Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Van Cleve There comes a time in everybody´s life when all the most important events of it seem, somehow, to have occurred about ten years ago. Tom went into business, Dick got married, Harry died - poor fellow! - Such-a-one was born and Such-another started off to Europe, Timbuctoo, the North Pole. These landmarks some of them look a deal too much like gravestones in our little individual cemetery of failures and regrets - considered in perspective, crowd together at the far end according to the familiar illusion of perspectives; and I suppose it is Youth that we may painfully discern vanishing down that indistinguishable vista, with Middle Age grimly or furtively peering out of your eyes and mine here in the foreground. The present writer, for an instance, being about to record the circumstances of a first meeting with certain of the personages that figure herein, was upon the point of announcing that it took place ten years ago, or such a matter, when, in a shock of recollection, she became aware that it must be much nearer twenty - alack and alas!
