Excerpt from Gabriele D Annunzio: Poet of Beauty and Decadence Gabriele d'Annunzio is a man of medium size, outwardly unimpressive, even cold and indifferent, all the more so when in cacophonous tenor he gives vent to a deliberate flow of rhetoric. He is totally bald; with heavy bulging lines of dissoluteness beneath his fishy eyes, one of which was injured in the war. Yet there is in his frigid, non-committal countenance a contour of resoluteness, asserting itself near the mouth, and in his smooth-shaven face furrows of suffering mingle with furrows of incontinence,lashes of virility mingle with suggestions of temperament. The mellowing sculpture of the years, cancelling some of the feebler facial lines, has now left in his expression the imprint of indefatigable enemy of deen-seated intelligence. and a more rigid impression of meditation, harmoniously in keeping with his autumnal season. Such is the man as he appeared in Venice in September, 1918, when, in the uniform of a colonel and not flaunting one of his many medals, he received from the army the gift of an airplane. The sight of this man leaves one utterly disappointed; his work makes men at once idolize or hate him. Somewhere between these two feelings, both of which point to an extraordinary personality, lies the truth. Disliking him as a man and admiring him as a patriot, detesting him as a novelist and praising him as an artist, let us try, briefly and without prejudice, to sketch him as a poet, in his main quality and in his main defect, in his beauty and his decadence.

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Gabriele D Annunzio: Poet of Beauty and Decadence D'annunzio was born in the Abruzzi, very near the birthplace of Ovid, in 1863. Since he is fifty-nine years old, may we not reasonably consider that, having left behind him the more impassioned lyricism of juvenile exuberance, though still in the prime of his Septembral season, he has now revealed the real significance of his life-message? Not that he is no longer a poet. Only minor poets, like minor streams, grow dry in summer. Real poets, though necessarily shifting vision with the shifting perspective of the years, remain poets to their last breath. D'annunzio always was and still is primarily a poet. The principal element of interest in his novels is his poetry, the charm of his dramas is his poetry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
