The Dancing Faun (Classic Reprint) - Florence Farr

Excerpt from The Dancing Faun
'Yes, Lady Geraldine, the only beauty in modern life is its falsehood. Its reality is ridiculous.'
'Truth always was undignified, Mr. Travers.'
'Just so; that is why the art of life consists in not realising the truth, ' replied the man, with charming languor.
'You are the first person I have met who has dared put these things into words, ' murmured the woman.
'Your life has been a dream hitherto.'
'According to you, I had better not awake.'
'One wants experience to give a wider scope to one's dreams, ' said he paternally.
