The Old Ruined Abbey (from an old Victorian engraving) - a romantic ruin in the moonlight

---

Between trees and over thick undergrowth we see the ruins of an ancient stone abbey, with the sunset shining through the mullioned windows. The day had been sullen; but towards the decline, The sun sent a stream of wild light up the pine. Darkly denting the red light reveal'd at its back, The old ruin'd abbey rose roofless and black. This engraving is taken from a Victorian book of gothic poetry by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, and was published in 1882; it is out of copyright and hence offered royalty-free.
