Book Description
Excerpt from Grey and Gold Let me try to describe it. The features were tolerably regular, but hard, and far too strongly marked to be agree able in youth the complexion was very dark and colourless the mouth firmly set; the lips compressed; the chin re solute, and even obstinate; the cheek-bones showed pain fully, and there were hollows in the temples, all the more visible because the dark, abundant hair was drawn, or rather strained, tightly back from the forehead, and fastened in a Slovenly, ungraceful knot at the back of the head. But the head itself was finely formed a phrenologist would have been enraptured with it the intellectual organs were so beautifully developed - or, rather, in a state to be de veloped, if only somebody would take a little trouble with them; but up to this time certainly no one had ever given himself, or herself, any trouble in the matter. Meanwhile, the massiveness Of the brow gave one only the idea Of heaviness and sullenness, which was in no wise an im provement to the singular, unprepossessing face. The eyes were grey, of a soft, shadowy hue many persons thought they were black, as they glanced out, sometimes in wrath, and sometimes in weary scorn, from the fringes of long, dark, curled eyelashes but they were not black, or brown, or blue, but veritable, clear, full grey! Which Byron de clared was, after all, the only really expressive colour for eyes! I think, in default Of any other Simile, I would call this girl's eyes iron-grey.

Book Description
Excerpt from From Gray to Gold The mountain mists came down and down Till all the earth was gray. I looked from my fair south window, Where the sunbeams love to play, But never a gleam had lingered there, The south, as the north was gray. And into my heart came stealing The spell of that cheerless day, Till it seemed that the whole long round of life Like the earth and sky was gray.

Gray Days and Gold (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Gray Days and Gold This book relates to the gray days of an American traveller in the mother-land and to the gold of thought and fancy that can be found there. In its prede cessor, shakespeare's england, an attempt was made to describe, in a simple, unconventional manner, lovely scenes which are inseparably intertwined with the name and memory of Shakespeare, and also to reflect the charm of that English scenery which, to an imaginative mind, is, and must always be, impressive by reason of its gentle beauty, venerable antiquity, and romantic association, - a charm which. Has inspired much of the best English Poetry, of which Shakespeare is the fountain head. This book continues the same treat ment of kindred themes, taking them as they chanced to occur, and commenting on them in a sympathetic spirit, with no thought of assuming to be mentor or guide.

Book Description
Excerpt from From Gold to Grey: Being Poems and Pictures of Life and Nature Fairer thou art, oh. Beautiful May! Than even thy sister, whose reign is o'er, The blue-eyed April. Who wept and smiled, ened the earth cold before. She sang of thee, and our hearts were glad With thoughts of the joys sweet May would bring We longed for thee and thy merry hours. Oh, thou most beautiful month of spring! There are sounds of pleasure o'er all the earth There are sweet birds singing in bush and tree There are laughing voices, and songs of mirth, And joyous faces to welcome thee. There are busy fingers in every field Plucking thy treasures rich and rare Oh, May so lovingly bountiful, Welcomes must greet thee everywhere.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Crock of Gold The Grey Woman and the Thin Woman were so incensed at being answered that they married the two Philosophers in order to be able to pinch them in bed, but the skins of the Philosophers were so thick that they did not know they were being pinched. They repaid' the fury of the women with such tender affection that these vicious creatures almost expired of chagrin, and once, in a very ecstasy of exasperation, after having been kissed by their husbands, they uttered the fourteen hundred maledic tions which comprised their wisdom, and these were learned by the Philosophers who thus became even wiser than before. In due process of time two children were born of these marriages. They were born on the same day and in the same hour, and' they were only different in this, that one of them was a boy and the other one was a girl. Nobody was able to tell how this had happened and, for the first time in their lives, the Philosophers were forced to ad mire an event which they had been unable to prognosticate; but having proved by many different methods that the children were really children, that what must be must be, that a fact cannot be controverted.
