Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of a Lover
But then, with returning strength, there came metaphysical skepticism. These great strue tures of philosophy seemed to me to be houses of cards, toys for imaginative children. And at the same time there burst upon me, with re newed intensity, the world of sensuous art, the direct, disturbing force of Nature, the mysteri ous appeal of Woman. Philosophy had pre pared me for a greater absorption in life than would otherwise have been possible. It helped to make me incapable of what men call prae tical life, and made me attach values only to significant things.
