The psycho-analytic study of the family

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

 The circumstances that have led to the production of this little book are, I think, sufficiently explained in the introductory chapter; there is, therefore, no need to dwell upon them here.

Three Great Epoch-Makers in Music

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

 Bearing in mind Emerson\'s saying that every action admits of being outdone, and around every circle another may be drawn, we none the less believe that a comparison of Sebastian Bach, Frederic Chopin and Richard Strauss, will show that, because of excellences peculiar to his day, and also individual excellences, no one of these three...

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

 I found myself standing on my feet, with the tingling sensation of having come down rapidly upon the ground from a height. There was a similar feeling in my head, as of the whirling and sickening sensation of passing downward through the air, like the description Dante gives of his descent upon Geryon.

The Ambiguities
