Synopsis
Her voice was like rose-fragrance waltzing in the wind. She seemed a shadow, stained with shadow colors, Swimming through waves of sunlight .. .T he sole precedent I can find for the broken style of my prologue is Longinus on the Sublime and that one far-fetched. When my mother was in Rome on that rare journey forever to be remembered, she lived in a small pension near the Pincio gardens. The place had been chosen by my brother as one notably easy of access, being in a quarter free from confusion of traffic, on a street close to the park and furthermore the tram to the American Academy passed at the corner. Yet never did my mother go out but she was in fear of being lost. By turning to the left when she should have turned right, actually she did once manage to go so far astray that it was nearly an hour before she extricated herself from the strangeness of every new vista and found a landmark. There has always been a disreputable man of picturesque personality associated with this lady. Their relations have been marked by the most rollicking spirit of comradeship. Now it has been William, former sailor in Admiral Dewey sfleet at Manila, then Tom OR ourck who has come to her to do odd jobs and to be cared for more or less when drunk or ill, their Penelope. William would fall from the grapearbor much to my mothers amusement and delight and to his blustering discomfiture or he would stagger to the back door nearly unconscious from bad whiskey.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the vibrant and chaotic world of artistic creation, exploring the power of the imagination to break free from convention and forge new paths. Through a series of poetic "improvisations," the author examines the struggles and triumphs of artistic expression, challenging the very notion of fixed values and static forms. Drawing inspiration from diverse figures like the French Impressionists and the American poet Walt Whitman, the author argues for a dynamic and ever-evolving approach to art, where novelty and originality reign supreme. This journey takes us from the bustling streets of Amsterdam to the windswept prairies of the American West, highlighting the universality of the creative impulse. The book's unconventional style and fragmented form mirror the fluid nature of the imagination itself, defying categorization and inviting the reader to participate in the act of creation. Ultimately, it celebrates the transformative power of art, reminding us that true artistic expression lies not in conforming to established norms, but in embracing the constant flux and dynamism of life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
