Excerpt from Daybreak Everywhere The sunrise is natures most marvelous apocalypse. "When morning gilds the skies" the awakening heart breaks forth into rapturous praise. Nothing seems more interminable than a long night of fearful forebodings, but with the morning the shadows flee away and renewed hope comes with the break of day. The night is the promise of the day, and the morning light will ever follow the midnight gloom until that ecstatic eternal morning whose radiant sun shall know no setting. There have been many glorious mornings in the hurrying years, but none more significant, because of its glad consummation and its happy prophecies, than this auspicious daybreak which "dapples the drowsy east with spots of gray." "The day begins to break, and night is fled Whose pitchy mantle over-veiled the earth." We who are alive to-day have the high privilege of participating in the most thrilling epoch of all history. Never again with pessimistic tones should we talk about the world's problems and impossibilities, for problems are only opportunities, and impossibilities are only calls to immediate achievement. How can sensible people talk any longer about the world getting worse? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
