PROGRESS?
ODAY each nation strives to
Toutdo the other in the speed of its
jette-engines. Yet no matter how fast a man travels he may none the less lacke a decent lodging at his journey's end and have to make shift with a wretched dogge-hole.
I cannot wonder that men ask what
all our knowledge avails us; for
I did read how in
Timbuktu they do live as men in the youth of the world, yet in great content, and even the slaves merry. But we do cry up materiall things and forget
what is of true worth.
Today men will even pay a great price for the nuts that are got from Brazill; and others do buy their shirts without looking for the "Sanforized " label, though this would cost little more and would save them the vexation and expence of shrinkage.
One of a series. With apologies to Samuel Pepys.
