Author Description

Excerpt from Athens: The Violet-Crowned Into these solitudes of the mighty Past the voices of earth do not penetrate. One may have in his life the music Of the spheres, or the voices of earth; it is a question of choice; but the two do not mingle. Who loves the music of the spheres And lives on earth, must close his ears To many voices that he hears. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
