As traditional sentiment, as a wholesome subject for school-composition, we have spoken and written of the weariness of the world-worn heart, and the frailty of earthly things.
I do not know what is in the cups, whether it be a draught of Lethe or some baptismal water of new birth, or both; but always the thirsting, world-worn soul appears to change, and then as it were to be lost in the Presence that gave the cup. At least they are lost to my sight. I see them no more. Why do I watch those Gates, in truth or in dream, before my time? Oh! You can guess.
He felt, in his innocent youth, so old, so wicked, so world-worn for this radiant angel who had given, herself to him. It was too good to be true, and he trembled at the thought.
