Présentation de l'éditeur :
To E. fV. E. Dear friend, While you gratify me by your pleasure in this inscription you modestly Mprecate the dedication to you of this story of alien life of that unfamiliar islandlife so alien in all ways from the life of citiesj and, let me add, from that Of the great mass of the nation to which, in the communal sense, we both belong. But in the Domhan Tdir of friendship there are resting-places where all barriers of race training, and circumstance fall away in dust. At one of these pieces of peace we met, a long while ago, and found that we laved the same things, ana in the same way. You have been in the charmed West yourself :have seen the gloom and shine of the mountains that throw tneir shadow on the sea: have heard the wave whisper along that .haunted shore which none loves save with pension, and none, loving, can bear to be long parted from. You, unlike so many who delight only in the magic of sunshine ana cloud, love this dear land when the mists drive across the hillsides, and the brown torrents are in spate, and the rain and the black wind make a gloom upon every loch, and fill with the dusk of storm every strain and len, and corrie. Not otherwise can one lave it artght .
