Excerpt from Hash: Chopped, Seasoned and Warmed Up
Dear Reader:
This "hash" is offered to you strictly on its merits; and sold like Castoria, under a guarantee of "satisfaction or money refunded."
The dates appended indicate that some of the "scraps" have a peculiar value as "prehistoric remains," since they date back fifty years or more.
Later, as the scramble for bread and butter was less wearing upon the flesh, the spirit moved more frequently and was never grieved away by mercenary attempts to make merchandise of the fruits of the spirit.
These fragments were written, always upon sudden impulse, usually at one sitting, and have been the writer's diversion. They are now published to please a few partial friends, and, as another kind of diversion. Possibly some of them may touch responsive chords, in hearts of heathen men and women who read them. Who knows?
They cannot be called poetry. - (Poets "do not understand themselves," they are so ecstatic!) Poets, present the most extravagant propositions as great truths! Stern contact with this world has taught the writer that "All gates" do not "unlock to those who persevere," either in literature, business, war, love or burglary! He prefers truth, to optimism. Therefore these scraps are merely rhymes and blank verse, not poetry. Read them, if you dare!
