Author Description

Excerpt from The Kaleidoscope, 1916 Out of 'the nebulous ages, Out of the palliate past, From the tomb of the nations unnumbered, From the tale of the first and the last That rose in their transient glory, To fall in their trammelling pride, The message is borne over centuries own Like the death-telling mast on the tide.
