Some years &. Ipasscd several weeks
at a fishing village on the coast of Brit
tany. What a hOlo it was But how
picturesque! A miserable anchorage,
for ten boats at the most, Il single stony
street, which | can compare to nothing
better than Il mountain torrent. On top
of the hill II church, a vcritable gothic
toy, which stood i'll the middle of u
cemetery from which a magnificent
view of the ocean was obtained. Find
ing myself in the vein for work, lin
gered in this out of the way corner until
the end of the month Of September,
which by rare chance in rainy Finis-
tere, was that year exceptionally mild
and clear
But one cannot always compose verses
and write, and walk was my hygiene
and my distraction. My most frequent
promenade was along the beach, having
on my right the bleak and rocky cliffs
and on my left the uncovered stretches
of sand-an immense desert Of sand left
bare by the outgoing tide. Two or three
times l had exchanged ciYilitics with
some custom house officer going his
rounds, his gun slung over his shoulder
was so regular and peaceful Il prone
nader that the sea swallows We're no
longer afraid of mo and hoped i'll front
of me, leaving the print Of thor star
shaped feet i'll the wet sand I walked
six or eight kilometcrs day and re-
turned homo with my pockets filed with
those dainty shells which arc found by
burying the hand deep down in the
damp pebbles.
This was my favorito excursion.
However, on the days when d strong
breeze was blowing and the tide was
very high abandoned the scashorc, and
climbing the village street | strollcd
along tho sandy moo" else I settled
myself with Il book On ., bench i'll IL cor
ner of tho cemetery, which was shelter
ed by the church tower from the west
end.
1t was a lovely spot, conducive to sad
ness and rcvery. The church tower
stood out against the autumn sky, over
which dark clouds were scurrying.
Crows, whose nests We're in the steople,
flew out with their hoarse carving, and
the shadow Of their large wings glided
over the scattered tombstones, almost
hidden i'll the grass.
