Description
Excerpt from The Bramble-Bush Tales: Containing; Novelettes, Poems and Pen Sketches
A Romance.
You take a chance for luck and win
And shie your castor in my ring
To read clean novels is the proper thing,
Much satisfaction they will bring;
Photographic prisms of translucent light
Illume the world's doings by day and night,
Peruse this romance at your will
Whene'er there's an idle hour to kill.
To youth twill bring new thoughts - life's bridge to span,
And pleasant memories to wayfaring man,
Dame Fortune may rise from her hidden couch,
Arid glide through the portals of your house,
Is the author's wish profound.
The female heroine of this kaleidoscopic romance is a rare exotic, so to say - a sort of lusus naturae of the middle classes - with robust sentiments, nobility of soul, and a controlling desire for adventures of the kind usually attributed to the stronger sex. Manly men are desirous of placing women on a lofty pedestal for men to kneel to and worship. We like to clothe her in the mantle of high ideals of purity, charity and nobility of character, belonging to the angel world. Though women are not entirely the angels, nor have they altogether the qualities of the angel world, of which we read, in Holy Writ, unless we qualify it by saying, minus the wings and plus the hoofs.
