Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prose Miscellanie
The shuttle flies back and forth, from one extreme to the other, as the Loom relentlessly, incessantly, does its work; and, at most, we can but hope that the finished fabric will show some golden strands where the web and the woof have intertwined. To most of us there come, now and then, bright days and exalted moods. The angel of our best nature hovers about us, softening, refining, inspiring. We forget the sordid and the selfish; we are wrapt in communion with all that is tender and noble and true: are filled with the beauty of nature and with radiant thoughts.
