Book Description
Excerpt from A Child's Romance, Vol. 1 It is with a kind of fear that I approach the enigma of my impressions at the beginning of life, doubting whether indeed I felt them myself, or whether they were not, rather, remoter memories mysteriously transmitted. I feel a sort of religious reluctance to sound those depths. On emerging from primeval night my mind did not grow gradually to the light by progressive gleams, but by sudden flashes of illumination, which abruptly dilated my childish eyes and fixed me in watchful reveries, and which then vanished, plunging me once more into the total unconsciousness of little new-born animals, of infant plants that have just begun to sprout.
