Excerpt from Short Stories and PoemsIt was one of those cool, damp evenings in the early Fall, that Aunt Barbara and I felt the need of a fire. We found ourselves seated in the library beside a cheer ful blaze; it seemed that we did not partake of its cheerfulness however, for from some cause we knew not why, both were bordering on a melancholy state. Could it be the season I wondered, and my thoughts naturally reverted to William Cullen Bryant's beautiful poem, The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year. We had sat so long without speaking, that the very silence grew embarrassing. I glanced at my aunt to see if I could divine her thoughts. Ah me, they seemed so far away, that even my presence had no effect upon her.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
