If a walk across the Park, with a responsive friend, late on the golden afternoon of a warm week-day, and if a consequent desultory stroll, for speculation's sake, through certain northward and eastward streets and avenues, of an identity a little vague to me now, save as a blur of builded evidence as to proprietary incomes--if such an incident ministered, on the spot, to a boundless evocation, it then became history of a splendid order: but I perhaps must add that it became so for the two participants alone, and with an effect after all not easy to communicate. --Henry James, The American Scene, 1907

They're as pleased with her as she is with them. (Foreword)
I have grown a little more used to the idea that we all, as Willa Cather remembered Marcel Proust having written, take our great men and women with us when we go. (Introduction to the First Edition)
Reading is a little different in every time and circumstance; I hope, for you who find this book now, that it may go on offering something of the strange and wonderful companionship these figures found among themselves. (Author's Afterword)
