A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Just Glad Things

It would not do to say to you
That in this book of mine
Is reading matter strictly now,
Nor is that my design.
Far better have these songs been sung
Than ever I could trill them;
The ancients, when the world was young,
(See Homer) used to kill them.

There's nothing new upon this earth,
In thought or song or story;
The good old-timers had their mirth,
And dealt in allegory.
Each new song is but ancient dope,
And none but fools deny it;
This little book - still I hope
In spite of that you'll buy it.
