Excerpt from The Black CurtainOne night a great audience gathered in a fashionable hall to listen to a voice.It is only once in many years that a voice is born into the world to rejoice all mankind with its sweetness and power. Even then, the precious gift is often misused and injured beyond repair before it has won recognition. This voice had been protected and nurtured and trained like some rare and sensitive plant, and it had expanded and taken to itself new grace and melody, as the plant puts forth buds and blossoms and grows apace. The critic had heard it and been unstinted in his praise, and the dilettante had listened and almost forgotten to find fault, and now the common multitude were waiting to render the final verdict.The singer faced the people without fear. Her time of triumph was at hand, but she thought not of self nor of the plaudits of her hearers. To her the voice was a divine gift, to be divinely used.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
