LibriVox recording of Manalive by G. K. Chesterton, read by
Ray Clare.
The flying blast struck London just where it scales the
northern heights, terrace above terrace, as precipitous as
Edinburgh. It was round about this place that some poet,
probably drunk, looked up astonished at all those streets
gone skywards, and (thinking vaguely of glaciers and roped
mountaineers) gave it the name of Swiss Cottage, which it
has never been able to shake off. At some stage of those
heights a terrace of tall gray houses, mostly empty and
almost as desolate as the Grampians, curved round at the
western end, so that the last building, a boarding
establishment called "Beacon House," offered abruptly to the
sunset its high, narrow and towering termination, like the
prow of some deserted ship. (Summary by Gilbert Keith
Chesterton)
