Sorry about my "Late Post to our Helpful Host"….Mr. Hull is right about Mr. Dickens. Charles Dickens is a fiction author of our epochs.
Here’s two quotes:
1. “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” And there your own stories are....
2. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us ..”
Timeless quotes came from Dickens, and all worth the read. At St. Thomas College, back in my day, many of us took a 301 Victorian Lit from an instructor who often was not quite yet sober, but the course was one of my finest ever. He made the lectures on Dickens so real it felt like we were there and eschewed our taking a loaf of bread, lest we be hanged. We had Dickens insights all over the place, and I’ll not rob you of them. Suffice it to say, short of hanging, Dickens’ stories are nigh our own and we should learn from it.
