Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Helen Cameron, Vol. 2 of 3: From Grub to Butterfly
Farewell, a long farewell to all my greatness! This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms And bears his blushing honours thick upon him The third day comes a frost, a killing frost; And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a ripening, nips his root, And then he falls as I do.
