A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jftist Uoolx. MUSIC, EMOTION, AND MOKALS. i. FIE sun smiting through crystal drops shakes its white light into hluc, and red, and yellow fire ;and, as theL eads of fresh-fallen rain tremble in the wind, we may watch the primary colours of the rainbow combined and recombined with wondrous alchemy into more subtle flame of emerald, purple, and orange. A cloud passes over the sky, and in a moment every tiny globe hangs before us, scintillant still, but pale and colourless, with its one quiveringspeck of crystalline light. Then we can see with quiet eyes the metallic lustre upon the wide blue wings of theB razilian butterfly the green dissolving into glitter of rubies upon the breast of the humming-bird the long reaches of golden king-cups in June meadows, or opal tints upon wet shells and blown foam.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. 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.
