| To a man all things are possible but one--he
cannot have a hole in the seat of his breeches and keep his fingers out
of it. A man does seem to feel more distress and more persistent and distracting
solicitude about such a thing than he could about a sick child that was
threatening to grow worse every time he took his attention away from it. - Letter to William D. Howells, 27 June 1878 |
