Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lays of a Lifetime: The Record of One Departed Every lifetime has its substance and its shadow. Its substance is itself, breathing, moving, and meditating in the world: its shadow is all of it that the world remembers, and cherishes when it has gone. There seem to be, as it were, two existences given to each person: one, a life amid realities; the other, a life amid memories. In the first, he is a motion, a consciousness, and a delight to himself as well as to others; in the second, he is a motion, stilled; a nature, breathless; a mirrored likeness only, fixed on the bright plates of other minds, - the unconscious object of interest and attraction to them alone. Thus shall have all linger after our lifetime. As we are estimated and regarded now, as our life is strong, marked, and earnest, as its circumstances combine to give it prominence; in other words, as it is memorable, so shall we be remembered. The simple incident of our birth alone, is, of itself, a surety that we shall leave a shadow behind us. Then the tender affinities of nature, the inseverable ties of blood, press and centre upon us.
