Excerpt from Glamourie: A Romance of Paris You once, my dear Sir Michael - it was during that great morning on the Lanterne de Diogene - you once defined Art as a part of man's effort to project the Thing, by love, into the over-world. And the only worthy Art, you added, is that which shows this effort.

Love and the Thing and the Effort! - that is all - Well, I shall try to please you. So much at least you will read in every stumbling phrase. Yes; you I am sure to please.
