He was a painter, a poet, a novelist. He lived during the Hungarian revolution and his love of freedom meant his life was often in peril. She was his first love, this girl with the eyes like the sea. She was at heart noble, good and loving. What an excellent lady might have been made out of this woman, if she had only met with a husband who, in the most ordinary acceptance of the word, had been a good fellow, as is really the case with about nine men out of every ten. But she always managed to draw the unlucky tenth out of the urn of destiny. And so she spurned his true love in favor of a high-flying dandy. He went on to pursue a life of politics and she to follow her capricious heart. But yet, throughout her life, she kept returning to him, and to the end, of all men, she loved him perhaps best of all.
The reason I loved history as a subject in school was that it so full of drama at its core. They are stories but not a work of fiction. History helped me know where did we come from, the struggles, and the knowledge to not repeat them again. That is what makes history so beautiful. Read and listen to these stories that have created the world as is.
