Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from True and Other Stories It might have been yesterday, but in simple fact it was three hundred years ago, that something happened which has an important bearing on this story of the present. Antiquity is a great discourager of the sympathies: the centuries are apt to weigh like lead on an individual human sentiment. Yet we find it pleasant sometimes to throw off their weight, and thereby to discover that it is a mere feather in the scale as against the beating of a heart. I know that when I speak of Guy Wharton as having been alive and in love in the year 1587, you will feel a certain patronizing pity for him - because he is not alive now. So do I. But then it is possible that you will be interested, notwithstanding - because he was a lover. Would you like to hear what experience he had? I promise not to go through the history of those three hundred years. The story of Guy is merely the starting-point of my narrative.
