Excerpt from My Friend's Book
Sweet it is to summon up remembrance of things past. Darkness and Silence lend their aid to the task. Night with its calm stills the fears of the ghosts, who are timid and Shy by nature, and wait for the hours of darkness and solitude ere they come to whisper their secrets in the ears of the living Whom they love.
The casement blinds are drawn close, the door curtains hang in heavy folds upon the floor. One door, and one only, stands ajar, and my eyes turn as though instinctively towards it. Through it there steals an opalescent gleam, and the sound of gentle rhythmic breathing - and not even I can tell which is the mother's, which the children's.

Excerpt from My Friend's Book
Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
In the midway of this our mortal life
This line, wherewith Dante begins the first canto of his Divina Commedia, steals into my thoughts to-night, possibly for the hundredth time. But never until to-night has it really touched my heart.
Yet now how intently I ponder it in my mind; how gravely beautiful it seems; how full of meaning. The reason is that now for the first time I can apply its meaning to myself. I, too, have reached the point where Dante stood when the old sun set upon the first year of the fourteenth century. I, too, am in the middle of life's journey - if, indeed, that journey were the same for all, and if for all old age were its goal.
Ah me! I knew twenty years since that it would come to this. I knew it, yes, but I did not realise it. In those days I recked as little about the way of life as about the way to Chicago.
