The Moderate Monarchy: Or Principles Of The British Constitution, Described In A Narrative Of The Life And Maxims Of Alfred The Great And His Counselors (1849) - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
When man attains the age of maturity, the illusions of younger years mostly vanish. All that he had ardently desired to acquire in life seems not worthy the exertions; that which he had formerly cherished with the warmest passion, he now looks upon as transient, like all things in this world; and, besides religion and domestic happiness, little remains to attach himself to, as in former years. Although the enchanting visions of youth love, fame, and honours have fled from his sight, the recollections of the grandeur of some ideals, based on history, whom he venerated in his youth, are not wholly extinguished in maturer age.
