Description
Excerpt: BOOK I. The BROKEN CHRYSALIS. (From the Shorthand Notes of John Burke.) THE BACILLUS OF BEAUTY. Chapter 1. THE METAMORPHOSIS. NEW YORK, Sunday, Dec. 16. I am going to set down as calmly and fully as I can a plain statement of all that has happened since I came to New York. I shall not trim details, nor soften the facts to humour my own amazement, nor try to explain the marvel that I do not pretend to understand. I begin at the beginning?at the plunge into fairy tale and miracle that I made, after living twenty?five years of baldest prose, when I met Helen Winship here.
