of the gallery. The people to which you/they have owed a lot their being this
masters seemed all of them to be true and I live, and it differed
among each other only in the variety of their forms, complexions,
and suits; then they seemed different nations of the same
kind.
Observing an old man that was the same person me in front of it mentioned, as
the only artist that was at work on this side of the gallery,
walking to on all four on and down from a portrait to another, and retouching everybody
the excellent pieces that have witnessed standing me, I was not able but I am a lot
I make an attempt to all of his/her motions. I founded his/her pencil it was so very light
what it imperceptibly worked, and after thousand touches scarce
produced some visible effect in the portrait on which he had a job.
However, as him busied him incessantly, and repeated touches later
touches without rest or intermission, he insensitively brought street each
small unpleasant brightness that has hung on a figure. He also added
such beautiful brown to the shades and the sweetness to the colours,
what he made every portrait appear more perfect than when it came
fresh from the pencil of his/her/their master. I could not abstain looking on
the face of this ancient worker, and immediately from the long lock
of hair on his/her forehead, it discovered him/it to be Time.
If I/you/he/she were because the thread of my dream was to an end self
you/he/she cannot say, but, to the mine I take an examination of this old imaginary man,
my sleep left me.

Thy lengthens the hope with border of prudence,
You proportion volatrice to the time:
While so we speak to happy-go-lucky ease,
Our envious minutes the wing their flight;
Then rapid the fleeting pleasure grabs,
Neither the doubtful light of to-tomorrow of trust.
