O knihe

Excerpt from Songs After Work

But there was' another phase of his activity even more attractive. He loved poetry, music, art, in all its growths. At his beautiful home, upon the Thiergarten, his friends enjoyed him at his best, but never more than when he could be persuaded to offer his thoughts in verse. We found them subtle, ingenious, opening beautiful vistas into the higher world in which his soul rested, and we loved him all the more for them.

It is at the desire of those who enjoyed his views of life thus expressed, that the one nearest and dearest to him has made a selection for the present volume. It is a wreath placed on his grave by her who loved him best. Too late for effective help, it was discovered that his passion for work had undermined his health. Long voyages followed; his colleagues appreciated his value and he was given ample vacations in var ious sunny lands. But all in vain. He died in July of the present year, at the age of forty-five.
