“In the chequered area of human experience the seasons are all mingled as in the golden age: fruit and blossom hang together; in the same moment the sickle is reaping and the seed is sprinkled; one tends the green cluster and another treads the wine-press. Nay, in each of our lives harvest and spring-time are continually one, until Death himself gathers us and sows us anew in his invisible fields.” LifeHumansMomentsAgeTogetherOur LivesFieldsSpringAreasSeasonsGreenWinePressesFruitSeedsInvisibleGoldenHarvestHuman ExperienceGolden AgeClustersSpring Time Book:Daniel Deronda Source: Daniel Deronda
“There is more of turn than of truth in a saying of Seneca, "That drunkenness does not produce but discover faults." Common experience teaches the contrary.
