He read to himself:

“I know a land where the streets are paved

With the things which we meant to achieve;

It is walled with the money we meant to have saved,

And the pleasures for which we grieve—

And kind words unspoken, the promises broken,

And many a coveted boon,

Are stowed away there in that land of somewhere,

The land of “Pretty Soon.”

There are uncut jewels of possible fame
