Excerpt from The Lament of DivesIs it really five years, Kit, since last we met? I suppose it may be five years; but I have left off counting Time.Why should you count Time, dear Dives? You have only to enjoy all the time there is. Make the most of every moment. When it is finished, live in the next. For the rich, time crawls. It is by those who work that Time must be counted, because in the space he allows to them they must make their money. This is the reason why, to men who work, he flies, he gallops. Lord! How short is the day when it is spent in work! What says the song, my own song?Long is long for those who toil not, Only long - for those who play.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
