QUOTE : Trippers and askers surround me,<br />People I meet.... the effect upon me of my early life.....<br /> of the ward and city I live in....of the nation,<br />The latest news....discoveries, inventions, societies....<br /> authors old and new,<br />My dinner, dress, associates, looks, business, compliments,<br /> dues,<br />The real or fancified indifference of some man or woman<br /> I love,<br />The sickness of one of my folks- or of myself....or<br /> ill-doing....or loss or lack of money....or<br /> depressions or exaltations,<br />They come to me days and nights and go from me again,<br />But they are not the Me myself.
