Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Little Book of Missouri Verse: Choice Selections From Missouri Verse-Writers It has been my desire for a decade that the people of Missouri become more homogeneous. I am of the opinion that we do not as a people rely enough on ourselves. Clannishness is not needed or desired; but we do need to believe that among Missonrians there are to be found those who, with proper encouragement at home, may become authors equal to any in America. We shall have more self-respect, a higher regard for our State, more love for the inhabitants of our commonwealth, and a livelier interest in each other, and hence a stronger, because a more confident, citizenship, if we will take a greater interest in Missouri authors, buy and read more of their books, and otherwise encourage them to believe that we are their friends. The people of Missouri have a common destiny. They should so unite as to make this commonwealth the brightest and best in the constellation of States. This cannot be done if they have a higher regard for the statesmen, authors, orators, and musicians of other States than for those of our own. We have not prized our writers highly enough. We have fallen into the habit of going to other States and other countries for our books. The merit of an author in the estimation of Missourians, it has often seemed to me, has increased about as the square of the distance of his residence from Missouri.
