Book Description
Excerpt from Youth, Youth Two of your objections to these stories I can probably anticipate. You will say, firstly, that I have painted a freak gallery of masters. To this I beg to make a reply that you must smilingly admit to hold a truth - some who dashingly elect to follow the high steep path of educating Youth, especially in Science, are in truth little less than freaks and these alone provide the basis, in fact or fiction, for any schoolboy rag. Nothing, however, universal follows. I should be the last to take a definite side in the time-long, almost friendly, battle between Youth and Age. Every boy of seventeen, however much he may seem to suffer schoolmasters gladly, nurtures a hidden but self convincing scorn for all his seniors as Victorian or even worse. In his mind's eye they figure as narrow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

She lay with out moving, every muscle relaxed, conscious only of the intimate nearness of the earth, its stir and whisper, the crooning of the pines overhead, the soft freshness of the sea air on her forehead.

Book Description
Excerpt from Rose-White Youth I take this opportunity of stating that all the verses in this book are my own, save such quotations as are too well known to need a reference, and the charming rhyme from which the title is taken. In publishing other books of mine, I have had to answer numerous enquiries as to the source of the verses at the heads of chapters and throughout the book, when the author was not stated, and as to whether I have published any volume of verse. In order to save my unknown friends and myself trouble, I think it best to state that the verses "Rose-white Youth" are mine, and that I have not published, and am not publishing, any collection of my verse. I am indebted to the editor of the "Gentlewoman" for leave to reprint "A Child's Roundelay," which first appeared in that paper but through some omission without my name to it.
