《4级真题诵典》内容简介：In the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations, nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them, We have as yet found no obstacle,no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. We look round in a new world, full of life,and motion, and ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it,and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things,decline into old age. and drop into the grave. It is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth, that identifies us with nature, and deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. Our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting uniona honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar. nor separation. As infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects press around us. filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
