The World Pictured by Fancy
2 Timothy 4:9-11
Do your diligence to come shortly to me:…


In the mirage of the desert, objects are said to become strangely distorted — a mud-bank exhibiting the appearance of a magnificent city with domes and towers, a few stunted bushes are transformed into a forest of stately trees. Is not the world with its hollow, fading distinctions thus transformed in our idle, foolish fancy? We attach an importance to its treasures, praise, ambitions, pleasures, utterly false and exaggerated.

(W. L. Watkinson.)
