Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is perhaps the most difficult rejection of all. They are the one you want to be with. Its so obvious. You exist. But the reality is that for them, you are not the one. Every protestation, every effort, every act of love is rebuffed at worse, or kindly set aside at best. This union was clearly never meant to be.1 - Unrequited Love - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - Araby by James Joyce3 - Souls Belated by Edith Wharton4 - The Border Line by D H Lawrence5 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky6 - Winter Dreams by F Scott Fitzgerald7 - An Imaginative Woman by Thomas Hardy8 - On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather9 - Psychology by Katherine Mansfield10 - The Daughter of Lilith by Anatole France11 - Apple Blossom in Brittany by Ernest Dowson12 - The Muse's Tragedy by Edith Wharton13 - A Painful Case by James Joyce14 - The Old Adam by D H Lawrence
