Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Carringtons of High Hill: An Old Virginia Chronicle "Long, long ago - years upon years - when I was young and giddy, one of my dearest delights was to picture to myself what I should like to be and to do if the management of my life were committed to me. I have been giving the question half-an-hour´s hard thinking this morning. Real thinking - not castle-building with glorified wood, hay, and stubble, but logical deductions and all that, you know, as serious as anything I ever learned in ´Watts On the Mind.´ And I have come to a sane and settled conclusion." The pause that followed the speech was half a minute long before the solitary auditor said: "And that was - " "That is, my dear aunt! The present tense - if you please! I feel sublimely certain that "´Were the whole realm of Nature mine,´ at this blessed minute, I should rather be just what I am and here, and now, than to be Semiramis, Cleopatra, and ´the fair girl Victoria´ (as the newspapers call her) rolled into one miracle of loveliness and cleverness and authority."
