"The chief advantage of livin' to

Clamoring to be set down In words
is this world of changing wonders
with ItM countless human beings, each
fascinatingly different. But the man
who wltes is conscious of the steady
trick!!.ic of the sand in the hour-
glass and so he echoes the cry of
Keats in a sublime sonnet:
"When I have fears that I may
cease to be
Before my pen baa gleaned my
teeming brain;
Before high-piled books In charge-
tery
H«-id. like rich garners, the full-
ripened grain;
When I to-hold, upon the night's
starred face.
Huge, cloudy symbols of a high
romance.
And think that I may never live
to trace
Their shadows with the magic hand
of chance.
And when I fear, fair creature of
an hour
That 1 may never look upon thee
more;
Ne'er have rellahed In the faery
power *
Of unreflecting love—then on the
shore
Of thla wide world, I stand and
think
Till Love and Fame to nothingnes*
do shrink.”
