I Hush Gloom Quaintness Retreats Day Means Coveted

Back I liked the hush, the gloom, the quaintness of these retreats in the day; but I by no means coveted a night's repose on one of those wide and heavy beds: shut in, some of them, with doors of oak; shaded, others, with wrought old English hangings crusted with thick work, portraying effigies of strange flowers, and stranger birds, and strangest human beings,--all which would have looked strange, indeed, by the pallid gleam of moonlight.
Front Nappal szerettem ezt a titokzatos és néma félhomályt, de éjszaka a világért sem aludtam volna a széles ágyakban. Egyik-másik ágyat nehéz hímzéssel borított drapériák függönyözték el, némelyik ágynak meg függöny helyett tölgyfa ajtaja volt.
