Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Woman Who Lost Him, and Tales of the Army Frontier To the few of us still living whose high privilege it is to have familiarly known the early work of the author of this book (the Josephine Clifford of Bret Harte´s Over-land Monthly) this later fruitage of her mind will address itself with a peculiarly tender salutation, as of a voice out of the twilight, saying: "Be of good cheer - the dark is not yet, and all is well." It is a long interval, truly, but not a barren, for into it has been crowded much of living and of adventure - in other words, of thinking and doing, for thought is life and to do is to dare; the brave alone challenge attention of the gods. Our author´s life, of which this book is the evensong under the harvest moon, has been lived in the freaking gleams and brooding glooms that seem never to lie along the paths of the ungifted - children of the dread, wisely content in their encompassment of gray. A great writer has said that life is a farce to him who thinks, a tragedy to him who feels. But he who most deeply thinks most keenly feels; so his are the high lights and the black shadows; and however he move among them - with passive acceptance or dissenting activity - his life is more than a life: it is a career. Its every feature is "out of the common," and all its mutations are memorable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
