Excerpt from Wild Flowers: A Book of Verse Many authors are of opinion that it is a mistake to publish these early works on which the 'prentice hand is so strongly marked; but I do not share their views, because the first step must be taken before the writer can know his own strength and weakness. In the following poems, written during the last two years, I expect the reader to see many faults but it is possible, too, he may, bearing in mind my inexperience, find in an otherwise darkened sky a few Sparks which show promise of better work later on. For I believe if a writer will ever do anything worth while, anything fit to live, a few harbingers of that to come, will be seen in his early efforts, if the critic will take the trouble to look for them. So I make my verses public, trusting they may be read by broad-minded men and women, who are ever ready to encourage even the faintest promise of ability.
