The "green" of the neighbouring hamlet of Falkland retains its ancient stocks. Henstridge, a large village 7 m. There is a 15th-cent. altar-tomb in the chancel under a carved and coloured canopy, with two effigies. The arms that adorn the tomb are those of Carent and Stourton.

Where we fail is for want of Homers, not Agamemnons. Carent quia vale sacro, you know." "I recall the quotation. But I don't think I quite follow you." "Well, in plain language, we have no good writers in London who make a specialty of that kind of thing. Our common reporter is a dull dog; every story that he has to tell is spoilt in the telling.

"And what did he answer?" cried he of the flaxen wig, while all of us crowded round the speaker, with the curiosity every one felt in the authorship of a work then exciting the most universal and eager interest.

These things are not the less poetry, quia carent vate sacro. They are the episodes of that cyclic poem written by Time upon the memories of men.
