Excerpt from The Coast of Bohemia NE who after writing prose all his life suddenly essays to launch a volume of verse, must know something of the feeling with which an old-time sailor after coasting only his native shores found himself setting sail into an unknown sea. The author of this little volume knows quite as well as the most experienced mariner the temerity of sail ing an untried main in so frail a bark. But he is willing, if the Fates so decree, to go down with the unnumbered sail of that great eet which have throughout the ages faced the wide ocean of oblivion.

Excerpt from In Bohemia To you whose footsteps, long before my own, Have trod Bohemia's paths and found them fair, To you whose souls shall find them free from care, Long after my contented soul has flown, But, more than all, to you whose lives have grown Close knit to mine, its grief and joy to share, Whose smiles made light the burdens all must bear, And never yet, for bread have given a stone.

Excerpt from The Torch-Bearers of Bohemia This story, which has been awarded Honorable Mention by the Imperial Academy of Science of Petrograd, is the work of a living writer; but its scene is laid in past times, in the days of John Hus and his contemporaries. Although it is full of exciting incident as a story, "The Torchbearers of Bohemia" seeks also to give a picture of the life of Bohemia at the beginning of the Fifteenth Century, and to show the intense hatred, which persists to this day, of the Czechs (or Bohemians, as they are called throughout) for their Teutonic oppressors. In such high-colored passages as those connected with the trial of Hus, or the revolt in Prague upon the death of King Venceslas, the author is so clearly combining her vivid sense of historical color with intense sympathy for the Hussite cause, that this personal conviction unquestionably adds to the "immediacy" of the passionate scenes, and brings them leaping to the eye. Hus, to the writer, is the hero of the book, in spite of all the heroic virtues of Jerome and Vok; while the villain is not so much Brancaccio as the whole assembly of the clerical abuses against which Hus thundered his denunciations. Wickedness in plenty is here of a personal and quite privately terrible kind; but then so is one lurid aspect of the history of a fierce religious conflict.
