Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Echoes From Girlhood, and Other Poems The Poems herewith presented are a few culled from a collection, many of which were written in early girlhood. When a child I was encouraged by fond parents; my father called me his noble daughter, a title I have endeavored to deserve through life. My mother took a special interest in my writings, even now I think I see her eyes light up with admiration when I would enter her presence, blushing, to read some new thought, never to be chided, but always encouraged by word, look or smile. It may interest my readers to know that my first poem was written at the early age of eleven years. When I married a cruel fate was in store for me, that of losing God´s best gift to mortals, my health. I had thought of disappointment, I had thought of lack of wealth, but never had it occurred to me that I might be deprived of my health. With my nimble fingers, active brain, and abundance of will-power, I never thought any task too difficult to undertake, and when once begun it must be accomplished. What others had done, why not I? was always the motto of my life; but without health, alas, one´s ambition is indeed torture. Kind reader, if you have ever suffered the horrors of surgical operations, which left you worse instead of better, then perhaps you may know a tithe of what failure means to an ambitious mind.
