Project Gutenberg 2004-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 204 Moore, George 1852 1933 Moore, George Augustus Rhone, Lady The Lake Produced by Distributed Proofreaders Europe, http://dp.rastko.net Project by Jon Ingram "The Lake" by George Moore is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is centered on Father Oliver Gogarty, a priest reflecting on his life, vocation, and connection to the landscape surrounding a lake in Ireland. Through his walk along the shore, he grapples with memories of family, lost love, and his responsibilities as a servant of the Church, entwined with the picturesque yet melancholic scenery of his home. At the start of the novel, we find Father Oliver navigating a beautiful yet introspective day at the lake, seeking solace and escape from his parish duties. His thoughts drift to memories of his childhood, particularly concerning his sister, Eliza, and the choices that have shaped his path. As he wanders, he considers his growing discontent with monotony and hints at a desire for adventure. He recalls the presence of Nora Glynn, a former schoolmistress, and the impact of her absence on his life, which reveals deeper themes of loss, regret, and the burdens of expectation he carries as a priest. Father Oliver's reflections set the stage for a rich exploration of emotion and the search for meaning in both personal and spiritual domains. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
