Excerpt from Old Love Stories Retold First, more significant, class. His love for Beatrice is important because it stands for a way of loving. As many have loved and still go on loving the way of Tristram and Iseult, so many have loved and still go on loving Dante's way, though such a fashion of loving is perhaps less common. Yet, is it so rare, after all, for a man to carry enshrined in his heart from boyhood to manhood, and on to old age, the holy face of some little girl seen for a brief while in the magic dawn of life, lost al most as soon as seen, yet seen in that short moment with such an ecstasy of sight as to become for him a deathless angel of the imagination, a lifelong dream to keep pure the heart P.

Excerpt from Early Italian Love Stories But notwithstanding all that is lost in the re-telling, in a different language and at a different day, something remains, independent of both the old life and the old language, which the past has and can bestow even upon the unlettered readers of an alien country and an alien time, and that is the stories themselves, apart from their treatment and expression. Even retold their charm cannot, we are fain to hope, wholly evaporate. It is at all events possible to convey in some measure, by a simple recital of their contents, some idea of the positive genius for the picturesque in incident, episode, and surroundings, characteristic of the school to which they belong; of the blind intensity with which a single passion is painted, dominating and determining the living and dying of men and women of bygone generations; of the simple and undeviating directness of aim, good or evil, upon which the plots are constructed with such excellence of art that they seem a mere accident of instinct.

Excerpt from Some Old Love Stories On a certain day a few months ago I found room in a mind occupied with many other subjects for a distinct pang of regret, and the next morning I woke with that vague sense of something having gone wrong with which so many of us of uncertain spirits are familiar. About three years ago I paid a visit to Carlsbad, and, after some days of dreadful loneliness and appalling depression, I fell in with a covey of Americans. Whenever I meet Americans I am always at home. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Love Stories From Real Life Now when a man, for no apparent reason, stares into space, smiles tender smiles, and heaves great sighs, it is safe 'to assume that he is crazy, - or in love. The doctor was not crazy even his enemies, of whom there was a mul titude, could not have admitted he was other than a highly intelligent young man of wit and more than ordi nary ability. It naturally followed, then, that he was in love. Would he have admitted this? Never! He counted himself far too sensible for that.
