Synopsis "the listener"

The same walls, too, carried mirrors in which I used sometimes to see reflected the misty lawns of childhood, the daisy chains, the wind-torn blossoms scattered through the orchard by warm rains, the robbers' cave in the long walk, and the hidden store of apples in the hayloft. She was my inseparable companion then--but, when the door slammed, the mirrors cracked across their entire length, and the visions they held vanished for ever. Now I am quite alone. At forty one cannot begin all over again to build up careful friendships, and all others are comparatively worthless.

(United Kingdom, 1869 - 1951). Writer of fantastic tales, journalist, and radio broadcaster. He narrated his own writings on radio and television and wrote an autobiography of his early years. His work, The Willows, is considered one of the best horror stories in history. He was a major influence on H.P. Lovecraft, who described him as "the unquestionable and absolute master of spectral atmosphere".
