The Marquis of Lossie by George MacDonald, an English-language classic.
The Marquis of Lossie is a work by George MacDonald.
From the opening pages: “It was one of those exquisite days that come in every winter, in which it seems no longer the dead body, but the lovely ghost of summer. Such a day bears to its sister of the happier time something of the relation the marble statue bears to the living form; the sense it awakes of beauty is more abstract, more ethereal; it lifts the soul into a higher region than will summer day of lordliest splendour. It is like the love that loss has purified.”
