Dream Life: A Fable of the Seasons (Classic Reprint)

If I have attained to any facility in the use of language, or have gained any fitness of expression, in which to dress my thoughts, I know not to what writer of the English language, I am more indebted, than to you. And if I have shown as I have tried to show a truthfulness of feeling, that is not lighted by any counterfeit of passion, but rather, by a close watchfulness of nature, and a cordial sympathy with human suffering I know not to what mans heart, that truthful ness will come home sooner, than to your s. Believe me, Dear Sir, it is from no wish to associate my name with the names of the great, that I ask your acceptance of this little token of respect. My aims are humbler than this: I would simply pay homage to the A uthor, who has wrought our language into the most exquisite forms of beauty ;and to the man, who has touched our hearts, with the tenderness of a friend.
