Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches "Yes, - I am he, - who look´d and saw decay Steal o´er the lov´d of earth, -the ador´d too much. - It is a fearful thing, to love what Death may touch." - Mrs. Hemans. I Was in the full tide of a laborious and absorbing profession, of one which imposes on intellect an unsparing discipline, but ultimately opens the avenues to wealth and fame. I pursued it, as one determined on distinction, as one convinced that mind may assume a degree of omnipotence over matter and circumstance, and popular opinion. Ambition´s promptings were strong within me, nor was its career unprosperous. - I had no reason to com plain that its promises were deceptive, or its harvest tardy. Yet as my path was among the competitions and asperities of men, a character combining strong elements might have been in danger of becoming indurated, had it not been softened and refined by the domestic charities. Conjugal love, early fixing on an object most amiable and beautiful, was as a fountain of living water, springing up to allay thirst, and to renovate weariness.
