A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Then I saw, as in a vision, The whole world stretching with eager hands Towards a mystic figure, holly-crowned and rubicund, Which, from its torch, scattered on all the earth The fires of love and plenty. It was the Spirit of Christmas! Christmas was approaching. You knew it from a thousand signs and tokens beside the remarkably distinct intimation of the calendar with its twenty-fifth of December in red letters and its Christmas Day in Old English type. Old men knew it, for they shook their heads and grumbled at the cold and the weather. Young men knew it, and they smiled at forthcoming evening parties and friendly suppers. Young women knew it, and joined the young men in anticipation of balls and other opportunities of lovemaking; and the schoolboys knew it, and smacked their lips as dreams of plum-pudding, pantomimes and Christmas boxes disturbed the last few remaining days of their school term. Others knew it, to whom the approaching time of merrymaking1, of peace on earth and good will toward men brought no visions of happiness and joy to come. The poor shivered at the approach of the jolly king and remembered that for them there Were no plum-puddings, very little peace and but the mockery of good will.
