Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Futurist Stories It was a glorious winter´s night. Through a blue haze one saw the ground, covered with snow, shining under the magical moon. And the trees of the forest were also covered with snow; great clusters glistened in their branches. Almost as light as day. Not a bleak light, but an enchanting one, which dazzled in the cold, brisk air. Into the woods walked the Spirit of Art. As he gazed at the surrounding beauty he grew sad, and wondered why he had never reproduced such splendor - the moon - the snow - Oh, he must try again - Tomorrow he would do better. Then came the Spirit of History and he too grew sad as he gazed into the quietude of the night. His hands were soiled with blood, with dark hideous crimes. And he asked why he had committed such deeds - with all this beauty around him. Why could he not have likened history to these woods where the snow was white. Tomorrow he would do better. And then came the Spirit of Philosophy and like the others he wondered why he had never been under the spell of the Moonbeams before - why had he filled the minds of men with entangled masses of dark thought, instead of teaching them the beauty, the enchantment of a night like this. Tomorrow he would do better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
