Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pages From an Adventurous Life I Have, in the following pages, written a good deal about myself, and a little about those I have known - that little, in most cases, with sadness and pain. Few of us, alas! can look back over the road we have travelled without regrets and sighs; for we cannot close our eyes to the green mounds and white gravestones which tell of dear companions who, having journeyed with us some of the way, fell out of the race, and passed into the shadows. I have helped to lay so many friends to rest, and have so frequently parted in love and affection from those I was destined to meet no more, that my heart has been often bruised. In youth and early manhood one makes friends, but as they die off their places remain empty. To write of the comrades with whom you have marched, laughed, and sometimes wept, but who are now nothing more than a memory, is a painful task, and I confess, nor am I ashamed of the weakness, that at times my eyes have grown dim and my pen has faltered. Having outlived most of my near relatives, and being the sole survivor of my particular branch of the family, there are moments when I feel as if I were living in a world of shades. In this story of myself I have purposely adopted a somewhat discursive style, nor have I followed events in strict chronological order. A stiff, conventional narrative form did not, somehow, recommend itself to me. I have done little more than refer to my childhood.
