The Vision of the Fountain (From "Twice Told Tales") by Nathaniel Hawthorne

"The Vision of the Fountain (From 'Twice Told Tales')" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story first published in 1837. Part of Hawthorne's acclaimed collection, this tale explores themes of vision, memory, and the boundary between reality and imagination. Like much of Hawthorne's work, the story blends psychological depth with his characteristic purity of style. The narrative invites readers into a contemplative world where perception itself becomes uncertain, demonstrating the "depth and tenderness of feeling" that made the Twice-Told Tales collection a landmark of American literature.
