Excerpt from The Opportunity of the TeacherThree hundred years ago, a chattering, laugh ing group of young artists were passing one day along an obscure street in lovely Florence. One of them, tall, lean, and sinewy, his keen eager eyes seeing all things, suddenly darted into a small stone-cutter's yard, where lay, half buried in the rubbish, a long neglected block of marble. Regardless of his holiday attire, he at once fell to work on it, clearing away its filth and striving to lift it from the slime and mire where it lay. His companions, astonished, asked him what he was doing and what he wanted of that worthless piece of rock that had been lying there for years.There is an angel in the stone and I must get it out, was the reply of Michael Angelo.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
