Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Noble Life
From the deep places of the human heart there rises a hungry cry for greatness. Weariedly we reach out lame hands, if haply we may but touch the hem of majesty. With unsleeping eyes we peer into every quarter for a glimpse of grandeur. We persist in looking the wrong way. We keep on heating the wrong bush. The sublimity which we seek is not without us, but within. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
