Poor Eva Tenny had been in the asylum some four months, and the reports as to her condition were no more favorable. Ellen's voice, in spite of herself, had a hopeless tone, which the child was quick to detect. "I want my mamma," she repeated. "I want her, Ellen. It has been to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow after that, and the to-morrows are yesterdays, and she hasn't come."
But the sinister influence of to-day saps his will and renders him infirm; each new to-day is wasted amid thoughts of visionary to-morrows which take all the power from his soul; and, when he is nerveless, powerless, tired, discontented with the very sight of the sun, he finds suddenly that his feet are on the edge of the gulf, and he knows that there will be no more to-morrows.
says Poor DICK. Work while it is called to-day; for you know not, how much you may be hindered to-morrow: which makes Poor RICHARD say, One To-day is worth two To-morrows, and farther, Have you somewhat to do to-morrow? do it to-day! If you were a servant, would you not be ashamed that a good master should catch you idle? Are you then your own Master?
Everybody but me wants to know what kind of a to-morrow God Almighty has made for him. I make my own to-morrows! I don't ask to have my destiny made up for me like a t-t-tailor coat. I make my own destiny. If things d-d-don't come my way, I just pull them! People talk about 'following Providence! I follow Providence as an Irishman follows his wheel-barrow. I shove it! See?
Johnny Two-Hawks, fiddling in front of the Metropolitan Opera House, to fill a poor blind man's cup! "Yes, Johnny. Now, yesterdays never were. For us there is nothing but to-morrows. Out there, in the great country where souls as well as bodies may stretch themselves we'll start all over again. You will be the cowman and I'll be the kitchen wench.
The so-called solid things disintegrate, the vogue of one year spells oblivion in the next, but the power of music to stir the pulse, to awaken the emotions and to uplift the spirit, has remained through all the yesterdays, and will do so we may anticipate through all the to-morrows. It is an ally and co-witness with religion for immaterial and spiritual ends.
Legros, I am ready for you; ah, there is then one more chance in life!" "You are not fit to play, Monsieur," said the young man, stepping back; "I will come again to-morrow." "To-morrow!" answered M. Linders, with a sort of laugh, "have you then so many to-morrows that you can talk of them recklessly? Well, then, I will tell you I have not not one; but I have to-night, and that I will not lose.
All thought was slipping away into a great white light that held no to-morrows, nor any fear of them, nor of herself, nor of anything. The light crept to her feet, rose to her heart, her head. Through the radiance came his words. "Yes, a miracle. Oh, my dear my little child! I've come back to kiss you, little child." "Kiss me, then," she said against his lips.
When the flowers faded on the southern slopes, they were not more than half-way up the hill. Each day the sun swung lower across the canals, all the to-morrows were shorter than the yesterdays, and there was not a man among them with a shade of sentiment, or a sense of the beautiful, but sighed when the flowers died.
He had seen many men in that net; some had struggled, some had taken their annihilation stoically; honest merchants, freebooters, and brigands. Most of them had gone out, with their families, into that precarious border-land of existence in which the to-morrows are ever dreaded. Yet here, somehow, was a different case.
