Description
That is a very fine and true similitude of what befalls many men and women. They go astray, they give up some precious thing their innocence perhaps to a deluding temptation. They are delivered for a time; and then a little while after they find their shadow, which no tears or anguish of regret can take away, till the healing of life and work and purpose annuls it. Neither is it always annulled, even in length of days.
