"Liber Amoris, Or, The New Pygmalion" by William Hazlitt is a romantic narrative, likely written in the early 19th century. The work explores themes of unrequited love and the emotional turmoil that accompanies deep attachments, centering around the complex relationship between the main character and a woman referred to as Sarah. Hazlitt's prose captures the nuances of longing, devotion, and torment, offering readers an intimate look at the struggles of the heart. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the context of the main character's experiences, which emerge from a romantic and painful relationship. The protagonist, referred to as H., has a profound attachment to Sarah, whom he recalls with idealization and despair. Their conversations reveal depths of emotion, where H. expresses his overwhelming feelings and fears of losing her, juxtaposed with his awareness of her reluctance to reciprocate his affection fully. Through dialogues filled with passion and vulnerability, Hazlitt sets the stage for a story steeped in longing, highlighting the protagonist's emotional conflicts and the impact of societal expectations on love. This opening portion establishes a poignant narrative where love is both an uplifting and a devastative force, inviting readers into a world of intimate and turbulent human emotions.
