gives a good idea of the house itself, but can convey none of the beauty
of the rivers, woods and mountains all round. No spot in the kingdom I
think, not even in the lovely Lake country, unites so many elements of
beauty as this part of Wales. The mountains are not very lofty,—even
glorious Cader where the giant Idris, (so says the legend) sat in the
rocky “chair” (_Cader_) on the summit and studied the stars,—is trifling
compared to Alpine height, and a molehill to Andes and Himalayas; yet is
its form, and that of all these Cambrian rocks, so majestic, and their
_tilt_ so great, that no one could treat them as merely hills, or liken
them to Irish mountains which resemble banks of rainclouds on the
horizon. The deep, true, purple heather and the emerald-green fern robe
these Welsh mountains in summer in regal splendour of colouring; and in
autumn wrap them in rich russet brown cloaks. Down between every chain
and ridge rush brooks, always bright and clear, and in many places
leaping into lovely waterfalls. The “broad and brawling Mawddach” runs
through all the valley from heights far out of sight, till, just below
Hengwrt, it meets the almost equally beautiful stream of the Wnion, and
the two together wind their way through the tidal estuary out into the
sea at “Aber-mawddach” or “Abermaw,”—in English “Barmouth,” eight miles
to the west. On both north and south of the valley and on the sides of
the mountains, are woods, endless woods, of oak and larch and Scotch
fir, interspersed with sycamore, wild cherry, horse-chestnut, elm,
holly, and an occasional beech. Never was there a country in which were
to be found growing freely and almost wild, so many different kinds of
trees, creating of course the loveliest wood-scenery and variety of
colouring. The oaks and elms and sycamores which grow in Hengwrt itself,
are the oldest and some of the finest in this part of Wales; and here
also flourish the largest laurels and rhododendrons I have ever seen
anywhere. The luxuriance of their growth, towering high on each side of
the avenue and in the shrubberies is a constant subject of astonishment
to our visitors. The blossoms of the rhodos are sometimes twenty or
twenty-five feet from the ground; and the laurels almost resemble forest
trees. It has been one of my chief pleasures here to prune and clip and
clear the way for these beautiful shrubs. Through the midst of them all,
from one end of the place to the other, rushes the dearest little brook
in the world, singing away constantly in so human a tone that over and
over again I have paused in my labours of saw and clippers, and said to
myself: “There _must_ be some one talking in that walk! It is a lady’s
voice, too! It _can’t_ be only the brook this time!” But the brook it
has always proved to be on further investigation.
Of the interior of this dear old home I shall not write now. It is
interesting from its age,—one of the oak-panelled rooms contains a bed
placed there at the dissolution of the neighbouring monastery of Cymmer
Abbey,—but it is not in the least a gloomy house; altogether the
reverse. The drawing-room commands a view to right and left of almost
the whole valley of the Mawddach for nine or ten miles; and just
opposite lies the pretty village of Llanelltyd, at the foot of the
wooded hills which rise up behind it to the heights of Moel Ispry and
Cefn Cam. It is a panorama of splendid scenery, not darkening the room,
but making one side of it into a great picture full of exquisite details
of old stone bridge and ruined abbey, rivers, woods, and rocks.
Among the objects in that wide view, and also in the still more
extensive one from my bedroom above, is the little ivy-covered church of
Llanelltyd; and below it a bit of ground sloping to the westering sun,
dotted over with grey and white stones where “the rude forefathers of
the hamlet sleep,” together with a few others who have been our friends
and neighbours. There, in that quiet enclosure, will, in all
probability, be the bourne of my long journey of life, with a grey
headstone for the “_Finis_” of the last chapter of the Book which I have
first lived, and now have written.
I hope that the reader, who perhaps may drive some day along the road
below, in the enjoyment of an autumn holiday in this lovely land, will
cast a glance upon that churchyard, and give a kindly thought to me when
I have gone to rest.
* * * * *
September, 1898.
The grey granite stone is standing already in Llanelltyd burying ground,
though my place beneath it still waits for me. The friend who made my
life so happy when I wrote the last pages of this book, and who had then
done so for thirty-four blessed years,—lies there, under the rose trees
and the mignonette; alone, till I may be laid beside her.
It would be some poor comfort to me in my loneliness to write here some
little account of Mary Charlotte Lloyd, and to describe her keen,
highly-cultivated intellect, her quick sense of humour, her gifts as
sculptor and painter (the pupil and friend of John Gibson and of Rosa
Bonheur); her practical ability and strict justice in the administration
of her estate; above all to speak of her character, “cast”—as one who
knew her from childhood said,—“in an heroic mould,” of fortitude and
loftiness; her absolute unselfishness in all things large and small. But
the reticence which belonged to the greatness of her nature made her
always refuse to allow me to lead her into the more public life whereto
my work necessarily brought me, and in her last sacred directions she
forbids me to commemorate her by any written record. Only, then, in the
hearts of the few who really knew her must her noble memory live.
I wrote the following lines to her some twenty-five years ago when
spending a few days away from her and our home in London. I found them
again after her death among her papers. They have a doubled meaning for
me now, when the time has come for me to need her most of all.
TO MARY C. LLOYD.
_Written in Hartley Combe, Liss, about 1873._
Friend of my life! Whene’er my eyes
Beat with sudden, glad surprise
On Nature’s scenes of earth and air
Sublimely grand, or sweetly fair,
I want you—Mary.
When men and women, gifted, free,
Speak their fresh thoughts ungrudgingly,
And springing forth, each kindling mind
Streams like a meteor in the wind,
I want you—Mary.
When soft the summer evenings close,
And crimson in the sunset rose,
Our Cader glows, majestic, grand,
The crown of all your lovely land,
I want you—Mary.
And when the winter nights come round,
To our “ain fireside,” cheerly bound,
With our dear Rembrandt Girl, so brown,
Smiling serenely on us down,
I want you—Mary.
_Now_,—while the vigorous pulses leap
Still strong within my spirit’s deep,
_Now_, while my yet unwearied brain
Weaves its thick web of thoughts amain,
I want you—Mary.
_Hereafter_, when slow ebbs the tide,
And age drains out my strength and pride,
And dim-grown eyes and trembling hand
No longer list my soul’s command,
I’ll want you—Mary.
In joy and grief, in good and ill,
Friend of my heart! I need you still;
My Playmate, Friend, Companion, Love,
To dwell with here, to clasp above,
I want you—Mary.
For O! if past the gates of Death
To me the Unseen openeth
Immortal joys to angels given,
Upon the holy heights of Heaven
I’ll want you—Mary!
* * * * *
God has given me two priceless benedictions in life;—in my youth a
perfect Mother; in my later years, a perfect Friend. No other gifts, had
I possessed them, Genius, or beauty, or fame, or the wealth of the
Indies, would have been worthy to compare with the joy of those
affections. To live in companionship, almost unbroken by separation and
never marred by a doubt or a rough word, with a mind in whose workings
my own found inexhaustible interest, and my heart its rest; a friend who
knew me better than any one beside could ever know me, and yet,—strange
to think!—could love me better than any other,—this was happiness for
which, even now that it is over, I thank God from the depths of my soul.
I thank Him that I have _had_ such a Friend. And I thank Him that she
died without prolonged suffering or distress, with her head resting on
my breast and her hand pressing mine; calm and courageous to the last.
Her old physician said when all was over: “I have seen many, a _great_
many, men and women die; but I never saw one die so bravely.”
It has been possible for me through the kindness of my friend’s sister,
to whom Hengwrt now belongs, to obtain for my remaining months or years
a lease of this dear old house and beautiful grounds; and my winters of
entire solitude, and summers, when a few friends and relations gather
round me, glide rapidly away. I am still struggling on, as my friend
bade me (literally with her dying breath), working for the cause of the
science-tortured brutes, and I have even spoken again in public, and
written many pamphlets and letters for the press. I hope, as Tennyson
told me to do, to “fight the good fight” quite to the end. But there is
a price which every aged heart perforce must pay for the long enjoyment
of one soul-satisfying affection. When that affection is lost, it must
be evermore lonely.
