Basil
Paperback
(Platanus Publishing March 25, 2020)
"I have founded the main event out of which this story springs,on a fact within my own knowledge. In afterwards shaping thecourse of the narrative thus suggested, I have guided it, as oftenas I could, where I knew by my own experience, or by experiencerelated to me by others, that it would touch on something real andtrue in its progress. My idea was, that the more of the Actual I couldgarner up as a text to speak from, the more certain I might feel ofthe genuineness and value of the Ideal which was sure to spring outof it. Fancy and Imagination, Grace and Beauty, all those qualitieswhich are to the work of Art what scent and colour are to the flower,can only grow towards heaven by taking root in earth. Is not thenoblest poetry of prose fiction the poetry of every-day truth?"
