Project Gutenberg 2004-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 158 Various Verschillende Various, Various The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 08, No. 45, July, 1861 A Magazine of Literature, Art, and Politics E-text prepared by Joshua Hutchinson, Tonya Allen, and Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 08, No. 45, July, 1861" by Various is a literary magazine published in the mid-19th century. The volume contains a rich tapestry of poems, essays, and stories that reflect the cultural, artistic, and political landscapes of the time, likely focusing on themes such as the American Civil War's impact on society, faith, and personal relationships. The opening of this volume presents a poignant and reflective poem that speaks to the somber realities of war, urging a shift from frivolity to somberness in the face of battle's grimness. Following this, an excerpt from "Agnes of Sorrento" introduces us to the contemplative life within a convent, where Mother Theresa and her nuns engage in embroidery and song. We meet Agnes, a young girl with a pure yet complicated heart, who is grappling with the complexities of faith, love, and the call for compassion amidst her everyday interactions. Her encounter with a young cavalier, who asks for her prayers, adds layers of intrigue and foreshadows the tensions between love, duty, and religious devotion that may unfold throughout the narrative. The opening sets the tone for a meditative exploration of spiritual and societal themes against the backdrop of a period marked by profound change and conflict.
