Example text

58). The man who makes a vow in childhood, Eiseley noted (quoting Chesterton) in All the Strange Hours (1975a, “makes an appointment with himself at some distant time or place” (p. 166). Eiseley’s first vow, he told us, was to read, and his reading, of course, changed him irrevocably. But he made other vows as well, other childhood commitments. ” He recalled—in one of his earliest and most cherished memories—how his father had explained to him that the comet would come again only after his death, in his son’s old age, and that it would be necessary for the young Eiseley to “live to see it” in his stead.

Finally, Shaw remarked that, “of course, the Kaiser is a Junker, though less true-blue than the Crown Prince . . ” (1914/1931, p. 22).
