Excerpt from The Dream of My Youth If fevered nerves and my lately heated life cannot be calmed here, remarked Peter, then I'll strike for Labrador, where house lots and farms are even cheaper than at the H.' To be sure the flying Frying Pan, so black and strong, did much to ameliorate my own condition while there; and I could see that she served Peter as well as an electric motor would have done along the exciting streets of Hollyhock and the quiet ways of Modera tion. The Pan was wild when I bought her a year ago, said my Nephew as we flew like a kite around his parish next day. But I have the greatest trick you ever saw for lick ing a horse; I do it with sticks Of candy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Dream of Youth: A Poem The Dream of Youth. Canto I. But they who have loved the fondest, the purest, Too often have wept o'er the dream they believ'd; And the heart that has slumbered in friendship securest Is happy indeed if 'twas never deceiv'd. Moore. I. "O'er years of youth the tearful eye may cast its aching glance, When joys no longer thrill the heart, and hopes no more entrance; 'Tis but the gloomy waste of life, the desart's dreary path, That wakes within the breast again each former tempest's wrath.

Excerpt from The Poetry of Catullus The favourites of the gods are released from life before they have had time to outstay their youth. The tribute to those who died young is tribute to the youth which they never lived to lose - ih part, no doubt, objective, but in part also subjective, and prompted by the thought expressed in that line of Thackeray: Oh, the brave days, when we were twenty-one!

From the acclaimed author of Pearl and Final Payments comes a beautifully choreographed novel about first lovers meeting again after more than thirty years and reimmersing themselves in their shared past. Miranda and Adam, high-school sweethearts now in their late fifties, arrive by chance at the same time in Rome, a city where they once spent a summer deeply in love, living together blissfully. At an awkward reunion, the two—who parted in an atmosphere of passionate betrayal in the 1960s and haven’t seen each other since—are surprised to discover that they may have something to talk about. Both have their own guilt, their sense of who betrayed whom, and their long-held interpretation of the events that caused them not to marry and to split apart into the lives they’ve led since—both are married to others, with grown children. For the few weeks they are in Rome, Adam suggests that they meet for daily walks and get to know each other again. Gradually, as they take in the pleasures of the city and the drama of its streets, they discover not only what matters to them now but also more about what happened to them long ago. Miranda and Adam are masterfully portrayed characters, intent upon understanding who they are in relation to who they were. A story about what first love means and how it is shattered, and the lessons old lovers may still have to share with each other many years later, The Love of My Youth is also a poignant look back at the hopes and dreams of a generation and what became of them.
Excerpt from Don-a-Dreams: A Story of Love and Youth He put his eye to the peephole. When he turned away from the door, he stumbled blindly to his bed and buried his face in the pillows and cried himself to sleep. Years afterward, when experience had discovered to him his own personality, he saw in that small ih eident the little gist and prologue of his life. IN the gray of the Christmas morning, he woke to his disillusionment; but he woke also to the thought that he must not tell Frankie; and he woke, in fact, no longer an infant, but an elder brother, desperately sophisticated and, beside Frankie's enthusiasm, even blase. Thereafter, his make-believes were conscious always; and he began to play with his imagination for a game.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Excerpt from The Shop of Dreams: A Tale of Love, Youth and Books Ven if you do not believe me, I must tell you that there are people in the sprawling, conglomerate, agate city that is New York who have dreams in their hearts. Yes! Strange as it may seem, there are clean young spirits in our harsh town that do not care to rush and swarm and push through the stone streets; spirits that hunger for quiet and peace - and achieve them.
