Synopsis
Excerpt from The Green Window
At twenty we see very near us Napoleon, if our ambition is to succeed, or Jesus Christ, if our ambition is to be good. At forty, Napoleon and Jesus Christ are very far off, yet neither has moved. Then we reel and are faint - too soon perhaps? For we may be nearer to them than we think - nay!
