Love Instigated: The Story of a Carved Ivory Umbrella Handle
Written in the late 19th century by Douglass Sherley, 'Love Instigated' is a whimsical short story that intertwines love and art through the lens of a carved ivory umbrella handle. The first-person narrative explores the protagonist's reflections on the handle's aesthetic appeal and its role in instigating a romantic tale involving Roderick Dhu and a 'Maiden Priestess.' The story delves into themes of attraction, desire, and the absurdities of courtship, highlighting the dual nature of love as both inspiring and burdensome.
