O knihe

Excerpt from The St. Andrew's College Review: Christmas, 1920

I have arrived at the age when I look toward manhood as a certainty. I have been helped. Into this feeling by the deference shown me by Pullman porters, and by barbers whispering gently in my ear, Shave, sir!

Youth, that golden time! Only when the frost of age descends upon me shall I be able to realize what the untrammeled freedom of youth meant. Wise men and poets have sung, written and talked about the dreams of youth. I close my eyes prepared for a Vision of wondrous beauty, but the only one I can conjure is the Christmas turkey. Arabian Nights fall far short of a good menu.

Youth is the age of love; although I cannot produce at a mo ment's notice numerous pictures of the fair sex, I have associated with others who can perform this feat. Romance, however, is not a closed book to me; I have scouted tennis balls for pretty girls and have been rewarded by condescending smiles (i mostly get a laugh), and a Thank you, little boy, which would almost satisfy any Romeo.
