Archibald Malmaison

By Julian Hawthorne

Release : 1879-01-01

Genre : Fiction & Literature, Books

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
This is a short story. When I was a child, I used to hope my fairy-stories were true. Since reaching years of discretion, I have preferred acknowledged fiction. This inconsistency, however, is probably rather apparent than real. Experience has taught me that the greater the fairy-story the less the truth ; and contrariwise, that the greater the truth the less the fairy-story. In other words, the artistic graces of romance are irreconcilable with the crude straightforwardness of fact. The idealism of childhood, believing that all that is most beautiful must on that very account be most true, Glamours accordingly for truth. The knowledge of maturity.
