Because my Hands can extend but few score Inches from my body; because my poverty keeps those Hands empty when my Heart aches to empty them; because my Life is short, and my Infirmities; and beacause a Book, if it extendsbut to one Edition, will probably benefit three or four on whom I could not otherwise have acted...

The sphere of Alexander the Great's Agency is trifling compared with it.

EPIGRAPH: What if you slept
And what if

You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in you hand
Ah, what then?

And clap thy ragged Coat, and pat thy head,
