Reader's note

This vintage edition of The Beauty of Life by Arthur Christopher Benson is a delightful book of writings from the author with removeable colour plates. He writes in this introduction, 'The circumstances and incidents of our lives, our pains and terrors, the blank wall of Death which closes the horizon on every side, our meanness and pettiness, our desire for comfort upon any terms, our ambitions, our habits - all these things have a terrible power to hide the law of beauty from us. Who does not know the sickening sense of despair, of being left aloe to single and fainting the presence of some irreparable and cruel calamity, when we wonder if there is any love or goodness behind it all, when we feel that we could bear any bitterness and sharpness of experience if only we could be assured of some intention to us, and age against the darkness that hides the truth from our hearts.'
