Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Good Old Age: A Sermon Occasioned by the Death of Hon. John Davis Each age in the life of man has a beauty of its own. Infancy is beautiful, in its unstained innocence, - the breathing work of a divine statuary. Childhood is beautiful, with its open brow, its bright eye, its glad spirit, and its trusting affection. Youth is beautiful, through its elastic motions, its hopeful confidence and its free energy. Manhood is beautiful, with its firm step, its strong heart, its earnest industry and its various power of accomplishment. The ripeness of declining life is beautiful, when the passions are held under a wise control, and character has collected within itself the influences of reflection and the fruits of experience. And old age is beautiful, in its calm wisdom, its gentle repose, its venerable appearance, and its conscious preparation for the change which awaits it.
