Disorder and lawlessness were abroad; and that want of something remedial to be done which, like the thirst in fever, is fostered and fed by partial indulgence.
Not in weakness alone comes the second childhood upon men, but often in childlikeness; for in old age as in nature, to quote the song of the curate, Old Autumn's fingers Paint in hues of Spring. The necessities of the old man prefigure and forerun the dawn of the immortal childhood.

Even so, it is not quick enough, I fear, to forerun the whims of goddesses.
The plains were silent, but from all the hospital tents about the fort came the sharp, agonized cries of pain that forerun the last collapse of the plague-stricken sufferers.
