Judgment Day
Judgment Day 743 How would people react it they knew that this day was the last? Parents entreated that the earth’s span of endurance might be prolonged by some seventy years, so that their newborn infant should not be defrauded of his lifetime; a youthful poet murmured because there would be no posterity to recognize the inspiration of his song; the reformers, one and all, demanded a few thousand years to test their theories, after which the universe might go to wreck; a mechanician, who was busied with an improvement of the steam engine, asked merely time to perfect his model; a little boy made dolorous inquiry whether the last day would come before Christmas, and thus deprive him of his anticipated dainties. Hawthorne: “The Hall of Fantasy.”
