things appeal to you. But suppose
you don't sing. Wouldn' you like
to know about the history Of sing

thing we can desire, and I'M

of desire comes safety; with sudden
wealth comes, as rule, an unbal-

an empty softness and then find our
selves fearfully disconnected, without
even the expression Of achievement.
Therefore prepare to withstand
prosperity. You naturally want
prosperity. The starving genius in
the garnet is not half as attractive
as it sounds; but it is infinitely more
attractive than feeling of being d
vacuum in the midst of velvet.
The only thing that does with
