Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wings of the Dove Her father's life, her sister's, her own, that of her two lost brothers - the whole history of their house had the effect of some fine florid, voluminous phrase, say even a musical, that dropped first into words, into notes, with out sense, and then, hanging unfinished, into no words, no notes at all. Why should a set of people have been put in motion, on such a scale and with such an air of being equipped for a profitable journey, only to break down without an accident, to stretch themselves in the way side dust without a reason? The answer to these questions was not in Chirk Street, but the questions themselves bristled, there, and the girl's repeated pause before the mirror and the chimney-place might have represented her nearest approach to an escape from them. Was it not in fact the partial escape from this 'worst' in which she was steeped to be able to make herself out again as agreeable to see? She stared into the tarnished glass too hard indeed to be staring at her beauty alone. She readjusted the poise of her black, closely feathered hat; retouched, beneath it, the thick fall of her dusky hair; kept her eyes, aslant, no less on her beautiful averted than on her beautiful presented oval. She was dressed altogether in black, which gave an even tone, by contrast, to her clear face and made her hair more harmoniously dark. Outside, on the balcony, her eyes showed as blue within, at the mirror. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wings of Desire SO he usually thought. Yet to-night he had his doubts, for secretly, while Willie waltzed, Peter was wrestling with the great problem of whether it is wise to cry peace where there is no peace; whether to hide, to cover up evil, leads a man any way on the road to cure; whether, in fact, it isn't better to drag things out of their hiding-places - and look at 'em. Thus Peter Westlake had ceased for a time to be an Englishman, while his round pink cheeks grew redder and the one front lock which had escaped the brilliantine waved over his forehead like a pennon. He was a cherub with a brow and the grey on his temples was spreading, but all the time he was longing to testify to the folly of a lawyer's clerk who had tried to do good. He recognised to-night that all he had ever done was to cheat the clock a bit, by keeping these fellows sober for an hour at a time, not knowing that whatever you've got a thirst for you had better go drink, so as to learn the taste of the cup.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wings of the Dove, Vol. 2 Really menaced that boon. If Kate had consented to drive away with him and alight at his house there would probably enough have occurred for them, at the foot of his steps, one of those strange instants be tween man and woman that blow upon the red spark, the spark of conflict, ever latent in the depths of pas sion. She would have shaken her head - oh sadly, divinely on the question of coming in; and be, though doing all justice to her refusal, would have yet felt his eyes reach further into her own than a possible word at such a time could reach. This would have meant the suspicion, the dread of the shadow, of an adverse will. Lucky therefore in the actual case that the scant minutes took another turn and that by the half-hour she did in spite of everything contrive to spend with him Kate showed so well how she could deal with things that maddened. She seemed to ask him, to beseech him, and all for his better comfort, to leave her, now and henceforth, to treat them in her own way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Logs crackled cheerfully. Gleams of light danced over the dull beauty of the Persian carpet, brightened the subdued glitter of the coffee service which stood near the fireplace, even flung an evanescent radiance upon the books which lined the walls from fireplace to long windows, from floor to ceiling, producing an effect which made the room a place of delight, a place for quiet hours, with an answer to any mood, a room for morning, for eve ning, for all seasons, never failing in its charm, never disappointing in its variety. It was the place where Mrs. Muir and her daughter lived. Here they read their morning letters, planned their days, met before luncheon, met for tea. Here they sat upon such evenings as Olive chanced to be at home. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Wings of the Dove Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Henry James and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wings of the Dove, Vol. 1 "The wings of the dove," published in 1902, represents to my memory a very old - if I shouldn't perhaps rather say a very young - motive; I can scarce remember the time when the situation on which this log-drawn fiction mainly rests was not vividly present to me. The idea, reduced to its essence, is that a of young person conscious of a great capacity for life, but early stricken and doomed, condemned to die under short respite, while also enamoured of the world; aware moreover of the condemnation and passionately desiring to "put in" before extinction as many of the finer vibrations as possible, and so achieve, however briefly and brokenly, the sense of having lived. Long had I turned it over, standing off from it, yet coming back to it; convinced of what might be done with it, yet seeing the theme as formidable. The image so figured would be, at best, but half the matter; the rest would be all the picture of the struggle involved, the adventure brought about, the gain recorded or the loss incurred, the precious experience some how compassed. These things, I had from the first felt, would require much working-out; that indeed was the case with most things worth working at all; yet there are subjects and subjects, and this one seemed particularly to bristle. It was formed, I judged, to make the wary adventurer walk round and round it - it had in fact a charm that invited and mystified alike that attention; not being somehow what one thought of as a "frank" subject, after the fashion of some, with its elements well in view and its whole character in its face. It stood there with secrets and compartments, with possible treacheries and traps; it might have a great deal to give, but would probably ask for equal services in return, and would collect this debt to the last shilling.
