THROWING LIGHT.
I am intangible; can't be seen, yet can be felt; am apparent to the
taste--certainly to the touch, for I am pocketed daily, and there is no
one who would not gladly grasp me at any time when offered; at the same
time, I am almost always disagreeable, and very rarely desired. Too much
of me is dangerous, and yet how could any one have too many of me?
though even a sip is more than any one craves. No one was ever heard to
say he was tired of me, and yet how many tears I have made children
shed! I am the means of making people happy, yet I am dangerous under
certain circumstances, though, to be sure, if I make people sick, I also
make them well. Once I made a dreadful disturbance in New York, but yet
I doubt if there is any city in this country where more of me, if as
many, pass from people's hands.
I cost nothing, anybody can have me that wants me, yet no one if poor
can keep me, though I am easily bottled. You can't confine me, though
you can shut me out, for there is nothing to take hold of, but a little
package will hold many hundreds of me. I am a fluid, yet I am only air.
I can be made by a stroke of the pen, but the greatest care must be
exercised in making me properly; but when I am made artificially I am
not half as refreshing as when Nature makes me. You can carry me in your
pocket, but you can not take hold of me. You may swallow me, but you can
not touch me. What am I? Let some one else throw a light.
