Ainslee's magazine, Volume 16, No. 3, October, 1905 Chapter 6

’TIS strange that Youth himself the task would set
To learn the very things Age would forget!
We labor to possess a world of things,
And lose them through the toil their getting brings.
Who would but hold the earth in sober wit
Must never try to hold too much of it.
Lee Fairchild.
