man touched me with his living hand, A flaming legend passed me in the streets About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
