Mosses From An Old Manse - The Intelligence Office

from The Nathaniel Hawthorne Library · host Nathaniel Hawthorne

In which a sombre Intelligence Office serves as a repository and marketplace for the myriad desires, losses, and yearnings of the city’s inhabitants, where each visitor seeks to barter or recover some treasure of the heart, fortune, or spirit. The Man of Intelligence, a solemn and inscrutable figure, records these entreaties and exchanges with quiet detachment, revealing both the poignancy and the futility of human wishes amid the bustle of mortal life.
