In Praise of Folly is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in 1511. The essay was inspired by De Triumpho Stultitiae, written by the Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli, born at Tredozio, near Forlì. Erasmus revised and extended the work, which he originally wrote in the space of a week while sojourning with Sir Thomas More at More's estate in Bucklersbury. In Praise of Folly is considered one of the most notable works of the Renaissance and was employed as one of the catalysts of the Protestant Reformation. [more]

There was one large wicker chair on the piazza, and in the chair sat a girl. It was a spacious piazza, the roof of which was supported by gnarled tree-trunks, the bark and the knots carefully preserved so as to look "rustic." The deep eaves drooped in a rustic manner also, and there were trumpet-vines and wistaria, and various other creeping things of the vegetable world, wandering about in a careful carelessness, like the hair of a woman when it is dressed most effectively.

The Ascending Sun Threw Its Slanting Rays Abroad On A Glorious August Morning, And The Little World Below Began To Awaken Into Life--The Life Of Another Day Of Sanguine Pleasure Or Of Fretting Care. Not On Many Fairer Scenes Did Those Sunbeams Shed Their Radiance Than On One Existing In The Heart Of England; But Almost Any Landscape Will Look Beautiful In The Early Light Of A Summer'S Morning. The County, One Of The Midlands, Was Justly Celebrated For Its Scenery; Its Rich Woods And Smiling Plains, Its River And Gentler Streams. The Harvest Was Nearly Gathered In--It Had Been A Late Season--But A Few Fields Of Golden Grain, In Process Of Reaping, Gave Their Warm Tints To The Landscape. [more]
