Daily Dose

From Thomas Carlyle: A History of His Life in London, 1834 - 1881, by Jame Anthony Froude

YE VOICES

"Ye voices of the past!  Oh, ye cut my heart asunder with your mournful music out of discord: your prophetic prose grown poetry. Ay de mi!  But what can I do with you?  This day I actually ought to try if I could get to work.  Let us try."

From Chapter VIII, Carlyle's Journal, October 3, 1841
