Seeing Europe With Famous Authors Vol Ii PDF Download

Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 2 of 10 The church itself is an interesting but not remarkable edifice, Old, small, and solidly built in a style common enough in England.

It was Gray's wish that he might be buried here, near the mother whom he loved so well; otherwise he could hardly have escaped the posthumous misfortune of a tomb in Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's. In such case the world would have missed one of the most charming of associations, and the great poem the most poetical of its features. For surely it was fit that he who sang so touchingly of the dead here Sleeping, should find near them his last resting-place; that when the pleasant toil in libraries was over, the last folio closed by those industrious hands, the last man.
