Excerpt from Philip Augustus, or the Brothers in Arms, Vol. 1 of 2Notwithstanding that there is something chilling in that sad, inevitable word, the past-notwithstanding that in looking through the thronged rolls of history, , and reading of all the dead passions, the fruitless anxieties, the vain unproductive yearnings of beings that were once as full of thrilling life and feeling as ourselves, - and now are nothing, notwithstanding that therein we gain but the cold moral of our own littleness, yet still the very indistinctness of the distance softens and beautifies the objects that we thus look back upon in a former epoch, and in the far prospect of the days gone by, a thousand bright and glistening spots stand out, and c h the last most brilliant rays of a sun that has long the multitude of smaller things around them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
