The Reflections Of A Lonely Man Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Reflections of a Lonely Man When a man has just been well fed, and sits in the easy comfort of his smoking-jacket and slippers, he likes to toy a while with thought before he settles down to the serious business of thinking, as the wind of a late November afternoon eddies in the fence-corners and amorously dallies with the leaves, before it forms itself into a steady gale, which, let us hope, will not blow all the leaves away. So the Lonely Man sits gazing into his gas fire, while his fancy playfully eddies in the various nooks and fence-corners of creation; and, from gazing into the fire, he presently falls to musing about it.
