"For life is one long sleep, / O'er which in gusts do sweep / Visions of heaven; / The body but a closed lid, / By which the real world is hid / From the spirit slumbering dark below; / And all our earthly strife and woe, / Tossings in slumber to and fro; / And all we know of heaven and light / In visions of the day or night / To us is given. " / -_Author of "Schönberg-Cotta Family. "_
FOR Mr. Carden-Cox to have a disturbed equanimity meant talk. Whatever he felt flowed outward in the natural vent of talk. This is usually supposed to be a feminine characteristic, but some men inherit it largely from their mothers, and Mr. Carden-Cox possessed it in perfection. The more his feelings were stirred, the more he had to say.
