Excerpt from The Philosophy of HopeA darkening sky and a whitening sea,And the wind in the palm trees tall;Soon or late comes a call for me,Down from the mountain or up from the sea,Then let me lie where I fall.And a friend may write - for friends there be,On a stone from the gray sea wall,"Jungle and town and reef and sea -I loved God's Earth and His Earth loved me,Take it for all in all."About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
