Mae Madden

By Mary Murdoch Mason and Joaquin Miller

Book Overview

The rich life in Mae's blood was surging in her veins and must be let off in some way. If she had had her music and a piano she might have thrown her soul into some great flood-waves of harmony. The Farnesina frescoes of Cupid and Psyche over across the Tiber would have helped her, but here she was alone, and so she did what so many ""fervent souls"" do--scribbled her heart out in a colorful, barbarous rhyme. Mae had ordinarily too good sense for this, too deep a reverence for that world of poetry, at the threshold of which one should bow the knee, and loose the shoe from his foot, and tread softly. She didn't care for this today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
