Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Small Potatoes Whatever may be the achievements of the Twentieth Century - and all indications show that they will be wonderful - there will always be those who, by their enterprise and genius along chosen lines, start wide ripples of-fame in all directions upon the sea of life, and also those whose best efforts in the same lines are only rewarded by a slight tremor on the surface, or not at all. When a man discovers, after exhausting every effort, that he can not occupy a high place among his fellowmen; that the hopes and ambitions of his youth are not to be realized ; in short, that the ideal towards which he has striven is beyond his power of attainment, he should not consider this fact to be humiliating. For as there have always been the high and the low, the rich and the poor, among mankind, so there has always been the man who can perform great deeds and the one who is only capable of small things. So, in publishing this little book of commonplace poems, I know that it is not liable to attract the attention of the public in general; but if it finds its way into the homes of some of my friends, whose many kindnesses I have known and appreciated hitherto, where it may serve as a remembrance of me in years to come, I shall be perfectly satisfied.
