Book Description
Excerpt from Along the Bowstring, or South Shore of Lake Superior They traveled and they traveled And the next thing they did spy Was the moon behind a hill-top, And that they left behind - look a' thar! Now, the one he said it was the moon But the other he said 'nay, ' So they 'lowed it was a green cheese With the rind all cut away - look a' thar! - College Song. One of the most original of my acquaintances said to me once that he had spent an evening with M. Flammarion, the greatest of astronomers, and had taken that occasion to catechise the master about other worlds than ours. "And do you know," said he, "that after hearing about all the other planets I have come to the conviction that this is a good enough world for me? It is true that this world has defects; for instance, a man cannot have his picture put on the postage stamps until after he is dead - but, take it all in all, I shall be satisfied if I get my share of all the fun and beauty, and sight-seeing and good eating and pleasant company this rolling pill affords without caring a snap to live in Saturn and get a couple of celestial belts thrown in, like chromos." But one of the best features of life on this planet is the fact that no man or set of men can make it different. In spite of them, it keeps rolling around and exposing to solar view characteristics and portions in which they take no interest. A powerful body of persons, for instance, is satisfied to go to Newport every year at vast expense, to move in a tiny set whose lives are devoted to proving that the Declaration of Independence is all wrong, and that only a few are created equal while all the rest are vulgar. A still more influential body of persons think the sum of human happiness is reached if they can go to Brighton, England, to ride or walk up and down a stone embankment with towering hotels on one side and a cold ocean, unfit for either bathing or boating, on the other.
