I have a vague ambition to imitate Lycurgus In one respect When he was old and useless, he left a kind and intelligent word to his acquaintances, and went on a Journey.. He was never seen again. I have a vague ambttlon to spend my last and worst day In a distant place. An occasional friendly letter to my children, and then the long Silence. If my final attendants are honestly able to write to my children 1 was reasonably" patient, and consider that an achievement: old men -not themselves have always been distressing to me. I have long observed that everything is contradicted. As wise a man as' I know wll! make a statement to me and another equally wise declares there is nothing In it. and my in formant a fool.
