Book Description

Excerpt from Free, and Other Stories And yet being conventional in mood and training and utterly domesticated by time and conditions Over which he seemed not to have much control - nature, custom, public Opinion, and the like, coming into play as forces - he had drifted, had not taken any drastic action. No, he had merely drifted, wondering if time, accident or something might not interfere and straighten out his life for him, but it never had. Now weary, Old, or rapidly becoming so, he condemned him self for his inaction. Why hadn't he done something about it years before? Why hadn't he broken it up before it was too late, and saved his own soul, his longing for life, color? But no, he had not. Why complain so bitterly now?
