Présentation de l'éditeur

There is a land where Time no count can keep, Where works of men imperishable seem; Where through deaths barren solitude doth gleam Undying hope for them that sow and reap :Y ea, land of life where death is but a deep Warm slumber, a communicable dream, Where from the silent grave far voices stream Of those nho tell their secrets in their sleep. Land of the palm-tree and the pyramid, Land of sweet waters from a mystic urn, Land of sure rest where suns shine on for ever, I left thee in thy sands a heart was hid, My life, my love, were cast upon thy river, A nd, lo !to seek Osiris I return. H. D. R.
