Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from For Better, for Worse: A Story From Temple Bar, and Tales of the Day, Complete The time was evening; the scene a small quiet garden, ivy-covered walls shutting out every thing belonging to the old city but the gray weather-stained tower of the cathedral close beside it; the persons, a youngman twenty-five years old, and a girl about a year younger, tall and slight, with pale oval face, dark hair, and deep earnest gray eyes. They were in earnest conversation. "It seems very hypocritical of me to talk of despising riches when so much happiness or misery apparently depends on their possession." "Perhaps, Ralph, it is the temptation against which we are appointed to struggle. Every heart has its own especial trial to pass through. We are poor, and so are always sighing for riches, in a vague belief they would give us the one thing wanting to make us happy; and yet with riches how often comes the closing up of the heart against all its better and holier impulses!" "I dare say, if the truth were told, poverty is not so great an evil as we are often led to believe. If we are obliged to calculate ways and means so narrowly, and debar ourselves from the pleasures and luxuries others indulge in, it is very good discipline for the heart; it calls out energies we might not know we possessed, had no motive arisen for exerting them."
