Domnei A Comedy of Women Worship

Published in 1920. From the Preface: That vision, dominating Mr. Cabell’s pages, the record of his revealed idealism, brings, specially to Domnei, a beauty, finely escaping the dusty confusion of any present. It is a book laid in a purity, a serenity, of space above the vapors, the bigotry and engendered spite, of dogma and creed. True to yesterday, it will be faithful of tomorrow; for, in the evolution of humanity, not necessarily the turn of a wheel upward, certain qualities have remained at the center, undisturbed. And, of these, none is more fixed than an abstract love.
