Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rose of Life The poet was a bird of night. He loved the night in all its aspects - in a crowded room, in the glare of the lamps, wherever men and women congregate, wherever the play is highest, the dance wildest, pleasure´s pace fastest; or in the lovely lonely places, far from the human herd, in the mystic beauty of earth and sea, half revealed under the stars. The poet loved the night in its best and its worst aspects. The poet considered it a part of his birthright to love all violent contrasts, all fierce extremes, to strain all the chords of the lyre almost to snapping point. Here on this lonely shore at Beaulieu, between midnight and morning, he was steeping his soul in Nature´s most soothing influences, basking in moonlight and silence, after the glare and the clamour of the crowded gambling-house, where the women´s gaudy clothes and painted faces against a background of crimson and gold made his senses ache with their harsh discords of colour, and hurt him even more than the vulgar voices and jarring laughter. Yet the vicious atmosphere had its attractions, and the silent slope and the sleeping sea would have palled upon him without the charm of contrast.
