When the Lord finished the world, he pronounced it good. That is what
I said about my first work, too. But Time, I tell you, Time takes the
confidence out of these incautious opinions. It is more than likely that
He thinks about the world, now, pretty much as I think about the Innocents
Abroad. The fact is, there is a trifle too much water in both. |
