Description
Excerpt from Roses and Rain Last night we sat in the quiet room - a few friends together - and heard the wind rattling the palm leaves outside in the garden, like some ghostly senorita clicking a pair of invisible castenets in tune to some haunting rhythm. The fire burned on the hearth, a fire of eucalyptus logs, with now and then a branch of aromatic leaves, flaming suddenly into leaping life and filling the room with their pungent and somehow exotic perfume. We put out the bright lights from the center of the room, and let the shadows fall from the little gleaming lamps that are like fire-flies, flitting in the dusk like so many swiftly passing thoughts and pleasant memories. There we were, the young couple so dead in love with each other, and so full of the joy of living. Sweet Sixteen, a little terrified at her vague glimpse of life - Twenty-one, virile and modest and somehow eagerly hopeful. The Home Woman, the Woman of the World, the Artist, the Genius, the Singer and the Priest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
