Book Description
Excerpt from An Unsatisfactory Lover, Vol. 1: A Novel The rose is living on her cheeks, The lily in her rounded chin; She speaks but when her whole soul speaks, And then the two flow out and in And mix their red and white to make The hue for which I'd Paradise forsake. The old house, in spite of the decay that is fast compassing its ruin, is looking lovely in the rays of this hot noon sunshine. The windows are all blazing as though on fire, and seem to be seeking comfort from the cool green of the ivy that is hanging round them, - framing them, as it were, - hanging too closely, indeed, to some of them, as though suggesting the idea that a clipping would be good for it. Decidedly the ivy does want clipping; but, alas, the old house wants so many things! "It is difficult to grow old gracefully," says Madame de Stael in one of her charming letters.
