| Summary | "King Midas: A Romance" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around young Arthur, an aspiring poet, and Helen, the vibrant, beautiful daughter of a clergyman, as they navigate their incredibly charged feelings for one another amidst an enchanting backdrop of nature. The tale explores themes of love, artistic ambition, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of "King Midas: A Romance" introduces readers to a picturesque May morning in a lush forest, where Arthur, a young man clad in black, finds solace among blooming flowers and a playful stream. His serene moment is interrupted by the arrival of Helen, a captivating young girl whose spirit embodies the joy of springtime. As they reminisce about their shared past and the deep bond they formed as children, Arthur's long-buried feelings rise to the surface. However, as their casual reunion unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that the love he harbors is not reciprocated in the same way, leading to tension that unfolds dramatically. The beginning of the story establishes a rich setting that enhances the emotional stakes between the characters, hinting at the conflicts and challenges that will follow in their journey.
