Life, Heart, Eyes, Romantic, Poetry

I saw what the Depression was doing to my students. Often they could get no jobs, or jobs which were wholly inadequate.

It is no compliment to be the stupidly idolised master of a dog whose instinct it is to idolise, but it is a very distinct tribute to be chosen as the friend and confidant of a philosophic cat who is wholly his own master and could easily choose another companion if he found such an one more agreeable and interesting. H. P. Lovecraft

Dog, Friend, Choose, Interesting, More

Alone, Wait, World, Feet, Present, You
