Excerpt from Recollections, Vol. 1 of 2 The war and our action in it led to my retirement from public Office. The world is travelling under formidable omens into a new era, very unlike the times in which my lot was cast. This is no reason why an effort to recall some lines in the physiognomy Of those times Should be out of place or season. There is an Old saying that to live is to outlive. This is not to tell us that from the tablet should be abolished quite the cheerful past. It means no more than that Ideals have their hours and fade. The oracle of to-day drops from his tripod on the morrow. In common lines Of human thought and act, as in the business of the elements, winds shift, tides ebb and ¿ow, the boat swings. Only let the anchor hold. We should not cast our horoscopes too narrowly. One's first associations must have been ill chosen if fidelity to their essence and foundations comes to be overclouded by the falling mists Of afternoon.
