Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stray Verses To my Readers, At the commencement of the year 1898, I was, through failing health, compelled to relinquish that active business employment to which I had all my life been accustomed. Being, through defective sight, deprived of the pleasures of reading, writing, or engaging in any kind of social game, I was much puzzled how to fill up the vacuum which retirement had created. I therefore resolved to join the already crowded ranks of the minor Poets, amusing myself from time to time with circulating amongst my friends and acquaintance the effusions of my pen. In this I had a two-fold object, first, to show my friends that I had not forgotten them, and secondly, to remind them that my name was inscribed on the Register of the "un-called for," or in other words, that I was still in the land of the living. In presenting this little volume to my Readers, I trust that they, knowing the great difficulties with which its author has had to contend, will treat it tenderly and be indulgent towards it, or adapting the well-known lines of the Poet: - "Be to its virtues ever kind And to its faults a little blind."
