"I mean to write the Story of Midas, with his Golden Touch,
Pandora's Box, The Adventure of Hercules in quest of the Golden
Apples, Bellerophon and the Chimra, Baucis and Philemon, Perseus
and Medusa; these, I think, will be enough to make up a volume. As
a framework, I shall have a young college-student telling these
stories to his cousins and brothers and sisters, during his
vacations, sometimes in the woods and dells. Unless I greatly
mistake, these old fictions will work up admirably for the purpose;
and I shall aim at substituting a tone in some degree Gothic or
romantic, or any such tone as may best please myself, instead of
the classic coldness which is as repellant as the touch of marble.
. . ." -- Nathaniel Hawthorne
