from Rookwood, Vol.of: A Romance
Depending from a hook, fixed in one of the stone pillars previously described, hung a rack of old timeoutofmind hatchments, seemingly placed there in solemn mockery of the sunken greatness, the fall whereof they so eloquently bespoke.
Stained and tarnished was their once flaunting emblazonry tattered and threadbare their once spotless quarterings even their tri umphant Resurgam was obliterated and efl'aced, as if Hope itself had been annihilated.
