Chatterton: A Biography (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Chatterton: A Biography

Typed phrase, but an explicit assertion by each gene ration for itself that the great sense of life, transmitted already through so many generations, is now, in turn, passing through it? The time when we ourselves are alive, the time when our eyes behold the light, and when the breath is strong in our nostrils, that is the crisis for us and, although it belongs to a higher than we to determine the worth of what we do, yet that we should do everything with a certain amount of vehemence and bustle seems but the necessary noise of the shuttle as we weave forth our allotted portion of the general web of existence.
