  • Lady MĂ©chante: Or Life as It Should Be; Being Divers Precious Episodes in the Life of a Naughty Nonpareille; A Farce in Filigree

    Gelett Burgess

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Jan. 17, 2018)
    Excerpt from Lady MĂ©chante: Or Life as It Should Be; Being Divers Precious Episodes in the Life of a Naughty Nonpareille; A Farce in FiligreeI shoot my arrow into the air, but I shall find it, at last, in the heart of a friend. For we are of the gar gayle's kin, you and I. We know that there is a re verse of beauty, not ugliness, which is the inverse. We have studied its laws, which few have known since the spirit of wonder died from men. And as with art, so with literature men can stand on their heads, but they may not get through the looking-glass. Let 's draw nearer modern music, perhaps, and try in some such way for emotions, though they be thin and frail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
