Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Denys of Auxerre: A Drama The story of Denys l´Auxerrois as told by Walter Pater in his Imaginary Portraits forms the foundation of this play. Denys, the central figure, though of obscure origin, had come by reason of his beauty and personal charm to represent in the popular imagination the genius of a new age, of which the accepted emblem was a Roman wine-flask found enclosed in an ancient coffin of stone. From this delicate bit of green glass there seemed to flow fresh and vitalizing influences, like that old-world joie-de-vivre of which scattered echoes linger faintly in classic song. There followed, too, seasons of exceptional mildness and unexampled plenty; in the arts a wonderful power and inventiveness; in the common relations of life great gladness and good fellowship. The actors in the first scene of the drama come fresh from a masque of Bacchus and Ariadne, in which the principal parts had been taken by Denys, No-man´s son, and Ariane, daughter of the Lord of Auxerre. The play relates the sequel and must be left to explain itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
