pleasant land of fairy-tales, I met a doughty knight and true.
Many dangers had he overcome, in many lands had been; and all men knewhim for a brave and well-tried knight, and one that knew not fear;except, maybe, upon such seasons when even a brave man might feelafraid Canada Goose Menn Skreslet Parka and yet not be ashamed. Now, as this knight one day waspricking wearily along a toilsome road, his heart misgave him and wassore within him because of the trouble of the way. Rocks, dark and ofa monstrous size, hung high above his head, and like enough it seemedunto the knight that they should fall and he lie low beneath them.
Chasms there were on either side, and darksome caves wherein fiercerobbers lived, and dragons, very terrible, whose jaws dripped blood.
And upon the road there hung a darkness as of night. So it came overthat good knight that he would no more press forward, but seek anotherroad, less grievously beset Moncler Safran Jakke with difficulty unto his gentle steed.
But when in haste he turned and looked behind, much marveled our braveknight, for lo! of all the way that he had ridden there was naught foreye to see; but at his horse's heels there yawned a mighty gulf,whereof no man might ever spy the bottom, so deep was that same gulf.
Then when Sir Ghelent saw that of going back there was none, he prayedto good Saint Cuthbert, and setting spurs into Kanadanhanhi Heatherton Parka Suomi his steed rode forwardbravely and most joyously. And naught harmed him.
There is no returning on the road of life. The frail bridge of timeon which we tread sinks back into eternity at every Cruz Azul Drakt step we take. Thepast is gone from us forever.

Therefore it beseems us as true knights to prick onbravely, not idly weep because we cannot now recall.
A new life begins for us with every second. Let us go forwardjoyously to meet it. We must press on whether we will or no, and weshall walk better with our eyes before us than with Celtic Drakt them ever castbehind.
A friend came to me the other day and urged me very eloquently tolearn some wonderful system by which you never forgot anything. Idon't know why he was so eager on the subject, unless it be that Ioccasionally borrow an umbrella and have a knack of coming out, in themiddle of a game of whist, with a mild "Lor! I've been thinking allalong that clubs were trumps." I declined the suggestion, however, inspite of the advantages he so attractively set forth. I have no wishto remember everything. There are many things in most men's livesthat had better be forgotten. There is that time, many years ago,when we did not act quite as honorably, quite as uprightly, as Kanadanhanhi Tremblant Takit Suomi weperhaps should have done--that unfortunate deviation from the path ofstrict probity we once committed, and in which, more unfortunatestill, we were found out--that act of folly, of meanness, of wrong.
Ah, well! we paid the penalty, suffered the maddening hours of vainremorse, the hot agony of shame, the scorn, perhaps, of those weloved. Let us forget. Oh, Father Time, lift with your |
