Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Illusions and Disillusions, Touching Upon Topics in Every Day Life
The essays in this book have been selected from my writings which have appeared daily in the Oklahoman during the past two years. For the most part, I have chosen the essays which have brought me the widest response from my readers, those that have impelled readers to say to me, I have had the very same thoughts, though I did not put them into so many words.
In a single sentence we have the function of the writer - to put other persons' ideas, thoughts and aspi rations into definite, readable form. Writers have no monopoly on thoughts and ideas - which are the com mon property of mankind. Many of the most vital thoughts in this volume have come to me from others, who gave them out, consciously or unconsciously. Thoughts and ideas come from everywhere. Really, we live in a surging sea of thought.
