    Author

    Sheridan Le Fanu

    J. Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–1873) was an Irish writer who helped develop the ghost story genre in the nineteenth century. Born to a family of writers, Le Fanu released his first works in 1838 in Dublin University Magazine, which he would go on to edit and publish in 1861. Some of Le Fanu’s most famous Victorian Gothic works include Carmilla, Uncle Silas, and In a Glass Darkly. His writing has inspired other great authors of horror and thriller literature such as Bram Stoker and M. R. James.

      PROLOGUE.

      IN Venice, in the Sala del Maggior Consiglio, in the Ducal Palace, in the series of the Doges’ portraits, occurs a blank space with this inscription:— Hic est locus Marini Falieri, decapitati pro criminibus. His half-brother Andrea Faliero, suspected but not convicted of complicity in his treason, suffered the confiscation of all his lands and goods, and a sentence, under pain of death to remain within the liberties of Venice. His noble wife died soon after, in a convent; and he, with his infant daughter, repaired to the island of Torcello, where working in his boat as a fisherman, he maintained himself to his death. His daughter Beatrice having been, by a strange adventure, lost to him in her sixteenth year, he left none on earth of his name and lineage.

      Palazzo on the Canale Grande.

      CHORUS.

      Sad night is o’er the city of the Isles,

      And o’er a palace that amid her glooming

      With a radiant halo smiles,

      While music from its windows booming

      Floats the voice of masque and measure

      Through distant domes and marble piles,

      And hymns the jubilee of youth and pleasure.

      Between the ripple dimly plashing,

      And the dark roof looming high,

      Lost in the funereal sky,

      Like many-coloured jewels flashing,

      Small lamps in loops and rosaries of fire,

      Verdant and blood-red, trembling, turning —

      Yellow and blue — in the deep water burning,

      From dark till dawning

      Illumine all the wide concave,

      And plash and stain the marble and the wave.

      From balconies in air,

      Th’ emblazoned silken awning

      Flows like a lazy sail;

      And gondoliers down there,

      And masks upon the stair,

      Hear music swelling o’er them like a gale.

      Italian grace and gaiety,

      And silver-bearded policy,

      Princes and soldiers, sage and great,

      The craft and splendour of the State,

      Proud dames, and Adria’s fair daughters,

      The sirens of Venetian waters,

      Beautiful as summer dreams

      Dreamed in haunted forest glade,

      By silvery streams in leafy gleams,

      Floating through the awful shade.

      The noble palace peopled was right meetly,

      And in its wide saloons the dance went featly,

      And high above the hum

      Swelled the thunder and the hoot

      Of theorbo and viol, of the hautboy and the flute,

      And the roaring of the drum.

      SCENE.

      A room in the same Palazzo, apart from the Masques and Dancers.

      (Young Julio Contarini, leaning against a pillar, looks sadly through the window, his arms folded and his mask in his hand.)
