This saying is an eternal truth, and it would +be very curious to write the history of the local divinity of every +continent as well as the history of the patron saints in each one of our +provinces. The negro has his ferocious man-eating idols; the polygamous +Mahometan fills his paradise with women; the Greeks, like a practical +people, deified all the passions. + +Pierre Letoile was silent.

She answered: "Yes +and no; I am acquainted with them, but I do not care to know them." + +It seems that he had led a bad life, that is to say, he had squandered a +little money, which action, in a poor family, is one of the greatest +crimes. With rich people a man who amuses himself only sows his wild +oats. He is what is generally called a sport. But among needy families +a boy who forces his parents to break into the capital becomes a +good-for-nothing, a rascal, a scamp. And this distinction is just, although +the action be the same, for consequences alone determine the seriousness +of the act. + +"Why; you are just the same as the others, you fool!" That was indeed +bravado, one of those pieces of impudence of which a woman makes use when +she dares everything, risks everything, to wound and humiliate the man +who has aroused her ire. This poor man must also be one of those +deceived husbands, like so many others. He had said sadly: "There are +times when she seems to have more confidence and faith in our friends +than in me." That is how a husband formulated his observations on the +particular attentions of his wife for another man. That was all. He had +seen nothing more. He was like the rest—all the rest! + +He awaited he knew not what, possessed with that vague hope which +persists in the human heart in spite of everything. He awaited in the +corner of the farmyard in the biting December wind, some mysterious aid +from Heaven or from men, without the least idea whence it was to arrive. +A number of black hens ran hither and thither, seeking their food in the +earth which supports all living things. Ever now and then they snapped +up in their beaks a grain of corn or a tiny insect; then they continued +their slow, sure search for nutriment. + + +</pre> + <h3> + <a name="links9" id="s9"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME IX. + </h3> +<pre xml:space="preserve"> + +Full of that common sense which borders on stupidity +Let them respect my convictions, and I will respect theirs +Love that is sacred—not marriage! +Mediocrities and the fools always form the immense majority +Night-robe of streams and meadows +Only being allowed to read religious works or cook-books +Poetry did not seem to be the strong point +Purgatory and paradise according to the yearly income +She went through life in a mood of perpetual discontent +So stupid and they pretend they know everything +Spend his time quietly regretting the past +The tomb is the boundary of conjugal sinning +When we love, we have need of confession +World has made laws to combat our instincts + + +</pre> + <h3> + <a name="links10" id="s10"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME X. + </h3> +<pre xml:space="preserve"> + +"I heard 'birr! birr!' and a magnificent covey rose at ten paces from +me.

But he could think of nothing, nothing, and then, seized with a +coward's courage, he said to himself: 'So much the worse, I will risk +everything,' and suddenly, without the slightest warning, he went toward +her, his arms extended, his lips protruding, and, seizing her in his +arms, he kissed her. + +My elder sons never loved me, never petted me, scarcely treated me as a +mother, but during my whole life I did my duty towards them, and I owe +them nothing more after my death.

How sad it is to die alone, all alone, without any one who is +devoted to you! + +He pondered over his life, so barren, so empty. He recalled former days, +the days of his childhood, the home, the house of his parents; his +college days, his follies; the time he studied law in Paris, his father's +illness, his death. He then returned to live with his mother. They +lived together very quietly, and desired nothing more. At last the +mother died. How sad life is! He lived alone since then, and now, in +his turn, he, too, will soon be dead. He will disappear, and that will +be the end. There will be no more of Paul Saval upon the earth. What a +frightful thing! Other people will love, will laugh. Yes, people will +go on amusing themselves, and he will no longer exist!

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + </body> +</html> diff --git a/7549-h/images/portrait.jpg b/7549-h/images/portrait.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..91833c4 --- /dev/null +++ b/7549-h/images/portrait.jpg diff --git a/7549-h/images/signature.jpg b/7549-h/images/signature.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c14318e --- /dev/null +++ b/7549-h/images/signature.jpg diff --git a/7549-h/images/titlepage.jpg b/7549-h/images/titlepage.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..83921c8 --- /dev/null +++ b/7549-h/images/titlepage.jpg diff --git a/7549.txt b/7549.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1e5498c --- /dev/null +++ b/7549.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1012 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Quotes and Images From The Short Stories of +Maupassant, by Guy de Maupassant, Edited and Arranged by David Widger + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Under the grass, +which had been cropped close by the cows, the earth soaked by recent +rains, was soft and sank in under the feet with a soggy noise, and the +apple trees, loaded with apples, were dropping their pale green fruit in +the dark green grass. + +The servant, Rose, remained alone in the large kitchen, where the fire +was dying out on the hearth beneath the large boiler of hot water. From +time to time she dipped out some water and slowly washed her dishes, +stopping occasionally to look at the two streaks of light which the sun +threw across the long table through the window, and which showed the +defects in the glass. + +The fowls were lying on the steaming dunghill; some of them were +scratching with one claw in search of worms, while the cock stood up +proudly in their midst. When he crowed, the cocks in all the +neighboring farmyards replied to him, as if they were uttering +challenges from farm to farm. + +Neither could there be any scruples about an unequal match between them, +for in the country every one is very nearly equal; the farmer works with +his laborers, who frequently become masters in their turn, and the +female servants constantly become the mistresses of the establishments +without its making any change in their life or habits. + +Is it not rather the touch of Love, of Love the Mysterious, who seeks +constantly to unite two beings, who tries his strength the instant he +has put a man and a woman face to face? + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME V. + + +Calling all religious things "weeper's wares" +Everyone has his share +How much excited cowardice there often is in boldness +Love has no law +People do not think as they speak, and do not speak as they act +Rage of a timid man +She saw that he would yield on every point + + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME VI. + + +As he had never enjoyed anything, he desired nothing +Do you know how I picture God? +Don't know what to say, for I am always terribly stupid at first +Hotel bed: Who has occupied it the night before? +Irresistible force of mutual affection +Isn't for the fun of it, anyhow! +Love must unsettle the mind +Machine for bringing children into the world +Moments of friendly silence +One cannot both be and have been +Only by going a long distance from home +Sadness of existences that have had their day +Well-planned disorder +When did you lie, the last time or now? + + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME VII. + + +A sceptical genius has said: "God made man in his image and man has +returned the compliment." This saying is an eternal truth, and it would +be very curious to write the history of the local divinity of every +continent as well as the history of the patron saints in each one of our +provinces. The negro has his ferocious man-eating idols; the polygamous +Mahometan fills his paradise with women; the Greeks, like a practical +people, deified all the passions. + +Pierre Letoile was silent. His companions were laughing. One of them +said: "Marriage is indeed a lottery; you must never choose your numbers. +The haphazard ones are the best."--Another added by way of conclusion: +"Yes, but do not forget that the god of drunkards chose for Pierre." + +No noise in the little park, no breath of air in the leaves; no voice +passes through this silence. One ought to write at the entrance to this +district: 'No one laughs here; they take care of their health.' + +"Listen, Jacques. He has forbidden me to see you again, and I will not +play this comedy of coming secretly to your house. You must either lose +me or take me."--"My dear Irene, in that case, obtain your divorce, and +I will marry you."--"Yes, you will marry me in--two years at the +soonest. Yours is a patient love." + + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME VIII. + + +"Do you know the people who live in the little red cottage at the end of +the Rue du Berceau?"--Madame Bondel was out of sorts. She answered: +"Yes and no; I am acquainted with them, but I do not care to know them." + +It seems that he had led a bad life, that is to say, he had squandered a +little money, which action, in a poor family, is one of the greatest +crimes. With rich people a man who amuses himself only sows his wild +oats. He is what is generally called a sport. But among needy families +a boy who forces his parents to break into the capital becomes a +good-for-nothing, a rascal, a scamp. And this distinction is just, +although the action be the same, for consequences alone determine the +seriousness of the act. + +"Why; you are just the same as the others, you fool!" That was indeed +bravado, one of those pieces of impudence of which a woman makes use +when she dares everything, risks everything, to wound and humiliate the +man who has aroused her ire. This poor man must also be one of those +deceived husbands, like so many others. He had said sadly: "There are +times when she seems to have more confidence and faith in our friends +than in me." That is how a husband formulated his observations on the +particular attentions of his wife for another man. That was all. He +had seen nothing more. He was like the rest--all the rest! + +He awaited he knew not what, possessed with that vague hope which +persists in the human heart in spite of everything. He awaited in the +corner of the farmyard in the biting December wind, some mysterious aid +from Heaven or from men, without the least idea whence it was to arrive. +A number of black hens ran hither and thither, seeking their food in the +earth which supports all living things. Ever now and then they snapped +up in their beaks a grain of corn or a tiny insect; then they continued +their slow, sure search for nutriment. + + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME IX. + + +Full of that common sense which borders on stupidity +Let them respect my convictions, and I will respect theirs +Love that is sacred--not marriage! +Mediocrities and the fools always form the immense majority +Night-robe of streams and meadows +Only being allowed to read religious works or cook-books +Poetry did not seem to be the strong point +Purgatory and paradise according to the yearly income +She went through life in a mood of perpetual discontent +So stupid and they pretend they know everything +Spend his time quietly regretting the past +The tomb is the boundary of conjugal sinning +When we love, we have need of confession +World has made laws to combat our instincts + + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME X. + + +"I heard 'birr! birr!' and a magnificent covey rose at ten paces from +me. I aimed. Pif! paf! and I saw a shower, a veritable shower of +birds. There were seven of them!"--And they all went into raptures, +amazed, but reciprocally credulous. + +She was still smiling as she looked at him; she even began to laugh; and +he lost his head trying to find something suitable to say, no matter +what. But he could think of nothing, nothing, and then, seized with a +coward's courage, he said to himself: 'So much the worse, I will risk +everything,' and suddenly, without the slightest warning, he went toward +her, his arms extended, his lips protruding, and, seizing her in his +arms, he kissed her. + +My elder sons never loved me, never petted me, scarcely treated me as a +mother, but during my whole life I did my duty towards them, and I owe +them nothing more after my death. The ties of blood cannot exist +without daily and constant affection. An ungrateful son is less than, a +stranger; he is a culprit, for he has no right to be indifferent towards +his mother. + + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME XI. + + +I held my tongue, and thought over those words. Oh, ethics! Oh, logic! +Oh, wisdom! At his age! So they deprived him of his only remaining +pleasure out of regard for his health! His health! What would he do +with it, inert and trembling wreck that he was? They were taking care +of his life, so they said. His life? How many days? Ten, twenty, +fifty, or a hundred? Why? For his own sake? Or to preserve for some +time longer the spectacle of his impotent greediness in the family. + +But all at once one envelope made me start. My name was traced on it in +a large, bold handwriting; and suddenly tears came to my eyes. That +letter was from my dearest friend, the companion of my youth, the +confidant of my hopes; and he appeared before me so clearly, with his +pleasant smile and his hand outstretched, that a cold shiver ran down my +back. Yes, yes, the dead come back, for I saw him! Our memory is a +more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no +longer exist. + +But she shook with rage, and got up one of those conjugal scenes which +make a peaceable man dread the domestic hearth more than a battlefield +where bullets are raining. + + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME XII. + + +Monsieur Saval, who was called in Mantes "Father Saval," had just risen +from bed. He was weeping. It was a dull autumn day; the leaves were +falling. They fell slowly in the rain, like a heavier and slower rain. +M. Saval was not in good spirits. He walked from the fireplace to the +window, and from the window to the fireplace. Life has its sombre days. +It would no longer have any but sombre days for him, for he had reached +the age of sixty-two. He is alone, an old bachelor, with nobody about +him. How sad it is to die alone, all alone, without any one who is +devoted to you! + +He pondered over his life, so barren, so empty. He recalled former +days, the days of his childhood, the home, the house of his parents; his +college days, his follies; the time he studied law in Paris, his +father's illness, his death. He then returned to live with his mother. +They lived together very quietly, and desired nothing more. At last the +mother died. How sad life is! He lived alone since then, and now, in +his turn, he, too, will soon be dead. He will disappear, and that will +be the end. There will be no more of Paul Saval upon the earth. What a +frightful thing! Other people will love, will laugh. Yes, people will +go on amusing themselves, and he will no longer exist! Is it not +strange that people can laugh, amuse themselves, be joyful under that +eternal certainty of death? If this death were only probable, one could +then have hope; but no, it is inevitable, as inevitable as that night +follows the day. + + + +SHORT STORIES VOLUME XIII. + + +How I understood them, these who weak, harassed by misfortune, having +lost those they loved, awakened from the dream of a tardy compensation, +from the illusion of another existence where God will finally be just, +after having been ferocious, and their minds disabused of the mirages of +happiness, have given up the fight and desire to put an end to this +ceaseless tragedy, or this shameful comedy. + +Suicide!

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/7549.zip b/7549.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ff82d40 --- /dev/null +++ b/7549.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.

From +time to time she dipped out some water and slowly washed her dishes, +stopping occasionally to look at the two streaks of light which the sun +threw across the long table through the window, and which showed the +defects in the glass. + +The fowls were lying on the steaming dunghill; some of them were +scratching with one claw in search of worms, while the cock stood up +proudly in their midst. When he crowed, the cocks in all the neighboring +farmyards replied to him, as if they were uttering challenges from farm +to farm. + +Neither could there be any scruples about an unequal match between them, +for in the country every one is very nearly equal; the farmer works with +his laborers, who frequently become masters in their turn, and the female +servants constantly become the mistresses of the establishments without +its making any change in their life or habits. + +Is it not rather the touch of Love, of Love the Mysterious, who seeks +constantly to unite two beings, who tries his strength the instant he has +put a man and a woman face to face? + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s5"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME V.</h3> +<pre> + +Calling all religious things "weeper's wares" +Everyone has his share +How much excited cowardice there often is in boldness +Love has no law +People do not think as they speak, and do not speak as they act +Rage of a timid man +She saw that he would yield on every point + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s6"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME VI.</h3> +<pre> + +As he had never enjoyed anything, he desired nothing +Do you know how I picture God? +Don't know what to say, for I am always terribly stupid at first +Hotel bed: Who has occupied it the night before? +Irresistible force of mutual affection +Isn't for the fun of it, anyhow! +Love must unsettle the mind +Machine for bringing children into the world +Moments of friendly silence +One cannot both be and have been +Only by going a long distance from home +Sadness of existences that have had their day +Well-planned disorder +When did you lie, the last time or now? + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s7"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME VII.</h3> +<pre> + +A sceptical genius has said: "God made man in his image and man has +returned the compliment." This saying is an eternal truth, and it would +be very curious to write the history of the local divinity of every +continent as well as the history of the patron saints in each one of our +provinces. The negro has his ferocious man-eating idols; the polygamous +Mahometan fills his paradise with women; the Greeks, like a practical +people, deified all the passions. + +Pierre Letoile was silent. His companions were laughing. One of them +said: "Marriage is indeed a lottery; you must never choose your numbers. +The haphazard ones are the best."—Another added by way of conclusion: +"Yes, but do not forget that the god of drunkards chose for Pierre." + +No noise in the little park, no breath of air in the leaves; no voice +passes through this silence. One ought to write at the entrance to this +district: 'No one laughs here; they take care of their health.' + +"Listen, Jacques. He has forbidden me to see you again, and I will not +play this comedy of coming secretly to your house. You must either lose +me or take me."—"My dear Irene, in that case, obtain your divorce, and I +will marry you."—"Yes, you will marry me in—two years at the soonest. +Yours is a patient love." + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s8"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME VIII.</h3> +<pre> + +"Do you know the people who live in the little red cottage at the end of +the Rue du Berceau?"—Madame Bondel was out of sorts. She answered: "Yes +and no; I am acquainted with them, but I do not care to know them." + +It seems that he had led a bad life, that is to say, he had squandered a +little money, which action, in a poor family, is one of the greatest +crimes. With rich people a man who amuses himself only sows his wild +oats. He is what is generally called a sport. But among needy families +a boy who forces his parents to break into the capital becomes a +good-for-nothing, a rascal, a scamp. And this distinction is just, although +the action be the same, for consequences alone determine the seriousness +of the act. + +"Why; you are just the same as the others, you fool!" That was indeed +bravado, one of those pieces of impudence of which a woman makes use when +she dares everything, risks everything, to wound and humiliate the man +who has aroused her ire. This poor man must also be one of those +deceived husbands, like so many others. He had said sadly: "There are +times when she seems to have more confidence and faith in our friends +than in me." That is how a husband formulated his observations on the +particular attentions of his wife for another man. That was all. He had +seen nothing more. He was like the rest—all the rest! + +He awaited he knew not what, possessed with that vague hope which +persists in the human heart in spite of everything. He awaited in the +corner of the farmyard in the biting December wind, some mysterious aid +from Heaven or from men, without the least idea whence it was to arrive. +A number of black hens ran hither and thither, seeking their food in the +earth which supports all living things. Ever now and then they snapped +up in their beaks a grain of corn or a tiny insect; then they continued +their slow, sure search for nutriment. + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s9"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME IX.</h3> +<pre> + +Full of that common sense which borders on stupidity +Let them respect my convictions, and I will respect theirs +Love that is sacred—not marriage! +Mediocrities and the fools always form the immense majority +Night-robe of streams and meadows +Only being allowed to read religious works or cook-books +Poetry did not seem to be the strong point +Purgatory and paradise according to the yearly income +She went through life in a mood of perpetual discontent +So stupid and they pretend they know everything +Spend his time quietly regretting the past +The tomb is the boundary of conjugal sinning +When we love, we have need of confession +World has made laws to combat our instincts + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s10"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME X.</h3> +<pre> + +"I heard 'birr! birr!' and a magnificent covey rose at ten paces from +me. I aimed. Pif! paf! and I saw a shower, a veritable shower of +birds. There were seven of them!"—And they all went into raptures, +amazed, but reciprocally credulous. + +She was still smiling as she looked at him; she even began to laugh; and +he lost his head trying to find something suitable to say, no matter +what. But he could think of nothing, nothing, and then, seized with a +coward's courage, he said to himself: 'So much the worse, I will risk +everything,' and suddenly, without the slightest warning, he went toward +her, his arms extended, his lips protruding, and, seizing her in his +arms, he kissed her. + +My elder sons never loved me, never petted me, scarcely treated me as a +mother, but during my whole life I did my duty towards them, and I owe +them nothing more after my death. The ties of blood cannot exist without +daily and constant affection. An ungrateful son is less than, a +stranger; he is a culprit, for he has no right to be indifferent towards +his mother. + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s11"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME XI.</h3> +<pre> + +I held my tongue, and thought over those words. Oh, ethics! Oh, logic! +Oh, wisdom! At his age! So they deprived him of his only remaining +pleasure out of regard for his health! His health! What would he do +with it, inert and trembling wreck that he was? They were taking care of +his life, so they said. His life? How many days? Ten, twenty, fifty, +or a hundred? Why? For his own sake? Or to preserve for some time +longer the spectacle of his impotent greediness in the family. + +But all at once one envelope made me start. My name was traced on it in +a large, bold handwriting; and suddenly tears came to my eyes. That +letter was from my dearest friend, the companion of my youth, the +confidant of my hopes; and he appeared before me so clearly, with his +pleasant smile and his hand outstretched, that a cold shiver ran down my +back. Yes, yes, the dead come back, for I saw him! Our memory is a more +perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no +longer exist. + +But she shook with rage, and got up one of those conjugal scenes which +make a peaceable man dread the domestic hearth more than a battlefield +where bullets are raining. + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s12"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME XII.</h3> +<pre> + +Monsieur Saval, who was called in Mantes "Father Saval," had just risen +from bed. He was weeping. It was a dull autumn day; the leaves were +falling. They fell slowly in the rain, like a heavier and slower rain. +M. Saval was not in good spirits. He walked from the fireplace to the +window, and from the window to the fireplace. Life has its sombre days. +It would no longer have any but sombre days for him, for he had reached +the age of sixty-two. He is alone, an old bachelor, with nobody about +him. How sad it is to die alone, all alone, without any one who is +devoted to you! + +He pondered over his life, so barren, so empty. He recalled former days, +the days of his childhood, the home, the house of his parents; his +college days, his follies; the time he studied law in Paris, his father's +illness, his death. He then returned to live with his mother. They +lived together very quietly, and desired nothing more. At last the +mother died. How sad life is! He lived alone since then, and now, in +his turn, he, too, will soon be dead. He will disappear, and that will +be the end. There will be no more of Paul Saval upon the earth. What a +frightful thing! Other people will love, will laugh. Yes, people will +go on amusing themselves, and he will no longer exist! Is it not strange +that people can laugh, amuse themselves, be joyful under that eternal +certainty of death? If this death were only probable, one could then +have hope; but no, it is inevitable, as inevitable as that night follows +the day. + + +</pre> + +<h3><a name="s13"></a>SHORT STORIES VOLUME XIII.</h3> +<pre> + +How I understood them, these who weak, harassed by misfortune, having +lost those they loved, awakened from the dream of a tardy compensation, +from the illusion of another existence where God will finally be just, +after having been ferocious, and their minds disabused of the mirages of +happiness, have given up the fight and desire to put an end to this +ceaseless tragedy, or this shameful comedy. + +Suicide! Why, it is the strength of those whose strength is exhausted, +the hope of those who no longer believe, the sublime courage of the +conquered! Yes, there is at least one door to this life we can always +open and pass through to the other side. Nature had an impulse of pity; +she did not shut us up in prison. Mercy for the despairing! + +If genius is, as is commonly believed, a sort of aberration of great +minds, then Algernon Charles Swinburne is undoubtedly a genius. + +Great minds that are healthy are never considered geniuses, while this +sublime qualification is lavished on brains that are often inferior but +are slightly touched by madness. +</pre> + + + + + +<br><br> +<p>If you wish to read the entire context of any of these quotations, select a short segment and +copy it into your clipboard memory—then open the following eBook and paste the phrase +into your computer's find or search operation.</p> + + +<h3> +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/3/0/9/3090/3090-h/3090-h.htm">Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant, Complete</a> +</h3> + + +<br> +<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote> + +<p>These quotations were collected from the short stories of Maupassant by +<a href="mailto:widger@cecomet.net">David Widger</a> while preparing etexts +for Project Gutenberg.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.net + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + |
