Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Paradox That I gave, that I saved. And there is a rough truth under its uncouth ness. But in a higher sense than the mere monetary one pointed out in the half-tmth of the epigram, it is very true that, that I lost, that I have. No one who is familiar with sorrow is ignorant that sorrows have a way of. Turning to joys, and that the only loved ones that our hearts keep are those that we have lost for ever. The lover on fire with his mistress' charms khows no future indeed, it is the secret of passion that it makes the instant everything, and has a fine con tempt for what that ghost, to-morrow, may do.
