Excerpt from The Light Which Cannot Fail: True Stories of Heroic Blind Men and Women and a Handbook for the Blind and Their Friends I believe that those who read and laugh and cry over these heroes and tragic comedians, poets, and seers Whom I have sketched as truthfully as I could, Will become interested in their struggle and enlist among their friends and helpers.
