" --Ovid, Trist. , iii. 10, 67. ] ["We might have lived happier in the remote East or in the icy North, or among the wandering tribes. "--Lucan, i. 255. ] I sometimes extract the means to fortify myself against theseconsiderations from indifference and indolence, which, in some sort, bring us on to resolution. It often befalls me to imagine and expectmortal dangers with a kind of delight: I stupidly plunge myself headlonginto death, without considering or taking a view of it, as into a deepand ...obscure abyss which swallows me up at one leap, and involves me in aninstant in a profound sleep, without any sense of pain. And in theseshort and violent deaths, the consequence that I foresee administers moreconsolation to me than the effect does fear. They say, that as life isnot better for being long, so death is better for being not long. I donot so much evade being dead, as I enter into confidence with dying. Iwrap and shroud myself into the storm that is to blind and carry me awaywith the fury of a sudden and insensible attack.
