May Day Dreams Passion Flowers Poetic Flights And Prosy Thoughts PDF Download

Excerpt from May-Day Dreams; Passion Flowers; Poetic Flights and Prosy Thoughts, Vol. 1: Three Books in One Volume Fool, air thyself in this world, For that makes mediocrity endurable. These three little books have nothing classical about them. They are neither ante-memphian, post-albanian nor Attic. They advance no claims whatever to modern art.

Had it not been through the persuasive influence of some admiring friends, these three little books would never have been printed - not in their present very imperfect state, at least. Q That his hand has always possessed greater cunning in the use of the gun and lasso than may be possible for it to ever attain in the art of handling the mighty pen is a self-evident fact, and a truth which the author has never yet had the audacity to make denial of.
