The Worshipper of the Image is a novel by Richard Le Gallienne that tells the story of a young artist named Severn who becomes obsessed with a beautiful statue of a woman. The statue is said to be the embodiment of a goddess, and Severn becomes convinced that he must worship and serve her. His obsession leads him down a dangerous path, as he becomes increasingly isolated from society and begins to lose touch with reality. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters who challenge his beliefs and force him to confront the consequences of his actions. The novel explores themes of love, obsession, and the nature of art and beauty. It is a haunting and thought-provoking work that has been praised for its lyrical prose and vivid imagery.No wonder Beatrice had been frightened. Was there some mysterious life in the thing, after all? Why should these indefinite forebodings come over him as he looked at her!--But he was growing as childish as Beatrice. Surely midnight, a dark wood, a lantern, and a death-mask, with two owls whistling to each other across the valley, were enough to account for any number of forebodings! But Antony shivered, for all that, as he locked the door and hastened back again down the wood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
