Excerpt from Waifs: A Collection of Miscellany<br><br>Every human life is, at the same time, an allegory and a reality. The reality, in its individual aspect, is more or less intelligible. Each one essays to read the riddle of the Sphinx, and hazards a guess at its practical solution. But for the alle gory we need ah interpreter. Here, then, is the mission of the novelist. He views in us what we, engrossed with the intense earnestness of living, have neither time nor disposition to define for ourselves. He emphasizes our thought, and analyzes what had seemed to us our fleeting emotions. He shows these to be correlated expressions of the inherent tendency which shapes our destiny. He explains to us the significance of the facts and fancies in our life with which we have superficial acquaintance.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
