Book Description
Excerpt from The Sanctuary Blair Martin stood in the big doorway looking at the gay scene before her. She was tired and glad to get away from the fashionable crowd for a little while, and grateful that the doorway shaded her from curious eyes. Since a small child, and all through the years that her father had been amassing his vast fortune, she had resented and shrunk from the often overheard remarks and the curious gaze people had bestowed upon her. Her sensitiveness to public comment was oddly at variance with the natural independence and frankness of speech she had inherited from her father, Andrew Martin. It was perhaps a legacy from the dead mother whose memory she adored, as a woman of eight and twenty adores a memory cherished by a girl somewhat over seventeen. The incessant noise of the touring cars and roadsters annoyed her as they swept up the long driveway and deposited their gaily dressed occupants by the main tent where Mrs. Weston-Smith received her guests. An unceasing hum of voices, from the low masculine bass to the clearer feminine treble - a gamut of human sound - came to her from the throng scattered over the wide lawns and from the bazaar tables that stood nearer to the trees. From the immense temporary pavilion to the right came the clatter of dishes and again the same incessant noise. She sighed wearily.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sanctuary The girl's smile prolonged itself at the sight of a figure approaching from the lower slopes above the lake. The path was a short cut from the Peyton place, and She had known that Denis would appear in it at about that hour. Her smile, however, was prolonged not so much by his approach as by her sense of the impossibility of com municating her mood to him. The feeling did not disturb her. She could not imagine sharing her deepest moods with any one, and the world in which she lived with Denis was too bright and Spacious to ad mit of any sense of constraint. Her smile was in truth a tribute to that clear-eyed directness of his which was so often a refuge from her own complexities.

Excerpt from Sanctuary: A Play in One Scene The rays of the reading lamp set her golden hair af lame with color and vitality. She fingers her three letters which she removes from her bosom, and circumspectly chooses one, while she lays the others on the table. She smoothes out the letter on her lap and reads slowly, as if cogitating its contents as she reads.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Sanctuary: A Story of the Civil War The terrible were strangely mingled. Day after day I saw the symbol Of our national unity outspread by a thousand patriot hands, or when tossing amid the fray of battle, I have watched its surge as token of victory; and grander than all, as crowds Of refugees, white and black, sought its folds for protection and liberty, I no longer felt humiliated nor ashamed, for the flag Of our union symbolized to me, as it must to all the world, Liberty, in its widest, purest, noblest meaning.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sanctuary and Other Poems Not as once with shrinking heart and fearful The long white road I take, Not as once with thoughts I let be tearful For very sorrow's sake; Nay, I have done with folly, Have put off melancholy, And joyful now take up my heavy pack, Not looking back, But forward pressing on, Joy my companion. And every day my burden Grows lighter, and a song, Not grief is mine for guerdon As I march along; My feet are firm and strong.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sanctuaries The subject which we are about to consider has employed the pens of many well-known writers, whose works are most of them easily accessible. What they have said has been said at length, and said well. I do not propose to go over quite their ground, however attractive the structures which they have reared, or however important and interesting the History which they have illustrated. The inquirer will find that material ready to serve him in the writings of men of exceptional competence in Scriptural Archeology, down from Josephus and Father Sarpi, and Archbishop Potter and Bingham, to the writers of separate papers in our various Archaeologia, and to the Summaries in Law Dictionaries and the Dictionaries of Biblical and Classical Antiquities. This institution of sanctuaries has its root in a sentiment common to all humanity, i.e., that a peculiar sacredness attaches to particular places, as Tacitus expressly tells us in one of his two famous treatises.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Forest Sanctuary: And Other Poems The Forest Sanctuary. I. The voices of my home! - I hear them still! They have been with me through the dreamy night - The blessed household voices, wont to fill My heart's clear depths with unalloy'd delight! I hear them still, unchang'd: - though some from earth Are music parted, and the tones of mirth - Wild, silvery tones, that rang through days more bright! Have died in others, - yet to me they come, Singing of boyhood back - the voices of my home! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
