| Summary | "Far Off Things" by Arthur Machen is a reflective memoir written in the early 20th century. The work delves into Machen's personal experiences and memories, primarily focusing on his upbringing in Wales, exploring themes of nostalgia, the passage of time, and the impact of place on the imagination. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Machen’s contemplations as he recalls a convivial evening among a literary society, which triggers memories of his youthful days spent in the serene countryside of Gwent, Wales. He vividly describes the juxtaposition of the vibrant life in London, contrasted with the tranquil, enchanted landscapes of his childhood, hinting at how these early impressions have profoundly influenced his literary endeavors. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Machen cherishes the beauty of his rural roots and the rich tapestry of his experiences, entwined with both the joys and challenges that shaped his life as a writer.
