"

The writer of this legend then recordsIts ghostly application in these words:The image is the Adversary old,Whose beckoning finger points to realms of gold;Our lusts and passions are the downward stairThat leads the soul from a diviner air;The archer, Death; the flaming jewel, Life;Terrestrial goods, the goblet and the knife;The knights and ladies all whose flesh and boneBy avarice have been hardened into stone;The clerk, the scholar whom the love of pelfTempts from his books and from his nobler self.The scholar and the world! The endless strife,The discord in the harmonies of life!The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,And all the sweet serenity of books;The market-place, the eager love of gain,Whose aim is vanity, and whose end is pain!

The Complete Poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"

Although my road to writing seems like it may have come easily, there were a few bumps in that road. I didn__ get a lot of encouragement from friends, although my family were great supporters. I also had many_what you would call __ind-boggling_ moments, when I would doubt myself and what I was writing. It has been said that we, ourselves, are our own worst critics.All the hard work had payed off though, and I created a children__ book that I am proud of, and an unforgettable little girl that will touch the hearts of many._-Nina Jean Slack
