Author Description

Excerpt from The Flowers Personified: Being a Translation of Grandville's "Les Fleurs Animées" They rivals of yours -they only add to your charms. In crowds they come daily to die in your hair, or on your bosoms, or more cruelly to perish, as they lie forgotten on the top of the cabinet, or on the cushioned seat in the ball-room or theatre.
