Excerpt from Le Chevalier Delibere In the morning the Author hears mass in the Hermit's chapel, and then Understanding opens his reliquary, which is filled with relics of the victories of Accident - he ploughshare with which Abel was killed, the pillar by whose overthrow Samson slew his enemies, the fiery shirt of Hercules, the daggers with which Caesar was killed by those he counted his friends, Antipater's box of poison from which Alexander died, the lance with which Achilles slew Hector and the bow with which he himself was slain by Paris, and many other such relics. If the Author comes again Understanding will show him the like relics of Weakness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
