Ocupation: Novelist
Life: September 29, 1810 - November 12, 1865
Birthday: September 29
Death: November 12
We do not look for reason for logic in the passionate entreaties of those who are sick unto death; we are stung with the recollection of a thousand slighted opportunities of fulfilling the wishes of those who will soon pass away from among us: and do they ask us for the future happiness of our lives, we lay it at their feet, and will it away from us.
