"Eugene Field, A Study In Heredity And Contradictions"
Slason Thompson
Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
"Hospital Sketches"
Robert Swain Peabody
