The concept of a book intended essentially for display over perusal was mentioned much earlier by Michel de Montaigne in his essay Upon Some Verses of Virgil, first published in 1580: " I am vexed that my Essays only serve the ladies for a common movable, a book to lay in the parlor window ..." Almost two centuries later, Laurence Sterne in his 1759 comic novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman advanced the more lighthearted view that " As my life and opinions are likely to make some noise in the world, and ... be no less read than the Pilgrim's Progress itself-and, in the end, prove the very thing Montaigne dreaded his Essays should turn out, that is, a book for a parlour window ..."

that is, on the basis of his own sinfulness and abject wretchedness, Piepsam becomes a prophet who in his ecstasy and in the name of God imprecates doom on Life -- not only the cyclist now, but the audience, the world, as well: `` all you light-headed breed ''.

Life is further characterized, in antithesis to Piepsam, as animal: the image of a dog, which appears at several places, is first given as the criterion of amiable, irrelevant interest aroused by life considered simply as a spectacle: a dog in a wagon is `` admirable '', `` a pleasure to contemplate '' ; ;

The cyclist, by contrast, blond and blue-eyed, is simply unreflective, unproblematic Life, `` blithe and carefree ''.

But he is more interesting than the others, the ones who come from the highroad to watch him, more interesting than Life considered as a cyclist.

But slowly they take over as Alain Delon ( Life, Sept. 15 ), playing a sometimes appealing but always criminal boy, casually tells a rich and foot-loose American that he is going to murder him, then does it even while the American is trying to puzzle out how Delon expects to profit from the act.

Similarly, Helen Keller stated that " Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Later on, when he became king in 1509, Henry VIII is supposed to have commissioned an English translation of a Life of Henry V so that he could emulate him, on the grounds that he thought that launching a campaign against France would help him to impose himself on the European stage.
