OF OBSOLETE

Courtesy costs nothing. Obsolete thing may expect due recognition at least for its past services. They say recognition is such a thing that reaches always late. Sometimes it reaches after death. Again sometimes it reaches never even. It reaches if it likes. It reaches not if it likes not. Thus its mood and motive are gloriously so uncertain. It is the endless episode of an infinite series since time immemorial. Such practice has not become obsolete really.
