The Princess Casamassima, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Princess Casamassima, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
Subjects and situations, character and history, the tragedy and comedy of life, are things of which the common air, in such conditions, seems pungently to taste and to a mind curious, before the human scene, of meanings and revelations the great grey Babylon easily becomes, on its face, a garden bristling with an immense illustrative flora. Possible stories, presentable figures, rise from the thick jungle as the observer moves, fluttering up like startled game, and before he knows it indeed he has fairly to guard himself against the brush of importunate wings. He goes on as with his head in a cloud of humming presences - especially during the younger, the initia tory time, the fresh, the sharply-apprehensive months or years, more or less numerous. We use our material up, we use up even the thick tribute of the London streets - if perception and attention but sufficiently light our steps. But I think of them as lasting, for myself, quite sufficiently long I think of them as even still - dreadfully changed for the worse in respect to any romantic idea as I find them - breaking out on occasion into eloquence, throwing out deep notes from their vast vague murmur.
