Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Penny Sunday Reader, Vol. 2 By the blessing of God, we have been permitted to bring a second volume to its conclusion, and again to address our readers upon our past operations and future plans. On considering what we shall say, one of the first things which occurs to our thoughts, and, therefore, the first thing we shall notice is, what a large portion of our time, and of opportunities of doing good, is gone for ever! How many of those things, which we proposed to ourselves to do in these volumes, are left undone! Again and again, have we heard, and made the remark, that, however long a time a year may seem, when we look forward, it will be found very short, when we look back upon it. We have often read, and quoted, these beautiful lines of Young: To man´s false optics (from his folly false) Time, in advance, behind him hides his wings, And seems to creep decrepit with his age. Behold him when past by; what then is seen But his broad pinions swifter than the winds? And all mankind, in contradiction strong, Rueful, aghast, cry out on his career. But, never have we felt this truth more forcibly, than when looking back upon the time which has elapsed since we began the Penny Sunday Reader.
