The Superannuated* Man (Excerpt)
Charles Lamb
For the first day or two I felt stunned, overwhelmed. I could only
apprehend my felicity; I was tooconfused to taste it sincerely. I wandered about,
thinking I was happy, and knowing that I was not. I was in the condition of a
prisoner in the Old Bastile, suddenly let loose after a forty years’ confinement. I
could scarce trust myself with myself. It was like passing out of Time into
Eternity – for it is a sort of Eternity for a man to have his Time all to himself. It
seemed to me that I had more time on my hands than I could ever manage.
From a poor man, poor in Time, I was suddenly lifted up into a vast revenue; I
could see no end of my possessions; I wanted some steward, or judicious bailiff,
to manage my estates in Time for me. And here let me caution persons grown
old in active business, not lightly, nor without weighing their own resources, to
forego their customary employment all at once, for there may be danger in it. I
feel it by myself, but I know that my resources are sufficient; and now that
those first giddy raptures have subsided, I have a quiet home-feeling of the
blessedness of my condition. I am in no hurry. Having all holidays, I am as
though I had none. If Time hung heavy upon me, I could walk it away; but I do
not walk all day long, as I used to do in those old transient holidays, thirty
miles a day, to make the most of them. If Time were troublesome, I could read
it away, but I do not read in that violent measure, with which, having no Time
my own but candlelight Time, I used to weary out my head and eye-sight in
by-gone winters. I walk, read, or scribble (as now) just when the fit seizes me. I
no longer hunt after pleasure; I let it come to me.
Note:
* superannuate: send (an employee) into retirement with a pension.
