The Washington herald., 1914-01-18

Don't butt at the storm with your puny form
But bend and let it 90 o'G YOU
rhs world will nerer adjust itself
To suit your whims To the letter;
some things must 20 wrung your whole life long
And the sooner you know it the better.
II is folly to fight with the INFINITE.
And under at last in the wrrstle:
The wiser shapes into Gods plan,
As the water shapes into vessel
