I Have Been, As The Phrase Is,

There Are Dark Shadows On The Earth, But Its Lights Are Stronger In The Contrast.

I Have Been, As The Phrase Is, Liberally Educated, And Am Fit For Nothing.

I Mean A Man Whose Hopes And Aims May Sometimes Lie (as Most Men's Sometimes Do, I Dare Say) Above The Ordinary Level, But To Whom The Ordinary Level Will Be High Enough After All If It Should Prove To Be A Way Of Usefulness And Good Service Leading To No Other. All Generous Spirits Are Ambitious, I Suppose, But The Ambition That Calmly Trusts Itself To Such A Road, Instead Of Spasmodically Trying To Fly Over It, Is Of The Kind I Care For.
