Excerpt from Legends of the Library at Lilies, Vol. 1 of 2

A2unto the gentler senses. These edifices have, for many centuries, been no more; but, on the site of the first mentioned of the two, standeth a small mansion, of Tudor architecture, bearing still its ancient name. Of the monastery little memorial, beyond the name, remains; save only that under a small enclosed space, ere While its cemetery, now a wilderness of flowers, the bones of the monks repose. Two lines of artificial slope to the westward mark the bound aries of the pleasaunce, where they took their recreation, and cultivated their lentils and fruits; and a range of thickly-walled cellar still retains the same destination and office as when it furnished to those holy men their more gener ous materials of refection.
