Synopsis
Excerpt from Old and New, Vol. 2: July to Dec. 1870
So says Mr. William Morris, who gives to us so much of the epigram fib-day, as he gives us so much pleasant memory of yesterday and so my bright outlooks on to-morrow. He is the first of story-tellers of I time, perhaps, if story-telling pure and simple be in question. He ks not harass us with his moral. He does not annoy us with accounts d' his own headaches; and we are left to guess whether his own pulse in fifty-nine or at one hundred and thirty. He tells his story, that is that he is for; as a guide-board tells you that the way connects Binghamton with Elmira, without telling you whether Binghamton is on a hill or Elmira in a valley, or whether you will find good inns in either. Such is his way of treating what is past. As for what is to me. He never launches into prophecy. But of to - day, of what is, 3 it be sultry, or if it be cold; if these be apple-blossoms on the ground, or if they be snow-flakes, - of that he tells us very truly the nary. And paints for us very truly the picture.
