Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Terse Verse Dear long since to the hearts of hundreds of thousands of readers of the daily papers are the rhymes, printed in form of prose, of Walt Mason. They are writ in the vividly living speech of people of today, disdaining nothing of clean slang or ephemeral neologisms of colloquialism. Their meter is perfect always and the turns of phrase burgeon with blooms of felicitous surprise. They are in themselves a definition of humor - they express a thorough understanding of life in its daily round and they formulate a criticism of it in a spirit of broad tolerance. They put the pleasant view of the small trials of existence. If they condemn anything, it is with a certain undercurrent of sympathy for human foible and frailty. Optimistic they are pronouncedly, but not fatuously so. They are almost always character portraits of individuals or types. They have a philosophy of common sense in which idealism and practicality are curiously blent. Above all, each verse is a character-photograph of Walt Mason himself - a smiling philosopher with a gift of song.
