He [Arnold Bennett] lived zestfully by the power of words, and even realized his great desire to own a yacht. Many other persons, perhaps no more gifted than we, have also succeeded.  Although they have not profited greatly in a financial way, or become famous by their abiity to write well, they have, nevertheless, shared with the eminent one satisfaction--that of expressing themselves adequately, of communicating their emotions, their thoughts, their opinions, attitudes and ideals.  By the power of well-wrought language they have achieved self-expression and have succeeded in rising from the buried life of a s solitary organism to the rich life of communion with their fellows.  Such satisfaction, such success is within the reach of all of us.  [p. xiv]
