Wolfville Days (Classic Reprint) by Alfred Henry Lewis Pdf
Excerpt from Wolfville Days I am no such savage of letters, but I am aware that these Tales of Ike Old Cattleman could never, by whatever stress of genius they occurred, be up lifted as an exalted literature. They offer no chance of those elegancies which a definition of the phrase demands. But failing a higher place, these still may please. There has been merit without elegance; and how often do we find elegance lack ing heart and surprise in the most beautiful the most corrupt? The Old Cattleman is rude, storm-beat and of a shaggy roughness. Yet he is as well titled to a place in the circle of general appreciation as Roger de Coverley himself; he but runs the peril of my inability to draw him and display him as he is. At least, the old fellow comes frankly before you; he strives not to bushwhack or trap a public interest.
