First Love (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from First Love E had probably never vibrated to any great extent heretofore; nor could have recorded a stronger emotion than that which thrilled him when he pulled a frog out of a pool, or succeeded in climbing the highest tree round. Certain it is that on the fifteenth of May, 18 his heart throbbed right enough, and he felt so deeply that the memory of his emotion left a vivid mark down through his whole life - down through his whole life. These feelings returned many times when boy-hands were too small to hold such vastness; but they were cruel, too, and came back later, when he had learned what that memory was.
