Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Literary Extracts From English and Other Works, Vol. 2: Collected During Half a Century: Together With Some Original Matter Thus, by confounding the weaker, and by tiring out the acuter judgment, he seldom failed to attain his ends. Osborn´s Advice to a Son. [Quoted in Seward´s Anecdotes, Vol. I.p. 383.] Laughter.

To pride, or emptiness, applies the straw That tickles little minds to mirth effuse; Of grief approaching, the portentous sign! The house of laughter makes a house of woe. Young´s Night Thoughts. [Night VIII.] Ah, my friends! while we laugh, all things are serious around us: God is serious, who exerciseth patience towards us; Christ is serious, who shed his blood for us; the Holy Ghost is serious, who striveth against the obstinacy of our ♥ the Holy Scriptures bring to our ears the most serious things in the world; the Holy Sacraments represent the most serious and awful matters; the whole Creation is serious in serving God and us; and all that are in heaven and hell are serious: how, then, can we be gay?
