Book Description
Excerpt from The Hill of Venus It was the time of the summer solstice in the year 1266. Evening was falling on the Basilicata, the shadowy, hazy twilight of the fading mid summer day. The pale green leaves of the olive-branches hung limply from their boughs, but the great willows which drooped over the meandering tide of the Garigliano now and then stirred a feathery twig in response to the delicate touch of the evening breeze. The sun had entered the waters of ancient Liris for his evening bath, leaving his robes of crimson and gold draped in the western sky. Everything in this fabled land had grown enchanted in the sunset glow. The plane-trees drooped their leaves, as if wrapped in silent dreams. In the poppy-fields the shrill insect voices were hushed, wan presage of the coming dusk. The Liris rolled his sunset crimson gold between the broken scenery of the hills, and the dark forests of the Murgie spread waving shadows over the sun-kissed Apulian plains.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Venus Act I, scene I. - Porch at rear of Executive Man s10n. (enter Governor, Sheriff and Messenger.) Governor. What! Resists arrest by authority? This hermit of the mountains, he a God? Denies the power of society, The just and righteous course of law and order? We'll know the truth of his most wild assertions. Does he make threats? Sheriff. With words and actions too; Aye, with a voice strong and mean invective, A face drawn full of heartless, vain contours, He threatens any one who should attend To pry into his curious secrecies, With death by bullet or with dynamite. Governor. Lives he in a cave? Sheriff. No, his vile retreat, Is but, as I saw it from the outside, A house of logs and mud Without a roof; No windows and no door, but in one end, As projecting above the topmost logs, I saw a part of what appeared to be A single castle of shining silver. What it is to save my life I can't guess. I called hello! The voice of a woman Calmly answered. Then I heard a murmur, A head disguised peered high above the wall, And with the voice of an excited man, Demanded my business to know why I came. I mildly told him, in a gentle tone, That I came with a warrant to search the place I meant no harm if he had done no wrong Came just to learn that he abide the law, And take the message to the curious And prying people. Then he answered me, With the painful fury I just spoke of, Flourished a gun that I was forced to leave. Governor (to messenger). Messenger! Messenger. Sir? Governor. Tell Captain Call I want him here at once. (exit Mess.) A woman too he has with him concealed! Well, now! I guess we shall know how he keeps If it takes an army to conquer him! (enter Captain.) Captain! Captain. Sir, I am at your command. Governor. Have your company ready in the morning, Prepared with ammunition to kill, To march through the hills to Liehigh mountain. There's a dell where dwells a dangerous hermit, Who threatens the life of any who comes Within the circle that he calls his own. Hurt him not if you can help, but fetch him, Dead or alive, I say, to me fetch him! This man, the sheriff here, will be your guide. (exit.) Captain. Aye, aye, sir! We'll get that insane boaster In the morning, ere break of day we'll start. Sheriff. I'll be with you, Captain; then I will guide you to the glen. (exit.)
