Book Description
Excerpt from A Summer Idyl In offering this simple little pastoral I have to con fess that I have been guided by no controlling motive, governed by no design. Possibly I shall be censured for this - for letting my pen take its own course, my own eyes curious as to how it would come out. I can only plead my helplessness to do otherwise, preferring the instinct, so to speak, of my pen rather than the uncertain guidance of an unpracticed hand. On the whole, I cannot say that it is an expression of myself, save that my pen savors of myself without conscious direction. It is more an entity in and of itself, my part being that of a wholly impersonal agent. If design could be said to have entered into it, it was that the story should be a very crystal for purity, underlaid by that deep reverence for Deity which of itself should safeguard my hand from any thing which could be construed to dishonor my God. Proceeding upon this basis, the story has been allowed to develop naturally, the parts growing into their several relations unassisted by artifice or con scious art.
