Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1806-12448.xml WHAT a series of calamities is the thread of human existence! I have heard of men who, though free themselves from any uncommon dis- tress, were driven to suicide by re- flecting on the misery of others. They employed their imagination in running over the catalogue of human woes, and were so affected by the spectacle, that they willingly resort- ed to death to shut it from their view. No doubt their minds were consti- tuted after a singular manner, for we are generally prone, when ob- jects chance to present to us their gloomy side, to change their position, till we hit upon the brightest of its aspects. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1806-12448.xml Mon, 01 Dec 1806 12:00:00 GMT
