Synopsis

Excerpt from The Soul of Paris and Other Essays

In the opinions of many the absence in this book of what is called timeliness, - that eternal treating of something of the immediate moment, and, too, usually something expensive, useful, and ugly,-will be deemed a defect. But for this lacking I am not sorry, and I continue to believe that it is good at times to turn from the incessant making Of mills and goods and railways and money, from the noise Of tramcars and automobiles, from the sensations of politics and politicians, from the bruits Of the latest scandal or war or catastrophe, and give a little time to contem plating the stars, or watching the bees, or listening to the songs of the seas.
