Excerpt from The Silver Age: And Other Dramatic Memories
Often did I sneak down from my pedestal and surreptitiously steal a place in a game of marbles, and in pretence of seeing fair play demonstrate that my ancient skill was still with me. But the old intoxicating spirit of the Victory won was gone. It had evaporated with the freedom that had been denied me. I saw also that the boys took my en trance into their sacred circles as an intrusion. They seemed to be not at all put out when I won, taking it as a matter of course, and when I once played for the usual stakes they paid up with unconcealed ill grace and not at all in the proper spirit of the gambler who had lost a fair game fairly. I was made to feel that I had taken a mean advantage of them. But a few short days ago I was admired as a master, and now-well, now there was no special merit in a monitor winning. Indeed, I soon found there was grave danger in his losing. For when I met my match, as I did on one unhappy occasion, the tale of my defeat was twice told, and for days after I was met with grinning, triumphant faces. I had gained in rank, but I had lost my original greatness. Sic transit gloria mundi. From that time I kept my lonely seat high on the steps, and watched the boys at play with a broken heart.

Excerpt from The Silver Age: And Other Dramatic Memories
Where silver mists the hill-tops cloak,
Where scents the air the wood-fire's smoke,
Where green and white in sunlight's shine
The red-roofed house gleams o'er the chine,
There 'neath the soundless sky's blue dome,
There is rest - there is home.
Where hosts of pines 'gainst western sky
Uplift their serried spears on high,
And through their branches' fret of bars
Shine the kind eyes of evening stars,
Where glows the sunset's golden foam,
There is rest - there is home.
The year's brave story, blue and gold,
By sun and cloud and greenwood told,
Enchants my heart and lifts my mind
To dreams of hope that I may find,
When spent of strength I no more roam,
There my rest - there my home.
Companion dear on life's high road,
Who shared my pain and sorrow's load,
Unfettered from the world's demands,
Content we'll wait on love's commands,
Where silvered gleams the even's gloam,
Where is rest - where is home.
