AUTHOR OF
'THE GREAT AMULET,' 'CANDLES IN THE WIND,' ETC.
"One who never turned his back, but marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break;
Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph;
Held, we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better,
Sleep—to wake."
—Robert Browning.
