Oh! captive, bound, and double-ironed, cried the phantom, not to know, that ages of incessant labour, by immortal creatures, for this earth must pass into eternity before the good of which it is susceptible is all developed. Not to know that any Christian spirit working kindly in its little sphere, whatever it may be, will find its mortal life too short for its vast means of usefulness. Not to know that no space of regret can make amends for one life's opportunity misused! ✨ Charles Dickens (1997). Best Ghost Stories, p.71, Wordsworth Editions
