The Old Manse (From "Mosses from an Old Manse")

By Hawthorne Nathaniel

"The Old Manse" is a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, set in an old parsonage in New England. It tells the story of a married couple who live in the house and the ghosts and memories that haunt it. The manse is described as a symbol of tradition and the passing of time, with elements of sorrow and isolation.
