Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life?
We are determined to be starved before we are hungry.
Men say that a stitch in time saves nine,
and so they take a thousand stitches today to save nine tomorrow.
As for work, we havent any of any consequence.
We have the Saint Vitus dance,and cannot possibly keep our heads still.
If I should only give a few pulls at the parish bellrope, as for a fire,
that is,without setting the bell, there is hardly a man on his farm
in the outskirts of Concord,notwithstanding that press of engagements
which was his excuse so many times this morning,nor a boy, nor a woman,
I might almost say, but would forsake all and follow that sound,
not mainly to save property from the flames,but,
if we will confess the truth, much more to see it burn, since burn it must,
and we, be it known, did not set it on fireor to see it put out,
and have a hand in it, if that is done as handsomely;
yes, even if it were the parish church itself.
Hardly a man takes a half-hours nap after dinner,
but when he wakes he holds up his head and asks,
Whats the news? as if the rest of mankind had stood his sentinels.
Some give directions to be waked every half-hour, doubtless for no other purpose;
and then, to pay for it, they tell what they have dreamed.
After a nights sleep the news is as indispensable as the breakfast.
Pray tell me anything new that has happened to a man anywhere on this globe,
and he reads it over his coffee and rolls,
that a man has had his eyes gouged out this morning on the Wachito River;
never dreaming the while that he lives in the dark unfathomed mammoth cave of this world,
and has but the rudiment of an eye himself.
