These are not stories, nor essays, nor a part of prosaic today; they are verily painted shadows, as clear, as fanciful, and as elusive. There is much charming verse and much poetic prose, and many truthful things which strike home to a troubled soul. "The youth of lady Contantia," "The shadow of a rose," "What of love? What of fame?"-they were real only so long as they ran before us, shining shapes of promise. They were real only so long as they were shadows.
