Book Description
Excerpt from The Little Tin Gods-on-Wheels: Or, Society in Our Modern Athens; A Trilogy After the Manner of the Greek The Little Tin Gods-on Wheels. We should not wish to be worldly and beautiful, Foolish and frivolous. No, not for anything. Enter Mr. Carnation with his of era hat, embossed with a gorgeous monogram, under his arm. He scans the various groups with a troubled air, and then soliloquizes as follows: - Carnation. O, what a selfish place is this gay world! Alas! it wounds me to the quick to see That ghastly row of unattended maids Glued, meek as heifers, to the garnished wall. Shy, shrinking flowers, who but need the sun Of some man's smile to bloom in peerless beauty; And others plain as pikestaffs, but with minds Cultured and stored with lore of Greece and Rome, (Ah, what is beauty but a trap and snare, Unless there is a mind to back it up!) Around the door a throng of callous brutes, Who claim the name of men, stand unconcerned And see these frail exotics droop and wilt Without a pang, and then go idly home. Not such am I. This noble spirit stirs Me up to action. I will show these curs That Chivalry lives still and cannot die. What ho I there! Crocus, will you kindly give me An introduction to that girl in pink? Crocus. Great Caesar's ghost! My dear buy, do you know That that rare maid in pink is she whom men About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
