Reminiscent indulgence.

Retrospection may be defined as
that form of reminiscent indulgence
that enables one to swell up like a
strutting turkey gobbler when he
thinks OF the good deeds he performed
In the year behind him until he passes
to the vast palpitating mass Of mean
ness that he put over during the same
period.-Houston Post.
