They're all copyright exempt chap - not surprising since they're over 100 years old, and yet as thrilling a read and as relevant as ever.

[Admin's 'Spam-be-Gone' Edit]
From the novel 'Hauntings' by Vernon Lee, 1890.
I have been again; I have heard the music; I have been inside the church; I have seen Her! I can no longer doubt my senses. Why should I? Those pedants say that the dead are dead, the past is past. For them, yes; but why for me?--why for a man who loves, who is consumed with the love of a woman?--a woman who, indeed--yes, let me finish the sentence. Why should there not be ghosts to such as can see them? Why should she not return to the earth, if she knows that it contains a man who thinks of, desires, only her?
A hallucination? Why, I saw her, as I see this paper that I write upon; standing there, in the full blaze of the altar. Why, I heard the rustle of her skirts, I smelt the scent of her hair, I raised the curtain which was shaking from her touch. Again I missed her. But this time, as I rushed out into the empty moonlit street, I found upon the church steps a rose--the rose which I had seen in her hand the moment before--I felt it, smelt it; a rose, a real, living rose, dark red and only just plucked. I put it into water when I returned, after having kissed it, who knows how many times? I placed it on the top of the cupboard; I determined not to look at it for twenty-four hours lest it should be a delusion. But I must see it again; I must.... Good Heavens! this is horrible, horrible; if I had found a skeleton it could not have been worse! The rose, which last night seemed freshly plucked, full of color and perfume, is brown, dry--a thing kept for centuries between the leaves of a book--it has crumbled into dust between my fingers. Horrible, horrible! But why so, pray? Did I not know that I was in love with a woman dead three hundred years? If I wanted fresh roses which bloomed yesterday, the Countess Fiammetta or any little sempstress in Urbania might have given them me. What if the rose has fallen to dust? If only I could hold Medea in my arms as I held it in my fingers, kiss her lips as I kissed its petals, should I not be satisfied if she too were to fall to dust the next moment, if I were to fall to dust myself?
Surely on par with any spooky story of present day construction. I might even have to stop reading the Splendid Spur to further investigate this eerie work of fiction!

Gah! I fear you may have to extend the iron fist of the Administrator and block guest posting.. A sad day indeed...
Or just give us some more thrilling literature, I did enjoy the flavour of the last story, very.. gothic?

I admit it's getting tiresome now. I wouldn't mind so much if they came up with an imaginative name instead of 'dddsf'. I mean come on! I might let their spam stay a day if they called themselves something like, 'Lord Clarence Hat-Stand III'. Instead I must find another book to quote from. Fortunately there are several tens of thousands to choose from. Any specific requests?
