Poetry


They tell me you're quite a lover OF
poetry, GushorP"
'Yes, love poetry as the eagle does
the sunlight"
What is your definition OF poetryP"
Poetry, my dear fellow, IS The sub
lime in nature; the beautiful in
thought"
j see-the spring bonnet Of common
speech and all that sort Of thing"
Every man who loves thc beautiful
has something Of the poet n him and
feels at times a strange yearning to-"
'Plow the air and lift himself by the
boot-straps Yes; ] often got that way
myself Go on.
Poetry is the perfume OF life; the
fragrance Of love; the blossom OF all
good
And the distraction Of every news
paper man
"lt fills the soul with windows, wings
the fcot, makes mountains speak and
clouds commune together -"
But II cam { pay the rent or put but
tons ON a shirt
Perhaps not but 10 can fll cabin
with the music Of Heaven q"
But 10 can't put n pie in n poor
mans pantry
There's no uso in wasting cloquence
ON you, old man You have no poetry
about YOU
May be not bat I've got a little
money drawing interest. Tom, and the
children arc fat and hearty, thank you. ="
