Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Marie Madeleine: Countess of La Fayette Without depreciating the value and interest of our own age, distinguished as it is for freedom of thought and feeling, it is surely permissible to look with absorbing pleasure backward through the centuries to that period considered in all the history of the world as one of the richest and most picturesque. And for the refreshment and encouragement of our spirits we may also be allowed to analyse the actions and motives of those in that remote day who lived richly; to probe reverently into the deepest corners of their souls for the hidden fundamental fountains of human sensation and sentiment For, in spite of our level of twentieth century morality and intellect, we may - if we can but succeed in turning their soul faces towards us and understanding them - still learn many lessons from these women of the seventeenth century: from her who said: "One is unhappy, because one is ignorant!" or from that other, who, in the midst of physical suffering and mental anguish, looked out at the world with eyes that saw nevertheless all its beauty and wonder and mystery as she exclaimed: "It is enough just to have lived!"
