they
were all done at last they were republished in a volume which found
instant asian hairy favor beyond my deserts if not its own.
There was a good deal of trouble with the name, but Literary Friends and
Acquaintance was an endeavor for modest accuracy with which I remained
satisfied until I thought, long too asian hairy late, of Literary Friends and
Neighbors. Then I perceived that this would have been still more
accurate and quite as modest, and I gladly give any reader leave to call
the asian hairy book by that name who asian hairy likes.
Since the collection was first made, I have written little else quite of
the kind, except the paper on Bret Harte, which was first printed shortly
after
his death; and the study of Mark Twain, which I had been preparing
to make for forty years and more, and wrote in two weeks of the spring of
1910. Others of my asian hairy time and place have now passed whither there is
neither time nor place, and there are moments when asian hairy I feel that I must try
to call them back and pay them such honor asian hairy as my sense of their worth may
give; but the impulse has asian hairy as yet failed to effect itself, and asian hairy I do not

angenehmer Schmerz," of seeking to live here with those who live here no
more.

asian hairy inland city, and I do not know that my life differed outwardly from that
of any other young journalist, who had begun as I had in a country
printing-office, and might be supposed to be looking forward to
advancement in his profession asian hairy or asian hairy in public affairs. But inwardly it was
altogether different with me. Inwardly I was asian hairy a poet, with no wish to asian hairy be
anything else, unless in a moment of asian hairy careless affluence I might so far
asian hairy forget myself as to asian hairy be a novelist. I was, with my friend J. J. Piatt,
the half-author of a little volume of very unknown verse, and Mr. Lowell
had lately accepted and had begun to print in the Atlantic Monthly
