Fifteen Chapters of Autobiography by George William Erskine Russell BEGINNINGS One look back-as we hurry o'er the plain, Man's years speeding us along- One look back! From the hollow past again, Youth, come flooding into song! Tell how once, in the breath of summer air, Winds blew fresher than they blow; Times long hid, with their triumph and their care, Yesterday-many years ago! E. E. Bowen. The wayfarer who crosses Lincoln's Inn Fields perceives in the midst of them a kind of wooden temple, and passes by it unmoved. But, if his curiosity tempts him to enter it, he sees, through an aperture in the boarded floor, a slab of stone bearing this inscription: "On this spot was beheadedWilliam Lord Russell, A lover of constitutional liberty,21st July, a.d. 1683."
