An Age of Hurry by Bridges Smith in Macon Telegraph
In this essay the author laments the speed of modern life and its erosion of patience. He cites rapid marriages and business, swift travels, quick deaths, and the rise of speed as a driving force in society, contrasting it with a preferred old-fashioned pace. He invokes Alex Stephens and Lorena as cultural touchstones while urging a return to slower, deliberate living.
