First words

Benham's Book of Quotations was begun about fifty years ago, but was not published until 1907.

Preface.

ABBOTT, Wenonah Stevens (b. 1865)
Behind is life and its longing,
Its trial, its trouble, its sorrow:
Beyond is the Infinite Morning
Of a day without a to-morrow.

A Soul's Soliloquy.
