Excerpt from Sephora, Vol. 2 of 2: A Hebrew Tale, Descriptive of the Country of Palestine, and of the Manners and Customs of the Ancient Israelites
Are there any, whom we thus address, whose own lives admit of their looking back on such a lengthened period of exrstence? It is not to them we need observe, that it will be a glance over a checkered scene; the unrolling of a web of many colours, whose tints get more sombre the further we unfold it; yet on those sombre tints. The blessing of heaven is often found to rest, as the darkest colours are known to attract and to retain the sun's heat, while the light and gaudy hues, that flaunt and glitter in its rays, re; main cold to the touch, and impervious to, its vital beam.
