Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on My Books And yet it is not so. But the erring magistrate may plead in excuse the misleading nature of the evidence. The picture of life, there as here, is drawn with the same elaboration of detail, coloured with the same tints. Only in the cruel serenity of the sky, under the merciless brilliance of the sun, the dazzled eye misses the delicate detail, sees only the strong outlines, while the colours, in the steady light, seem crude and without shadow. Nevertheless it is the same picture. And there is a bond between us and that humanity so far away. I am speaking here of men and women - not of the charming and graceful phantoms that move about in our mud and smoke and are softly luminous with the radiance of all our virtues; that are possessed of all refinements, of all sensibilities, of all wisdom - but, being only phantoms, possess no heart. The sympathies of those are (probably) with the immortals: with the angels above or the devils below. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
