Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chace: A Poem The old and infirm have at least this privilege, that they can recall to their minds those scenes of Joy in which they once delighted, and ruminate over their past pleasures, with a satisfaction almost equal to the first enjoyment. For those ideas, to which any agreeable sensation is annexed, are easily excited; as leaving behind them the most strong and permanent impressions. The amusements of our youth are the boast and comfort of our declining years. The ancients carried this notion even yet further, and supposed their heroes in the Elysian Fields were fond of the very same diversions they exercised on earth. Death itself could not wean them from the accustomed sports and gayeties of life. Pars in gramineis exercent membra palæstris, Contendunt ludo, et sulvâ luctantur arenâ: Pars pedibus plaudunt choreas, et carmina dicunt. Arma procul currusque virûm miratur inanes.
