"There was something mystic in her air, A something that bade us to come and share Her lonely and lovely reveries, And stand where she stood, and gaze where she sees."

Notes

"Kilmeny of the Orchard" is a novel written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author best known for creating "Anne of Green Gables." The story revolves around Eric Marshall, a young man who becomes a teacher in the rural community of Lindsay. One day, while exploring an old orchard, Eric stumbles upon a hidden garden and discovers Kilmeny Gordon, a mysterious and enchanting young woman. Kilmeny is deaf and mute, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the narrative. As Eric gets to know Kilmeny, a deep and tender connection develops between them, exploring themes of love, communication, and understanding. Montgomery's lyrical prose and vivid descriptions capture the beauty of nature and the complexities of human emotions in this enchanting tale.
