From a Cornish Window
A New Edition
Produced by Lionel Sear
"From a Cornish Window" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a discursive work blending personal reflection and commentary, likely written in the early 20th century. This piece captures the musings of the author, who reflects on life, art, politics, and the natural world, often viewed through the lens of his Cornish surroundings. The author’s voice conveys both a deep appreciation for the beauty of life and a critical stance towards contemporary societal trends and philosophies. The opening of the work features a dedication and preface, wherein Quiller-Couch lays out his thoughts on various philosophical doctrines that he contends undermine genuine human values. He reflects on the passage of time and the nature of literary creation, introducing the reader to his contemplative existence as he gazes out from his window overlooking a harbor. The author employs a mixture of poetry, humor, and philosophical inquiry to address human experience, his reflections punctuated by a vivid portrayal of the harbor’s allure. Through this rich, layered dialogue, Quiller-Couch invites readers into a world of introspection, creativity, and the complexities of his thoughts and experiences.
