Excerpt from Little Tapers: A Day-Book of Verses If here and there I have repeated myself, it has been because I wanted to repeat something else. The headings can claim no proverbial sanction, but are pegs of my own turning. Sometimes they are condensations of the verses that they introduce. More frequently they give the thought a new twist. Poor as the thing may be, it is as good as I can make it. May it help a simple heart here and there! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
