Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flight From the Cross The evening had been a great success. The Master was in good form, and before midnight had delivered himself of three brilliant aphorisms, one on the temperature and two on militarism. On Thursdays the Master received his friends and others who were of the same way of thinking as himself. What subjects these were on which they thought alike it would be difficult to define. However, they were expecting the Master to write a book which would explain all this clearly and precisely. In fact, it was rumoured that the book had actually been written - a book reconciling the teaching of the Church with modern culture. When he happened to be in good form, which was when he found himself in the company of young and thoughtful girls, his friends foresaw passages of the coming book in his brilliant improvisations; usually reserved, with coldly gleaming, keen, greenish eyes, at such moments he was transfigured; passionate, inspired words flew from his mouth like impetuous birds, which words formed the subject of conversation in his set for a long time, and were sometimes even reported in a newspaper. But whether they were really passages from the coming book about Christ, no one knew for certain. The Master lived a solitary and poverty-stricken life; at times, doubtless, he was in great difficulties, but he never complained. In his workroom there hung over the writing-table a large crucifix of cypress wood - the gift of a monk of Athens, before the war. All the rooms, and even the hall, were crammed with books, as high as the ceiling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

But Terence was delighted to be noticed. He was panting SO hard that his small red tongue lolled out. He was just losing his first teeth. He had been digging in the garden for a gopher, and the dirt clung to his long hair SO that he looked as if he had a moustache. Altogether his air was rakish and disreputable for one really so young.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flight of the Eagle Tms tale, in spite of its title, is not a romance, but an actual historic episode, told with hardly a freer use of the historical imagination than is employed by the more pcpu lar and picturesque of our professed historians. There is, however, this difierence between my method and theirs, viz. That while they write directly, I aim at a similar result indirectly through a certain dramatization. The same method has been adopted, I think very efiectively, by Carlyle, at times, in his history of Frederick the Great.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blue Cross: An Allegory One afternoon, late in autumn, a stranger was seen walking down a dusty road that leads from a seacoast town into the heart of France. As he passed through the villages and hamlets, older men and women paused in their work and studied the stranger. A mass of snow-white hair fell from his well-shaped head. His eyes, well you could almost guess that they were blue! And did not the people notice that he was strikingly tall? At times he halted at a town-pump for a drink of fresh water. He spoke little French and would tarry just long enough to say "Hello!" to the boys and girls that crowded about to touch his large hand and to look into his kind blue eyes. So, when he left, they watched him for a moment - every one of them - then ran to their play and forgot him. They did not know whom they had entertained that day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Finding of the Cross From the east, south, and west the city was im pregnable, being surrounded by deep valleys, and by reason of the precipices to them belonging, on both sides. 1 Its walls overlooked the ravine formed by the Cedron, the field of Haceldama, and the valleys of Gehenna and Hinnom. The existence of these natural barriers also made impossible any growth of the city in these directions; but towards the north it was otherwise, for here the mountain gradually shelved towards Golgotha, Gareb, and Bezetha. Hence it was here, especially on Acra, that new quarters began to spring up, calling also for the construction of new fortifications; such was the so-called second wall built by Ezechias, and the third wall, raised by Herod Agrippa (of this last we shall have no more to say, as it was erected after the death of Christ); it was also this Side Of the city which had to bear the onslaughts Of the enemies of Israel, whether Assyrians or Romans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foot of the Cross: Or the Sorrows of Mary This Treatise was sketched for the first time at St. Wilfrid's in the summer of 1847, more than ten years ago. It has however been several times revised, and more than once entirely recast. It was not however finally settled in its present shape until the spring of 1855; for not till then was the Author satisfied with the consistency of our Lady's position throughout, nor with its adaptation to the requirements of scholastic theology. The Author has had the completed Trea'tise by him for some time, as the stage of preparation, in which his materials were for a work on the Passion, rendered it necessary for him to ascertain, how much of that ground would be occupied by the Dolours, and in what manner; and it appeared better to compose the present Treatise and even finish it for the press, befbre advancing his book on the Passion into another stage of its preparations, in order that the ultimate harmony between the two might be the more complete. But, as the time was not come for the publication of the Dolours in its predeter mined place in the series of books which the Author has planned, it was laid by until its turn should arrive.
