Excerpt from An One-Sided Autobiography: Containing the Story of My Intellectual Life
Of certain individuals, who by means Of the written word have Opened to the world at large the windows Of their soul. From the dawn Of civilization to the present time men have looked out upon this world Of ours, have seen its sadness and its glory, have brooded over its mysteries, have been gay, serious, melancholy, have lived and loved and been gathered to their fathers, leaving no more trace behind them than the foam upon the crest Of the ocean wave, or the snows Of yesteryear. From time to time, however, arise certain men, who see the same spectacles, feel the same passions, brood over the same problems, yet, who, having the gift Of expressing their thoughts in words, bequeath their inner life to posterity in epic, dramatic, or lyrical poetry, or in the various forms of prose.
