Paperback
(Forgotten Books June 11, 2012)
Will Fate, we sometimes ask, turn kind, And let a promised tribute find Its laggard way to these same feet, The same too-kindly eyes to greet? If so then well, if not still take This story, less for its own sake Than for its giver's words to you Gilding much dross; remembering, too, That books, like lives, are often things Scaped from the husk on nerveless wings. Not launched on vigours breezy dance, Gay lords of Fate and Circumstance, But play things of the sun and wind, Of hazards rough, and hazards kind, And grown with little conscious plan Less as they would than as they can. Novemler, 1887. E. L. About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
