Project Gutenberg 2005-03-26 Public domain in the USA. 117 Abercrombie, Lascelles 1881 1938 Emblems of Love Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Keren Vergon, S.R. Ellison and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Emblems of Love" by Lascelles Abercrombie is a poetic work that takes on the format of a collection of discourses written in the early 20th century. The book delves deeply into themes of love, beauty, and the human experience, weaving various characters and situations that explore these concepts, including notable figures such as Vashti and her interactions with Ahasuerus. The text combines rich, evocative language with philosophical reflections, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of love and its impact on human existence. At the start of "Emblems of Love," the scene is set with Brys and Gast, two warriors discussing the imminent threat posed by wolves in a bleak, night-time setting. Their conversation reveals their contrasting attitudes toward fear and the cosmos; while Brys finds pride and joy in the fear induced by the stars, Gast warns of the danger they represent. The narrative then shifts to Vashti, who is engaged in a conversation with King Ahasuerus, examining their relationship through the lens of love and power. Through Vashti's compelling dialogue, the text raises profound questions about gender roles, the essence of love, and the intersection of the spiritual and physical realms in human relationships. This opening portion establishes a thematic foundation that promises an intricate analysis of love's multifaceted nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
