Dorothy Grey (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Dorothy GreyIN June 1905 Dorothy Grey wrote to a friend: Creighton used to say that Love is the great revealer, and I think that next to love, Death is the greatest revealer.' She was right. Death bids us pause and think. Small things disappear, and it seems as if it became more easy to see the truth about those who have left us. The whole person is present to our thoughts, not some one trait, not some charming gift, not some striking capacity. As we think of what death has helped us to discover and to understand, we long to make permanent the Vision that has been revealed, to gather for all time the message, the meaning, the fragrance of the life that we have known. When with awful swiftness death took her, who to her friends seemed like one apart, a personality vivid, strong, unique, one whose heart was as a magnet to all great thoughts, it was impossible not to wish to gather together the thoughts and memories of her that came to those who knew and loved her. The picture must be imperfect, but here and there some touch may serve to call up a true vision, or to complete the picture which already exists in the minds of those to whom Dorothy Grey Will always hear living memory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
