Excerpt from Hitherto: A Story of Yesterdays "To-day" is a strange word. The point a life has got to, beyond which it must pierce the dark, behind which lies its own trail of light, born of its own movement, and showing -always behind - what it has truly meant and been. The point the world has got to, where the blaze and the mist, the dazzle and confusion, are about it, that come of its greater rush, like the burst of a meteor heading across...
