The Severed Mantle

Arthur Ignatius Keller

4.9/5 (16847 ratings)

Description:From the author's Foreword:In this book I have tried to picture Provence in the time of the troubadours. I show the "land of the nightingale and rose" when Idealism reigned supreme, with Love, Joy, and Song her counselors. Here love first ceased to mean passion, and homage of woman grew to be a religion; the joy of life was over all, and song the natural expression of every feeling.At the very heart of it there was a great earnestness, but it was the fervor of children—children who had lofty dreams to which they could not climb. They believed that love should come to youth as the hawthorn bud to springtime, —not desire, but devotion which asked little, and found contentment in itself. No matter how strong the love or how inspired the song, it must be always controlled by "mesura." This was no less their creed, though the most devout broke the chains which held them—for the world was young.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
