Carolyn Wells

"On the Frontier"
Bret Harte
contagiously you bring to me mistrust Of all my landmarks, when, as here to-night, Out of the midst of every pleasant gift The world can offer you, you raise your voice In scoffing irony against each face, Form, action, motive, that together make Your life, and ours.
"Mr. Faust"
Arthur Davison Ficke
