Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christianity the End and Unity of All Sciences and Pursuits: An Address Delivered Before the Alumni of Yale College, New Haven, September So the dream of life is passing away! Ten, twenty, forty, fifty years have gone since we left these tranquil shades, and we meet to-day like ships on the sea, to compare our reckoning and report our progress. The day when we graduated at college, like every other epoch in our lives, was the confluence of regrets and gladness. The event had been long and eagerly anticipated by us and our friends, yet when it was reached, we were strangely reluctant to pass it. The transition from the Georgies to the Æneids of life - from preparatory culture to earnest action - is never made without some violence to the sensibilities. No chemistry works so quick and sure as that which decides the affinities of character within the walls of a college: and the sudden disruption of youthful intimacies, which for years had been cemented by common pursuits, the daily walk, the holiday ramble, and all the reveries and projects of future life, did not occur without a pang.
