Excerpt from The Prince De Ligne: A Gay Marshal of the Old RegimeSuch peace reigned here that I could but stretch myself on the grass and let my thoughts ¿oat on the sweet stream of the hours. The water lay, translucid, on a bed of dead leaves and red bricks, which gave it the prettiest shade one can imagine.I seemed to doze for some time when, suddenly, a quiet sound caused me to open my eyes. A man approached me: a man clothed in the costume of earlier days, his graceful figure surmounted by a countenance of rare charm. He had delicate lips, eyes that sparkled with refined goodness, a large forehead which passed, above, into a mass of belligerent and fantastic hair. Figure and face had a supple and youthful grace, although he must have been at least sixty years of age.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
