A Short Summary of My Life

"O LORD, Thou hast made me rich!"

"On a Popularizer" Louis Untermeyer

Midwife to all the Muses, you grow rich
By making the immortal less divine.
With what finesse you trim, and cut, and stitch,
Feigning that every stitch---in time---serves Nine.

"On a Self-made Philosopher" Louis Untermeyer

"Life was my university,"
He boasts, and awaits approbation;
Revealing to the nth degree,
The sad results of education.
