![]() ![]() The cliffs veered sharply southward from this point, fronting the unbroken force of the Atlantic winds and waves, and were shattered by them into a grim array of jutting points. The Public Whipping of Miss Marianne Locke, age sixteen, was scheduled to take place at seven in the morning on Friday, August the third, 1790, in the inner courtyard of Eden Castle, situated on the North Devon coast at the exact point where the Bristol Channel prepares to join the turbulence of the Atlantic Ocean. The secret of the entire world is whispered here at Eden Point in the tumultuous union of sea and land, cliff and air.Īnd for a very brief space, every heart is touched and melted with the sense of things divinely fair, immeasurably great, immeasurably sad. ![]() Pubhshed simultaneously in Canada by Longman Canada Limited, Toronto.
