Présentation de l'éditeur

These be three women who loved the world :not meaning (at least two of them) the pomps and vanities, but the round world itself and the people who belong to it. All had the bandage lifted from their eyes, and as they became wise proved how sad a thing is wisdom. The first tried to comfort herself with dreams ;and waits hoping that they will find their way into the waking-hours. The second played an eager, restless game, staking all her happiness on it; and perhaps gained most when she had lost it. The third looked up at sorrow, and, seeing a little way beyond, set out on a journey; but she does not know yet where it will end. And the moral is but morals are depressing even if they are edifying :let us leave them to the Preacher.
