Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Experience of Life I am not going to write a tale, not at least what is usually so called. A tale is, for the most part, only a vignette, a portion of the great picture of life, having no definite limit, yet containing one prominent object, in which all the interest is concentrated. But this is not a real representation of human existence. For one person whose life has been marked by some very striking event, there are hundreds who pass to their graves with nothing to distinguish the different periods of their probation, but the changes which steal upon them so naturally as scarcely to occasion a momentary surprise. They hope and enjoy, they are disappointed and sad, but no one points to the history of their lives as containing warning or example. They are born unthought-of beyond their own immediate circle, and die lamented only by a few; and we pass over their names in the obituary of the day with the same strange indifference with which we hear the aggregate amount of deaths in a battle; forgetting that for each individual soul in the vast multitude there has been a special day of trial, a special providence of guidance; and there will be a special day of reckoning and doom. These thoughts have pressed much upon me of late, when looking back upon my own life through a space of sixty years.
