BELLE-LETTRES AMOR IMMORTALIS

The Literary Theory

2000 A.D.

Five-hundred years ago there lived in England two star-crossed lovers. What they lived, wrote and left has been secreted away all this time, until now.

The Literary Theory is the story of Chauncey and Claire, two who lived at the end of the Middle Ages in merry, olde England. Claire was coy and made Chauncey wait, till he prove his love. And so he waited and he wrote and the proof of love he left in rhyme and time, and a true love's heart. So this, my merry, modern wayfarer, be a pathos-filled tale told mighty and well. This tale be as old as today is new and speaks of love, bold and true.

This book be half-a-thousand years old, this book be strong in joy and rhyme this book be bold and unafraid and possess no woe nor dread of time, that power which gives to mortal things, apprehension in their wings—that flight will cease and the earth be sought—for time to rest and come to naught. Apprehension is not here—for this book be not of fear—this book be immortality. This tome be time's epitome, from ancient loam beyond the sea. . . .

This book be for the fully alive and for those who wish to be. It be for those who are in love and for those who wish to see, that love is the best of all formed things beneath this day-star bright, and beneath the white stars that form night. All it cost is just some time, and charges fee—of tear and joy and mortal cloy. This book be for strong souls, for bold and meek souls, and I can promise some wise thing here will give some salt to tear, then make of it some less a bit, and give dull minds a jig to wit. I assure you it be bright with life, it be for husband to give to wife, if love-struck he wish to be. It be the buttered bread in hearts, and warm knife to carve love in equal parts.

So I beg some time-spell, some quiet moment of yours, to peruse these tales as ancient as shores. These two ruddy roses, fettered and twined by time in old England's heart, who had not the good luck or fortune for longer part. But there be no end to them here nor there, and as bold as Chauncey was, twice bold was Claire. The stars themselves were no match for this pair. The devil himself would not dare to stare, down the game and gallant Chauncey, nor his beautiful and brave Claire.

The hands that wrote these tales are together yet. And glad we must be, those two met. They gave the rhyme in their hearts for each other a test—and kept love's promise safe and fully blessed. Now their hearts rest together in England's cold and wet weather—in some forgotten God's acre, their atoms have gone back to dust—but their souls to their maker.

The imprint of their hearts here, all of a piece.
