    Example in this ebookI.Where two fair paths, deep floweredAnd leaf-embowered,Creep East and West across a World concealed,Which shall he take who journeys far afield?II.Canst thou then say, "I go,"Or "I forego"?What turns thee East or West, as thistles blow?Is fair more fair than fair—and dost thou know?III.Turn to the West, unblessedAnd uncaressed;Turn to the East, and, seated at the FeastThou shalt find Life, or Death from Life released.IV.And thou who lovest bestA maid dark-tressed,And passest others by with careless eye,Canst thou tell why thou choosest? Tell, then; why?V.So when thy kiss is givenOr half-forgiven,Why should she tremble, with her face flame-hot,Or laugh and whisper, "Love, I tremble not"?VI.Or when thy hand may catchA half-drawn latch,What draws thee from the door, to turn and passThrough streets unknown, dim, still, and choked with grass?VII.What! Canst thou not foreseeThe Mystery?Heed! For a Voice commands thy every deed!And it hath sounded. And thou needs must heed!To be continue in this ebook..................................................................................

    Robert William Chambers

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
