How to Add Ten Years, to Your Life, and to Double Its Satisfactions

by Samuel Silas Curry

Excerpt from How to Add Ten Years, to Your Life, and to Double Its Satisfactions
Qui Transtulit Sustinet
As ancient exile at the close of day,
Paused on his country's farthest hills to view
Those valleys sinking in the distant blue
Where all the joys and hopes of childhood lay;
So now across the years our thoughts will stray
To those whose hearts were ever brave and true,
Who gave the hope and faith from which we drew
The strength to climb thus far upon our way.
As he amid the rocks and twilight gray,
Saw rocks and steeps transform to stairs, and knew
He wandered not alone; so may we too
See this, our tentless crag where wild winds play
A Bethel rise, and we here wake to know
That down and upward angels come and go.

[Kirstin Morrell · Rating 2 out of 5]

A mildly interesting relic of the past. Modern readers require at lest a small amount of evidence for claims, especially large ones. Anecdotes from unreliable sources that don't even loosely support the author's claims don't count. Book lacks the rigor of a logical grasp of cause and effect. And, of course, we understand so much more about physiology today than we did 100 years ago.
