ABSTRACT
OF ANXIETY : TRAGEDY AND COMEDY. We observe the ceaseless rush of human life to-day and even while participating in it cannot but wonder at it. Juvenal draws for us pictures of the life in Imperial Rome which in the essential features reproduce that of any modern city or indeed that of ancient Babylon ; the pursuit of wealth, place, pleasure, knowledge goes on every where. The human mind is never satisfied ; there is no nice proportion between what the subject can enjoy and what he aims at obtaining ; attainment only brings a fresh vision.
