Like the
few aforementioned books above, this is another I found hiding in a
box in a closet in my garage. I'm not a fan of inspirational books.
Sure, I've had my share of dark moods. But words of inspiration have
always struck me as sappy. After flipping through this little book,
however, and discovering poems and sayings by writers Robert Frost,
Dickinson, Shakespeare, Emerson, St. Augustine, Byron, Whitman, and
Keats, as well as the Psalms, I couldn't resist reading it.
