Carmen, the song, Sylva, the forest wild, Forth comes the sylvan song, the woodlands child !A nd had I not been born neath forest trees, I never should have heard such songs as these. I learned them from the birds, that sang aloft; And from the greenwoods murmurs sweet and soft Up sprang with them the heart within my breast! Song and the forest lull my soul to rest. ARMEN SYLVAS volume of beautiful poetry, entitled My Best, begins with the above poem. It explains the poetic reasons for the choice of the name under which the royal writer conceals herself. The title, My Rest, has to do with her early surroundings, for it means Monrepos, the beautiful country seat of the Princess of Wied, which is situated on a slope of the Westerwald, and in which the royal lady spent her early years.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
