The Prophet

Kahlil Gibran

Each generation discovers anew the poetry and the wisdom of the Prophet, as he addresses twenty seven topics of our daily lives, such as this one, on houses:
"I wish I could gather your houses into my hand, and like a sower scatter them in forest and meadow. I wish the valleys were your streets, and the green paths your alleys, that you might seek one another through vineyards, and come with the fragrance of the earth in your garments. 
    And tell me, what have you in these houses? And what is it you guard with fastened doors? Have you peace, the quiet urge that reveals your power?     
    Have you beauty? For beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror. 
    Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house as a guest, and then becomes the host, and then a master? 
    And though of magnificence and splendor, your house shall not hold your secret nor shelter your longing. For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night."

Holtermann's Nugget

When mining magnate, pioneer photographer and public benefactor, Bernhardt Holtermann died prematurely at the height of his success, the speculation and rumours started.

Some who knew Bernhardt closely had guessed the true nature of his relationship with Victoria, his children's beautiful governess. Had his wife, Harriet, tired of being patient with her husband's attentions to Victoria, or had Victoria tired of waiting fore the divorce which would release her lover to become her husband?

This historical novel is based on the life of the successful 19th century miner, businessman, parliamentarian and photographer, Bernhardt Holtermann, who came to Sydney as a young man.

My great grandfather, the late Bernhardt Otto Holtermann, was a remarkable man, who prided himself on being an Australian. Holtermann's gold was not only the huge nugget  that was extracted at Hill End. The real gold was the legacy he left future Australians, a history in photography that really is priceless.
