In fact I went through quite a dramatic life change in many areas true to pattern, a classic mid-life crisis. All I kept from these years was my two daughters, my life experiences, and far too many books from the enormous Great Oaks library. These changes were however, necessary for my survival.
Richard had been six years dead, but she had never mourned him as those mourn who part hands in mid-life, when the way is still long before the lonely heart. In a short time they would meet again, for "As the pale waste widens around us, And the banks fade dimmer away, As the stars come out, the night wind Brings up the stream Murmurs and scents of the infinite sea."
You who in mid-life think you have arrived somewhere in profession, in trade, in world-standing know that death has already touched you, that the look of your face is dissolute.

At this point we see entering into Ericsson's life an idea which never left him, which controlled much of his work in mid-life, and which attracted no small part of his attention throughout his closing years. This idea was the discovery of some form of heat-engine which should be more economical than the steam-engine, especially as it was in his day.
It is not so when I talk among men or work on the minds of savages. Let us now begin reasonably. I do believe you like me, Antonia." "A most reasonable beginning," noted Antonia, biting her lips. "Now I am a man in the stress and fury of mid-life, hard to turn from my purpose, and you well know my purpose. Your denials and puttings-off and flights have pleased me.
