Excerpt from The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol. 4 of 10: Newly Collected and Edited, With a Memoir, Critical Introductions, and NotesIn this latter respect I was forced to take Talbot's advice, for he remained obstinately deaf to every further question or suggestion, and occupied him self exclusively for the rest of the evening with what was transacting upon the stage.In the meantime I kept my eyes riveted on Madame Lalande, and at length had the good for tune to obtain a full front view of her face. It was exquisitely lovely this, or course, my heart had told me before, even had not Talbot fully satisfied me upon the point - but still the unintelligible something disturbed me. I finally concluded that my senses were impressed by a certain air of gra vity, sadness, or, still more properly, of weariness, which took something from the youth and freshness of the countenance, only to endow it with a seraphic tenderness and majesty, and thus, of course, to my enthusiastic and romantic temperament, with an interest tenfold.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
