The Sacred Fount by Henry James
"The Sacred Fount" by Henry James is a novel published in 1901. An unnamed narrator spends a weekend at an English country estate, obsessively theorizing about the romantic relationships of his fellow guests. He believes some lovers drain vitality and intelligence from their partners like a "sacred fount," leaving them aged or diminished. As he constructs increasingly elaborate theories about who is with whom, the line between insight and delusion blurs. This
enigmatic first-person narrative explores observation, imagination, and the danger of over-interpretation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
