Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cheshmeh: Occasional and Other Poems, and Essays
I believe it was Lord Bacon, who said three things are requisite to the making of a man, and whether that noble philosopher was right or not, lnr readers are as competent to judge, as I am, but while two of these, were with me, accomplished facts, the third, namely, to write a book, had nev er entered into my plans. Most of my writings, the inspirations or offshoots of idle hours, have been sent out as waifs upon the literary common, and I have neither retained the originals, nor preserved copies, but probably the best, if there is any choice, are spread along these pages.
