That beautiful 'yesterday' of dreams and laughter when our boys were home when Walter and I read and rambled and watched new moons and sunsets together in Rainbow Valley. If it could just come back! But yesterdays never come back, little Jims and the todays are dark with clouds and we dare not think about the tomorrows." 11th December 1917 "Wonderful news came today.
She was wide-awake at once, as are those whose yesterdays, to-days and to-morrows are all alike. Rose never opened her eyes to the dim, tantalising half-consciousness of a something delightful or a something harrowing in store for her that day.
"It must be happy there!" said Gnulemah, looking cityward. "So many Balders and Gnulemahs!" "Why happy?" asked the man of the world, with a faint smile. "We are only two, and have known each other to-day and yesterday. But they, you said, are as many as the stars, and have been together many yesterdays." Such was the woman's unclinched argument, leaving her listener to draw the inference.
That is quite a brave photograph of you outside the theater, madam. The Dancing Venus. If we had tears we would shed them. The Dancing Venus, indeed! We smile as you smiled yourself when you saw it for the first time. But good-by. Master Francois Villon sang it all long ago. Yesterdays, yesterdays, here is a street of yesterdays.
O children, open your hearts to me, And tell me your wonder-thoughts; Who lives in the palace inside your brain? Who plays in its outer courts? Who hides in the hours To-morrow holds? Who sleeps in your yesterdays? Who tiptoes along past the curtained folds Of the shadow that twilight lays?
Teach them that each generation begins the world afresh, in perfect freedom; that the present is not the prisoner of the past, but that today holds captive all yesterdays, to compare, to judge, to accept, to reject their teachings, as these are shown by its own morning's sun.
With Pierre at his side, Jeanne was still with him; but now that Pierre was gone there came a change in him one of those unaccountable transmutations of the mind which make the passing of yesterdays more like a short dream than a long and full reality. He walked slowly over the plain, and, when he came to the trail beaten by the hoofs of his own teams he followed it mechanically.
They are not there. We may paddle many moons on the sea, but our canoes will never enter the channel that leads to the yesterdays of the Indian people. These things are lost, just like 'The Island of the North Arm. They may be somewhere nearby, but no one can ever find them." "But there are many islands up the North Arm," I asserted.
To be able to handle a situation which may require a strength that is above tact or diplomacy, he knew that all those yesterdays must give their store of gathered strength and knowledge. As there was no running water to watch, Coryndon watched the shadows and the light playing hide-and-go-seek through the leaves, through his half-closed eyes.
Thoughts and memories of the past, he had stowed so resignedly away, flooded his mind as he strode onward, he had dreamed until last night that the ghost of his by-gone days would haunt him no more, and when he had learned to live without his memories on the associations of the frequent past, he was brought forward again to meet, face to face, a forcible reminder of his yesterdays.
