Excerpt from The Wonders of LifeLife should be to us nothing less than a joy. Not a feverish, frothy imitation, but the real, sparkling, soul-stirring joy, that sinks down to the depths of our being and carries us beyond the narrow limitations of our outward lives, into the immensity and grandeur of that uni versal life, with which our own is in close and inseparable contact.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
