English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)
“It is too late—the world is too dark for any thought ahead. Others are writing my biography, and let it rest as they elect to make it. I have lived my life, well and ill, always less well than I wanted it to be but it is, as it is, and as it has been; so small a thing, to have had so much about it!”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
