The future of the Welsh puddler passingpassjust now is not so pleasant .
During the whole of a dull , dark , and soundless day in the autumn of the year , when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens , I had been passingpassalone , on horseback , through a singularly dreary tract of country ; and at length foundfindmyself , as the shades of the evening drew on , within view of the melancholy House of Usher .
I confessconfessI was often temptedtempt, while they were passingpassbackwards and forwards on my body , to seize forty or fifty of the first that came in my reach , and dash them against the ground .
