Excerpt from Young West: A Sequel to Edward Bellamy's Celebrated Novel Looking Backward A nickname, once bestowed upon a man, clings to him forever. I am known as "Young West" all over the land, notwithstanding the fact that I am seventy years of age. My teachers and schoolmates used to call me "Young West." That was all very well at that period of life. If a person is to be distinctively qualified by the adjective "Young," childhood and youth are proper seasons for its application; but when people continued to call me Young West" long after I reached manhood, it became aggravating. Is it not absurd that those who know me or of me still persist in calling me "Young West" even now that my hair has turned snow-white? I sometimes wonder if to crown the absurdity with an anti-climax, the words: "This is all that remained of Young West, who died in the year - at the age of seventy, eighty, ninety" (as the case may be), will be inscribed upon the urn containing my ashes.
