This is the prequel to Return to Eden: The Wonderfilled Years.
It is a reflective auto-biography written in a whimsical manner about the author’s youthful years growing up in a difficult post-wartime environment.
Elegy’s writing style is marvellous as he takes us on a journey through the foggy ruins of time, with “countless memorials in towns and villages across the cold and colourless country”.
One man’s apology to his youthful years.
Extract from Return to Eden: The Wilderness Years:
England in the time of his boyhood was a cold and colourless country.
They had seen to that, the Autumn Men.
They who had been lifted high, the old men of his country and other countries, who in the autumn of their years, reflecting on the unfulfilled promise of their youth, and their failures as yet unredeemed, feeling as any old man adrift alone on a small boat, sails broken, oars lost, swept hopelessly onward towards the deafening roar of the approaching weir, might feel, decided that too few had sweetly and honourably been called.
So call out the young men, wide-eyed and brave of heart, to don uniform, bid sweethearts farewell and forfeit their future.
And murder in the name of God.
Until they too are harvested ‘neath the Autumn Men’s sickle.
And the lark song is stilled as passing bells are heard anew.
