In the Roar of the Sea

The Roar of the Sea by Sabine Baring-Gould is a mystical vignette about the lives of Cornish fishermen Judith Trevisa and her father. Excerpt: «Sitting in the parsonage garden, in a white frock, with a pale green sash about her waist, leaning back against the red-brick wall, her glowing copper hair lit by the evening sun, was Judith Trevisa. She was tossing guelder-roses into the air; some dozens were strewn about her feet on the gravel, but one remained of the many she had plucked and thrown and caught, and thrown and caught again for a sunny afternoon hour.»
