A Lovers Tale Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Lovers Tale Many women, while he had loved never a one. But his father had been very jealous in his loves, and had killed almost as many men because they had intermeddled in his love-affairs. Now Cormac, thinking that over, felt very sure that he should never be jealous if he were a lover. He theorised at large about it; he gave the subject a great deal of attention. Love making must enhance a woman, he thought, even in the minds of her lovers. If she was beautiful, it was surely her due. If she was plain, it would provoke desire. What more lovely sight could the world offer a man than to see the woman he longed for the burning-point of the world's longing? He kept these ideas to himself because he had nobody but his mother to whom he could have imparted them. She would have laughed at him and made him angry.

Excerpt from The Lover's Tale The original Preface to 'the Lover's Tale' states that it was composed in my nineteenth year. Two only of the three parts then written were printed, when, feeling the imperfection of the poem, I withdrew it from the press. One of my friends however who, boylike, admired the boy's work, distributed among our common associates of that hour some copies of these two parts, without my know ledge, without the omissions and amendments which I had in contemplation, and marred by the many misprints of the compositor. Seeing that these two parts have of late been mercilessly pirated, and that what I had deemed scarce worthy to live is not allowed to die, may I not be pardoned if I suffer the whole poem at last to come into the light - accompanied with a reprint of the sequel - a work of my mature life The Golden Slipper'?

Excerpt from Lovers' Saint Ruth's: And Three Other Tales Fire of the Wessex sun. It is possible that the actual incident had come to Mr. Hardy' 3 notice also, and with a keen and pitiful interest for so expert a student of human nature. A curious circumstance in his relation ofit 13 that the elder child, in order that there may be more room in a hard world for the persons he loves, dis poses not only of himself, but presumably of the younger child as well; and in the original version of my story Hughey jumped into the river with his sister Nora ln his arms. But a friend of mine, Who read the manuscript in 1894, a writer of great insight whose opinion I value 1n the extreme, so wrought with me to change the cruel ending, that I did so then and there, after some argument, and sent the boy of long, long thoughts uncompanied to his fate. The point of all this is, of course, that I now perceive my small invention had dared, uncon sciously, to keep yet closer pace than would appear with Mr. Hardy's; for the suicide of real life was the suicide of one child alone.

Excerpt from A Phantom Lover: A Fantastic Story You thought it a fantastic tale, you lover of fantastic things, and urged me to write it out at once, although I protested that, in such matters, to write is to exorcise, to dispel the charm; and that printers' ink chases away the ghosts that may pleasantly haunt us as efficaciously as gallons of holy water.

Excerpt from Lovers and Husbands: A Story of Married Life Two maidens sat in earnest conversation one quiet afternoon in October, near the window of a tasteful cottage which looked out upon a gently-declining lawn, encircled by elms that still retained their thick foliage. Beyond this lawn was a dense wood, gayly attired in its many-coloured autumn robes. The rays of the setting sun fell broad and unobstructed upon the bosom of this forest, lending to each gaudy leaf, or to the half-revealed silvery branches and trunks of the trees, a glittering lustre that dazzled the eye. "See, Flora!" said one of the maidens, suddenly interrupting their conversation, and glancing out of the window as she spoke: "is there anything in nature more beautiful than an autumn sunset?" "Nothing," returned her companion, half abstractedly, as her eyes followed the direction of her companion's.
