Book Description

Excerpt from Habit-Formation and the Science of Teaching Habit So, then! Wilt use me as a garment? Well, 'Tis man's high impudence to think he may; But I - who am as old as Heav'n and Hell - I am not lightly to be cast away. Wilt run a race? Then I will run with thee, And stay thy steps or speed thee to the goal; Wilt dare a fight? Then, of a certainty, I'll aid thy foeman, or sustain thy soul. Lo, at thy marriage feast, upon one hand Face of the bride, and on the other - mine! Lo, at thy couch of sickness close I stand, And taint the cup, or make it more benign! Yea - hark! The very son thou hast begot One day doth give thee certain sign and cry; Hold thou thy peace - frighted or frighted not - That look, that sign, that presence - it is I! - Margaret Steele Anderson.
