Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fireside Sphinx There is a sweet and sunny corner of the Ely sian fields, where drowse and play, and drowse and play forever, a little band of cats, whose names, im perishable as their masters', are household words today. We know them well, these gentle furry ghosts, lifted to immortality by the human hands that fondled them in life. We know the white Muezza whom Mohammed loved, and Bouhaki of Thebes, proudest Of his proud race, and Dick Whittington's thrice famous cat that made his master's fortune. We know this sleek and shining tortoise-shell, for she is Selima, fair and ill-fated, whom the glint of gold-fish tempted to her grave. This pensive pussy with clear topaz eyes shared Petrarch's heart with Laura; this splendid beast, red as a fox and stately as a lion, is Chateaubriand 's Micetto, the sovereign Pontiff's gift; and his no less arrogant companion sat, it is whispered, by the side of Wolsey, when the butcher's son was Chan cellor of England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Smile of the Sphinx Who have inspired the better pages of this book; to you who wear - not the smile of the Sphinx, inscrutable, impenetrable, unchanging - but the genial smile of friendliness and good-fellowship, unashamed of its sincerity and candor; the smile that reflects heart and soul from the crystalline alembic of a mind distilling none but fresh pure thoughts, leaving no riddle to be solved, but prompting the question: "Why are there not more in the world like you?"

Book excerpt: The animal in question is the pet cat and this book is a history of the cat in Western literature. The author tells us that it was not until the story of Noah that a cat appeared in literature. The ark was so overrun with mice and rats that Noah passed his hand over a lion's head, who sneezed out a cat. From representations in Egyptian hieroglyphics of 6000BC to the time of writing the cat has been a constant companion to many literary figures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of the Sphinx: A Novel A story of true love needs no formal introduction, just as good wine needs no bush. My only excuse for a preface is the fact that this particular romance deals more or less with the occult sciences, and it may interest the reader to know something about the history of magic and the in uence it has exerted in the world. In an age of science it seems strange that magic, astrology, alchemy, spiritism, and kindred things, should have any votaries among serious-minded people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from And the Sphinx Spoke HE Sphinx s'quatted in the middle of the Earth, and looked into infinite Space and across eter nal Time. The shadows of Life and Death danced weird, fantastic chiaroscuro dances upon his brow, and Truth, half-goddess, half-star, glittered in his eyes. The Centuries one by one knelt in awe before him, and passed on. And the Earth, weary, deluded Seeker, lamented in endless monotone: The Sphinx alone knows. He has gauged the mystery of Things.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sphinx's Children and Other People's Once to all things comes their hour. The black column of basalt quivers to its heart with one keen lightning thrill that vindicates its kin to the electric flash without; the granite clifl' loses one atom from its bald front, and every other atom quails before the dumb shiver of gravitation and shifts its place; the breathing, breathless marble, which a sculptor has rescued from its primeval sleep, and, repeating after God, though with stammering and insufficient lips, the great drama of Paradise, makes a man out of dust, once, once, in the deadness of its beauty, that marble thrills with magnetic life, drinks its maker's soul, re peats the Paradisiac amen, and owns that it is good. Yea, greater miracle of transcendental truth, once. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sphinx and Other Poems The Sphinx I Had a dream in the night. Waking, how strange, it seem'd! If I recall it aright, This is the dream I dream'd. I know not how or why, But I walk'd in the desert alone; And ever the wind went by With a moan like a human moan. Darkness hung o'er the world, Only I noticed soon A banner of cloud unfurl'd Over a phantom moon. And I wist not whence I came, Nor whither my footsteps sped, In that land without a name, That country of the dead. Then, sudden, a moonbeam burst Over the dismal place, And I saw, as one accurs'd, The Sphinx's great stone face; Where cold, austere, sublime. Since first the ages ran, She watches the flight of time And the tragedy of man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
