Synopsis
Excerpt from Sylvana's Letters to an Unknown Friend
Mine should be of use and pleasure too, at least to me. For you and I, who have never met and are therefore quite impersonal to each other, one name is as good as another; so you shall be Amaryllis Belladonna, and if you please, I will be Sylvana, or, your Lady of Flowers. If I should chance to touch on any subject in which our minds may not be in fullest unison, let it pass. The jar need never be said; and I shall get to know instinctively in time, and mean while can write on in happy confidence. In the garden, amongst the flowers, I know we are of one mind absolutely. So with us it shall be as the harp and the hand. Chords will answer to the hand that feels; they are ready almost before the touch awakes them! It is well amid the petty dust that chokes our life - it is well to have a little Island of Dreams, far away in some crystal sea: to spread our wings and take flight, and seek the place where all is hallowed and gracious and full of innocent pleasure. From earliest years your unknown friend has held possession of some such mystic thought-region, whither to flee away and rest when all the world is dull.
