Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Beauchampe or the Kentucky Tragedy, a Sequel to Charlemont
Time does not move with the less rapidity because progress is so insensible. His wings may be compared to those of the owl and other birds who ?y by night. Their feathers are fined off to such exquisitely-delicate points. That they steal silently through the air, as swiftly as stealth ily, and strike their Object without alarming it. So With that subtle thief whom men personify as Time. He moves like the pestilence, without heat of drum, without pomp of banners, with no pageantry of state or terror which might warn the victim to prepare his defences. Lle fans us to sleep as the fabled vampire, with dark wine slowly wavmg over our slumbers, While his sharp tooth s penetrating the vital places in our bosoms.
