Description
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Norman Van Pelt Levis
There are very few people who do not, at some time or other, during their lives, write a few rhymes, or, perhaps, a few lines of poetry, just as almost every one whistles a tune, without being styled a musician. There are those, also, who rise so high on account of industry and genius as to be numbered among the great masters of the arts, and while the men of this class are few, there are those who do not claim any other honor than to humbly follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before, and pointed the way to success in the vast world of literature.
The Author of this volume can but claim to be placed in this latter list, with the earnest hope of being well received.
Plato once made this astonishing statement: "Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand."
