The Empire of Love
Publisher Description
This book is represented of love. It does but adds to the offense of these unlovely people that in what the world calls morality they are above reproach, for they instill a hatred of morality itself by their appropriation of it. Before them love flies aghast, and the tenderness emotions of the heart fall withered. Could the annals of human misery be fairly written, it might appear that not all the lusts and crimes which are daily blazoned to the eye have wrought such wide-spread misery, have inflicted such general unhappiness, as these sins of temper, so common in their operation that they pass almost unreached, but so wide-spread in their effects that their havoc is discovered in every feature of our social life. The Revelations of grief the house of pride I lived with Pride; the house was hung with tapestries of rich design.
