[EAN: 9781330228166], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . This book usually ship within 10-15 business days and we will endeavor to dispatch orders quicker than this where possible. Brand New Book. Excerpt from Old Wine in New Bottles: For Old and New Friends Once in a while comes a superior season wherein the vintage is again a rich one: once in a great while a book is projected into the world, full of grand, new, inspiring thoughts. This book is not one of the few. It will simply find its place, if any, among the countless thousands that take some of the old ideas already in the world, and give them a form somewhat new. With the mass of us, there is nothing new under the sun. A thought comes to us, and we clothe it in words; but it had already been masquerading up and down through the world of literature for ages, - and before literature began it had been in the minds of men that built pyramids. (Somebody has, no doubt, made this identical observation before.) To the expression indeed, we may give some individuality of form; the idea has belonged to the race. In the dialectics of theology and metaphysics we thresh over the same old straw. In literature we fine, and decant, and bottle up the old wine. We pour over the old liquor into new packages, and put on labels of our own. Haply we filter away the lees and dregs which time had precipitated to the bottom.
