Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The French Procession: A Pageant of Great Writers My dear Vernon, - I offer you a little English volume on French literature. You liked a book of mine, lately, quite different, written in French; but you have really a right to this particular piece of work, such as it is, because I should have been with you in Italy this April, walking in your oliveyard and listening to your charming talk - gazing, too (after more than twenty years), at the remembered swell and fold of the Florentine hills - had I not been tied in Paris to my desk and my duty, since I had promised this very volume to Mr. Unwin some while ago. More than once, as I gazed out of window at the slate-capped towers of St. Francois Xavier and the formal esplanade of pollard plane-trees (where priests in long soutanes, nurses in beribboned caps, and ladies in mourning sedately take the air), often indeed, I have regretted the beautiful landscape where I might have walked with you; and it has been a satisfaction to me to weave at least your name into my work, remembering those old days in Florence, those times of our girlhood, when, with poor Eugene, we would pass whole afternoons in a passionate, a vehement discussion of French literature.
