Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heart's Desire It was the day before Christmas. Yet there was little winter in this sweet, thin air up on the Capitan divide. OS to the left the Patos Mountains showed patches of snow, and the top of Carrizo was yet whiter, and even a portion Of the highest peak of the Capi tans carried a blanket Of white; but all the lower levels were red - brown, calm, complete, unchanging, like the whole aspect of this far-away and finished country, whereto had come, long ago, many Span iards in search Of wealth and dreams; and more recently certain anglo-saxons, also dreaming, who sought in a stolen hiatus Of the continental con quest nothing of more value than a deep and sweet Oblivion. It was a Christmas-tide different enough from that of the States toward which Curly pointed. We looked eastward, looked again, turned back for one last look before we tightened the cinches and started down the winding trail which led through the foothills along the flank of the Patos Mountains, and so at last into the town of Heart's Desire.

Even the stuffy red plush seat and the air of the smoky over-heated car were preferable to the clammily-cold atmosphere without. He had walked a block in the half-frozen slush, and he lifted first one and then the other of his well-shod feet, inspecting their damp soles. Not wet through, was his comment.

Download or read book The Land of Heart s Desire written by William Butler Yeats and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land of Heart's Desire W. B. (William Butler) Yeats THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE SCENE.-A room with a hearth on the floor in the middle of a deep alcove to the Right. There are benches in the alcove and a table; and a crucifix on the wall. The alcove is full of a glow of light from the fire. There is an open door facing the audience to the Left, and to the left of this a bench. Through the door one can see the forest. It is night, but the moon or a late sunset glimmers through the trees and carries the eye far off into a vague, mysterious World. MAURTEEN BRUIN, SHAWN BRUIN, and BRIDGET BRUIN sit in the alcove at the table or about the fire. They are dressed in the costume of some remote time, and near them sits an old priest, FATHER HART. He may be dressed as a friar. There is food and drink upon the table. MARY BRUIN stands by the door reading a book. If she looks up she can see through the door into the wood. BRIDGET. Because I bid her clean the pots for supperShe took that old book down out of the thatch;She has been doubled over it ever since.We should be deafened by her groans and moansHad she to work as some do, Father Hart;Get up at dawn like me and mend and scour;Or ride abroad in the boisterous night like you, The pyx and blessed bread under your arm. SHAWN. Mother, you are too cross. BRIDGET. You've married her, And fear to vex her and so take her part. MAURTEEN (to FATHER HART)It is but right that youth should side with youthShe quarrels with my wife a bit at times, And is too deep just now in the old bookBut do not blame her greatly; she will growAs quiet as a puff-ball in a treeWhen but the moons of marriage dawn and dieFor half a score of times.

Download or read book Alien Hearts written by Guy de Maupassant and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alien Hearts was the last book that Guy de Maupassant finished before his death at the early age of forty-three. It is the most original and psychologically penetrating of his several novels, and the one in which he attains a truly tragic perception of the wounded human heart. André Mariolle is a rich, handsome, gifted young man who cannot settle on what to do with himself. Madame de Burne, a glacially dazzling beauty, wants Mariolle to attend her exclusive salon for artists, composers, writers, and other intellectuals. At first Mariolle keeps his distance, but then he hits on the solution to all his problems: caring for nothing in particular, he will devote himself to being in love; Madame de Burne will be his everything. Soon lover and beloved are equally lost within a hall of mirrors of their common devising. Richard Howard’s new English translation of this complex and brooding novel—the first in more than a hundred years—reveals the final, unexpected flowering of a great French realist’s art.

Download or read book Say What Your Longing Heart Desires written by Niloofar Haeri and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the 1979 revolution, the Iranian government set out to Islamize society. Muslim piety had to be visible, in personal appearance and in action. Iranians were told to pray, fast, and attend mosques to be true Muslims. The revolution turned questions of what it means to be a true Muslim into a matter of public debate, taken up widely outside the exclusive realm of male clerics and intellectuals. Say What Your Longing Heart Desires offers an elegant ethnography of these debates among a group of educated, middle-class women whose voices are often muted in studies of Islam. Niloofar Haeri follows them in their daily lives as they engage with the classical poetry of Rumi, Hafez, and Saadi, illuminating a long-standing mutual inspiration between prayer and poetry. She recounts how different forms of prayer may transform into dialogues with God, and, in turn, Haeri illuminates the ways in which believers draw on prayer and ritual acts as the emotional and intellectual material through which they think, deliberate, and debate.

Download or read book The Dry Heart written by Natalia Ginzburg and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: “I shot him between the eyes.” As the tale—a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness—proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Defiant Hearts At all events, the great lady did not want to die and she followed with touching docility the direc tions of her medical adviser. The doctor, expected to be ready at a moment's notice when summoned to the castle, could have no general practice. Be sides, in the little town there were already four other physicians who scarcely earned their daily bread. As to the remuneration for attendance and daily consultations at the ducal court, it was not dazzlingly large; her-serene Highness paid about seven hun dred and fifty dollars annually for herself and her entire household, but in addition to this her dear May had free lodging, so and so many cords of beech wood, and also several orders of the ducal house. But he was satisfied with this, since he knew well that he would have to wear out more than one pair of shoes to earn his salary as aplain practitioner. He valued home and fuel above income, and lived, honest and upright and happy, with his wife, who fully shared her husband's opinions.
