Book Description
Excerpt from Carlyle Till Marriage, 1795-1826 For whatsoe'er we perpetrate We do but row, - we're steered by Fate. My trade was official work in Burma, where Europeans die sooner than at home, and I could not begin to write a Life till after retirement. In the house of Prof. C. E. Norton, near Boston, in 1895, when he urged me to write at once, I had to answer: If I live to 1920 or so, a Life of Carlyle by me is sure to be written. If not, then Providence, whom it concerns, must find some other to do it. What is done in 1920 cannot possibly concern me nothing will interest me then, he answered gravely.
