- | "THIS volume is written to show the life of the students in the [[Paris]] of to-day. It has an additional interest in opening to inspection certain phases of [[Bohemian life]] in Paris that are shared both by the students and the public, but that are generally unfamiliar to visitors to that wonderful city, and even to a very large part of the city's population itself. It depicts the [[underside|under-side]] of such life as the students find,—the loose, [[unconventional]] life of the [[humble]]r [[struggle]]rs in literature and art, with no attempt to spare its [[salient]] features, its [[poverty]] and [[picturesque]]ness, and its lack of adherence to generally accepted standards of morals and conduct."--''[[Bohemian Paris of To-day]]'' (1899) by W. C. Morrow | + | "At this moment, however, he lived in the clouds; he breathed and glowed with the spirit of shiftless, proud, [[starving]] [[Bohemianism]] as it is lived in Paris, benignantly disdainful of the great moiling, money-grubbing world that roared around him, and perhaps already the adoration of some girl of poetic or artistic tastes and aspirations, who was serving him as only the Church gives a woman the right."--''[[Bohemian Paris of To-day]]'' (1899) by W.

William Chambers Morrow (1854 – 1923) was an American writer, now noted mainly for his short stories of horror and suspense. He is probably best known for the much-anthologised story "His Unconquerable Enemy" (1889), about the implacable revenge of a servant whose limbs have been amputated on the orders of a cruel rajah.
Morrow published an apparently journalistic work called Bohemian Paris of Today (1900), from "notes by Edouard Cucuel".
