Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fall of Ug: A Masque of Fear It is incononsable that our grove should not always have been the meeting place extraordinary of the men who occupied the country roundabout. Our lace-hung, purple-coated trees were to the first men who knew them as awesomely venerable as they are to us. Always they must have played the patriarchs to every moving creature. The yester men knew their appeal A cycle can have brought no change in that appeal, but only in men´s progress toward interpretation. I believe that earnestness and even periodicity marked the coming to this grove of yesterdays pretenders to its mastery; that then, as now, men courted witness everlasting to the best deed that they knew. And who can doubt which deed it was the yester people called their best? All early records of man´s melancholy worship show him struggling to appease the Terrible. What first brought men into this temple grove except some sober ceremony to ease the common curse some rite by which they sought to relegate Old Fear. Our trees hove gated on immemorial exorcisms meant to set men´s spirits free. For us today they stay the snuffing blasts; they let us strike the Hints of brotherhood to start our splendid flicker in the mist of dread. But those men of yesterday - they also had their hopeful flints. What was their magic like? How did they cozen or make war on Fear? What might the trees remember if devoutly importuned? By light of moon, on wind-swept mom and in the solitude of rain I teased them for the tale. At length the red mothers could no more deny a child the thing he begged. When I had turned the vision into stumbling words, Perlèt I called - Perlèt, who hearing with the blessed ear, sings in the sweeter key - and he sat with me and all the things we witnessed wrote he down in language of the soul. Our joy lies in the sharing of the tale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
