When man no longer finds enjoyment in work, and works merely in order to attain as quickly as possible to enjoyment, it is a mere accident that he does not become a criminal. Destiny had lavished all the glories of power and riches with liberal hand on the Romans; but, in truth, the Pandora's box was a gift of doubtful value.
The perfect stillness of the scene pleased him; the world was like the breathless moment before some great event: the opening of Pandora's box, the leaping of armed men from the belly of the wooden horse, the flashing of Excalibur over the mere, the birth of some little child. He sighed as he passed down the street. He had read in his morning paper that the Cove was doomed.
There was silence far over the sea; yet for nearly another hour that silence was at intervals broken by the death-shriek of some exhausted swimmer or some victim of the ravening shark. The breeze still continued to blow, the raft moved on, and long before morning the Pandora's crew were carried far away from the scene of the terrible tragedy.
It seemed as if the box were bewitched, and as if the cottage were not big enough to hold it, without Pandora's continually stumbling over it, and making Epimetheus stumble over it likewise, and bruising all four of their shins.
He hesitated for a moment, until he saw that he could not well evade giving me an answer, and then answered with the simple word "Niggers." "It 'ud be no use playin' hide and seek about it, lad. You must 'a found it out in time the Pandora's no merchantman she be a trader a regular slaver." "Oh, Ben," I said, appealingly, "is it not a terrible life to lead?"
And, indeed, there was a kind of cheerful witchery in the tone, that made it almost impossible to refuse anything which this little voice asked. Pandora's heart had insensibly grown lighter, at every word that came from within the box. Epimetheus, too, though still in the corner, had turned half round, and seemed to be in rather better spirits than before.
They knew, moreover, that they had nothing to lose but a few casks of brandy and rum; the iron, salt, and toys which formed the remainder of the Pandora's cargo, being goods that a pirate would not be bothered with.
They walked about, afterwards on the splendid terrace that surrounds the Capitol, the great marble floor on which it stands, and made vague remarks Pandora's were the most definite about the yellow sheen of the Potomac, the hazy hills of Virginia, the far-gleaming pediment of Arlington, the raw confused- looking country.
You smile, and your great spirit may well mock the poor human being who thinks of personal happiness, when for an idea merely thousands are killed upon the field of battle. My life, sire, has been a great combat, in which I have striven with all the demons escaped from Pandora's box. I have grown up amid privations and need.
"He added that the original receipt for it came out of Pandora's box." "Poor Bradley!" cried Thaddeus, throwing his head back in a paroxysm of mirth. "Hated pie declared his feelings and then to be confronted by it at dinner." "He behaved nobly," said Bessie. "Ate his first piece like a man, and then called for a second, like a hero, when you remarked that it was of my make."
