Maria Edgeworth: When one illusion...

Vendor: NOVELISTS

When one illusion vanishes, another shall appear, and, still leading me forward towards an horizon that retreats as I advance, the happy prospect of futurity shall vanish only with my existence.

-- Maria Edgeworth, (Jan 1 1767-1849), English children's author; Her novels depict Irish life and moral tales for children.
