Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Soul of Paris and Other Essays In the opinions of many the absence in this book of what is called timeliness, - that eternal treating of something of the immediate moment, and, too, usually something expensive, useful, and ugly, - will be deemed a defect. But for this lacking I am not sorry, and I continue to believe that it is good at times to turn from the incessant making of mills and goods and railways and money, from the noise of tramcars and automobiles, from the sensations of politics and politicians, from the bruits of the latest scandal or war or catastrophe, and give a little time to contemplating the stars, or watching the bees, or listening to the songs of the seas. As I worked upon the book I saw again in the eyes of memory the broad deserts, the sunlit tropic lands, the sometimes wild and sometimes smiling seas, the fair and beautiful islands, the great cities and their lesser but more lovely sisters, the far countries, and the strange peoples, of whom I have written a little in its pages.
