We have to exercise forethought, and not to possess it is to be a poor creature, below the ant and the bee.
You, my reader, when you see your children racing on the green, train yourself to regard all that as a happy end in itself. Good advice: let us all try to take it. Let all happy things be enjoyed as ends, as well as regarded as means. Yet it is in the make of our nature to be ever onward-looking; and we cannot help it.

"I have seen a fearful sight to-day," he would say, "I have seen a buttercup." And we know, of course, that in his case there was nothing like affectation; it was only that, unhappily for himself, the bent of his mind was so onward-looking, that he saw only a premonition of the snows of December in the roses of June.

Yet it is only because the future will some day be present, that it deserves any thought at all.

And so they represent to us the impression that is made upon a man's mind, if he has the 'eye that hath kept watch o'er man's mortality, that is made by the facts of this earthly life viz. that it is so full of onward-looking, prophetic aspect, so manifestly and tragically, and yet wonderfully and hopefully.
