Books with title Enchanted Ground. an Episode in the Life of a Young Man

Excerpt from Enchanted Ground: An Episode in the Life of a Young ManThither go the young men, with the hope and dream of the future in their eyes. They come down to her out of the land of hills and from the broad plains, irresistibly drawn by her fair promises; and there is no going back. While Youth lasts, the City does not release them from her spells.Her spells are Ambition and Opportunity. It is these that make light for Youth the burden of labour, that cause sacrifice and hardship to be welcomed, that strengthen him to face disappointment, neglect, and loneliness. Pleasure also has her palace there, and sings her magical song in the ears of Youth. In the garish, never-sleeping streets of night she walks abroad, attired with witcheries, casting a glamour upon his eyes. And in the City, far from the Land of Hills, here, where the ties of the old life are relaxed or broken, what shall restrain the feet of Youth from following after?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Where the rivers meet the sea stands the City. The great ships come to her from the four comers of the earth; they wait, straining at the leash, innumerable, along her proud shores. Over bridges that hang, Hke dream-phantoms, high above the waters, through tunnels that plunge deep below the waters, where no living thing ever moved before, she draws in her countless hosts of toil. The sun, lifting his head out of the deep, hangs shields of gold upon the fretted windows of her soaring towers, and flings his javelins of splendour against her domes and pinnacles. In her teeming streets all nations of men traflfic with one another. The rich and the hungry poor are jostled together. Poverty and nakedness stare with wild eyes from her noisome alleys; wealth such as the Orient never knew is daily amassed, daily dispended, in her markets. It is a City of Power, a City of consuming A mbition, a Babel that would ravish heaven of its secret and silence. It is a City of Youth. Like the fabled bird of A rabia, she renews herself in the ashes of her past.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
