Not squirrels in the park alone His love and winter-kindness own. When Literary Fledglings try Their wings, in first attempt to fly, They flutter down to Franklin Square, Where Howells in his "Easy Chair" Like good Saint Francis scatters crumbs Of Hope, to each small bird that comes. And since Bread, cast upon the main, Must to the giver come again, I tender now, long overtime, This humble Crumb of grateful rhyme. (See Frontispiece)
Confessions of a Caricaturist edition by Oliver Herford Literature Fiction eBooks
Oliver Herford was one of the most prominent caricaturists and comic writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States. This little book has the verses but not the actual drawings of some of his favorite subjects. However, his verses are such clever fun that the book is still worth downloading.As examples, here's one that's purely silly:
If you should ask me whether Dante
Drank Benedictine or Chianti,
I should reply, "I cannot say,
But I can draw him either way."
And another one that has several sly barbs against J. Pierpont Morgan, the banker who, like many of his peers, bought up European art in huge quantities.
In Rome, when Morgan came to town,
They nailed the Colosseum down.
A great Collector! Once his Fad
Was Coins, but when in time he had
Collected all the coin in sight,
To Europe's Art his thoughts took flight.
But let not Europe palpitate
For fear of an Art Syndicate.
There are more Rembrandts, strange to say,
Than ever were in Rembrandt's day;
And statues "planted" in the sand
Will always equal the demand.
