Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hill of Venus It was the time of the summer solstice in the year 1266. Evening was falling on the Basilicata, the shadowy, hazy twilight of the fading mid summer day. The pale green leaves of the olive-branches hung limply from their boughs, but the great willows which drooped over the meandering tide of the Garigliano now and then stirred a feathery twig in response to the delicate touch of the evening breeze. The sun had entered the waters of ancient Liris for his evening bath, leaving his robes of crimson and gold draped in the western sky. Everything in this fabled land had grown enchanted in the sunset glow. The plane-trees drooped their leaves, as if wrapped in silent dreams. In the poppy-fields the shrill insect voices were hushed, wan presage of the coming dusk. The Liris rolled his sunset crimson gold between the broken scenery of the hills, and the dark forests of the Murgie spread waving shadows over the sun-kissed Apulian plains.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venus Act I, Scene I. - Porch at rear of Executive Mansion. (Enter Governor, Sheriff and Messenger.) Governor. What! resists arrest by authority? This hermit of the mountains, he a God? Denies the power of society, The just and righteous course of law and order? We'll know the truth of his most wild assertions. Does he make threats? Sheriff. With words and actions too; Aye, with a voice strong and mean invective, A face drawn full of heartless, vain contours, He threatens any one who should attend To pry into his curious secrecies, With death by bullet or with dynamite. Governor. Lives he in a cave? Sheriff. No, his vile retreat, Is but, as I saw it from the outside, A house of logs and mud without a roof; No windows and no door, but in one end, As projecting above the topmost logs, I saw a part of what appeared to be A single castle of shining silver. What it is to save my life I can't guess. I called "hello!" the voice of a woman Calmly answered. Then I heard a murmur, A head disguised peered high above the wall, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homage to Venus Dione. It was Hesiod who preserved for us the more primitive legend of Venus born from the waves of the sea. This is the Oriental story (lakshmi too is born of the churning of the ocean) and it is also the more pro found, in spite of its crudity or perhaps because of it. The ancient East had many intuitions of the nature of things; and modern science often does no more than clothe in precise language what the symbolism of mythology had already apprehended and expressed. The Heavenly Seed falling into the Sea of Matter is a pregnant allegory that persists even in the minds of materialists. Yet this is but half the story. For Venus is not the Goddess of Life but the Goddess of Love. And love is the conjunction of individual Opposites. Venus arose from the foam at the water's edge, a creature of sea and earth. From the whirl pool of life as it broke upon land, Love was born. Ever since the first dawn of thought gleamed upon the dark landscape of the instincts, man has regarded woman with a mixture of attraction and awe. Woman as the Gate of Life; Woman as the Object of Desire: between these two poles have his emotions swung. She was at once the great Mother and the Universal Mistress; and in both capacities charged with mm. The body of woman has always been heavy with magic, mysterious as life itself. Somehow it was more deeply imbedded in Nature than man's own body, more responsive to its rhythms. And if individual woman, how much more the Great Goddess.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bronze Venus But it was a remarkable room to have been created by a man who had begun life as a navvy, and it argued enthusiasms and emotions rarely to be found in that valuable class of the com munity. Josiah Fairbrother was a self-made man who knew what to do with his money - a mm avir. By some Streak of heredity, not necessary to investigate, he had been born with a sense of beauty, and when his other more practical endowments of mind raised him from the railway and road-making, he developed aesthetic tastes and employed a gigantic fortune in the manner that his bent inclined.
