| Publisher Description: A PREFATORY SONNET ROLAND AT THE FOOT OF THE SCAFFOLD GIVE me a pen, I shall not hold you long, But I have some few words that I mould say Before I mount, before I pass away, Following my friends all gone it is not wrong That I would write, nor any foolish song, But now I stand beside the shoreless sea, A word or two from out my heart may flee Not said before, that coining Death makes strong. How many have felt thus besides the brave, Fair Queen of womankind, the good Roland Lifes long years past, both joyous years and grave, The wish descends upon the untired hand To leave some self-drawn picture with some stave of speech for those left waiting on the strand.

R. ., 293 PROLOGUE AT varios periods of lift I have triecl to make a vritten record of my own experiences, especially those of childhood, with occasional notes on the doings of others with whom I have come in contact the scenery of my own journey, in short-waifs and strays, the finger-posts and milestones of the time past. I have even tried to make a connected history of the esterilals of my own career, interesting to myself, and without the idea of its interesting any one else. But the difficulty in separating the really important from the mercly apparently important has always precipitately brought my efforts to an end. |
