Portrait of the Blue Lady: The Character of Melancholy

0/5 ( ratings)

This book, written in a lyrical style with wit and passion, intends to redeem melancholy and restore it to its rightful place in the human psyche, as a Muse of creative force, a characteristic of greatness, and a bittersweet comfort in the sensitive soul.
