Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lesson of the Master: The Death of the Lion; The Next Time, and Other Tales My clearest remembrance of in any provoking cause connected with the matter of the present volume applies, not to the composition at the head of my list - which owes that precedence to its greatest length and earliest date - but to the next in order, an effort embalmed, to fond memory, in a delightful association. I make the most of this passage of literary history - I like so, as I find, to recall it. It lives there for me in old Kensington days; which, though I look back at them over no such great gulf of years - "The Death of the Lion" first appeared but in 1894 - have already faded for me to the complexion of ever so long ago. It was of a Sunday afternoon early in the spring of that year : a young friend, a Kensington neighbour and an ardent man of letters, called on me to introduce a young friend of his own and to bespeak my interest for a periodical about to take birth, in his hands, on the most original "lines" and with the happiest omens. What omen could be happier, for instance, than that this infant recueil, joyously christened even before reaching the cradle, should take the name of The Yellow Book? - which so certainly would command for it the liveliest attention.
