Excerpt from The Flurried Years
Life is a succession of affairs, but there is always one affair for which the years, from birth, are a preparation, a hardening, a tempering, and a more or less serious erosion, possibly, of the sword of the fighter. And there comes, sooner or later, according to the sets and the entries and exits of the other actors, one"s own supreme moment. One is on. And that entry, being but human, one may so easily muff. That moment, some will say, I did muff.
