Description
Excerpt from The Marble Faun, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the Romance of Monte Beni
Therefore, I have little heart or confidence (espe cially, writing as I do, in a foreign land, and after a long, long absence from my own) to presume upon the existence of that friend of friends, that unseen brother of the soul, whose apprehensive sympathy has so often encouraged me to be. Egotistical in my prefaces, care less though unkindly eyes should skim over what was never meant for them. I stand upon ceremony, now; and, after stating a few particulars about the work which is here offered to the Public, must make my most reverential bow, and retire behind the curtain.
