Excerpt from Bird of the Bush: A Collection of Poems
Let no man suppose that I am prompted to write this sketch of my life by a fear that it will never be written unless by myself. My fear, so far as fear enters into the matter, is quite the reverse; my purpose being to forestall any other man. While many men can with ease appear to be what'they are not, I always found it hard to_ appear what I was; and I have been mis judged and misunderstood all my life, even'by my own friends; and my heart has Often been mangled and lacerated by those who would have spared me, had they known me capable of feeling anything less pointed and penetrating than a bayonet or the spear of Hector.
