The Line of Love is a novel written by James Branch Cabell, first published in 1905. The story follows the life of a young man named Manuel who is born into a wealthy family in the fictional land of Poictesme. Manuel is a talented musician and artist, but he is also restless and dissatisfied with his life. He becomes infatuated with a woman named Niafer, who is married to a wealthy merchant. Despite the obstacles in their way, Manuel and Niafer begin a secret affair.As their relationship deepens, Manuel becomes increasingly disillusioned with his privileged upbringing and begins to question the values of his society. He becomes involved in a revolutionary movement that seeks to overthrow the ruling class and create a more just society. However, his involvement in the movement puts him in danger and threatens his relationship with Niafer.The Line of Love is a thought-provoking novel that explores themes of love, class, and social justice. Cabell's writing is lyrical and poetic, and he creates a vivid and detailed world that draws the reader in. The novel is a classic of early 20th-century literature and remains a powerful and relevant work today.Roger scoffed. Love, love! O you piece of ice! You gray-stone saint! What do you know of love? Master Darke caught both her hands in his. Now, by Almighty God, our Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus Christ! he said, between his teeth, his eyes flaming; I, Roger Darke, have offered you undefiled love and you have mocked at it. Ha, Tears of Mary! how I love you! And you mean to marry this man for his title! Do you not believe that I love you, Adelais? he whimpered.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
