Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Estimates of Life
Fleshly pleasure is another field that en tices the Wandering Ulysses. The lust Of the world, the lust Of flesh and the pride of life are sisters in the trio Of formidable flappers who would become substitutes for man's higher fields Of conquest. But we can not blame the man for being what the Creator made him; and naturally man covets riches, desires kingship, pines for glory and demands a satisfaction that nature did not give him: therefore these instincts, tendencies and cravings are not evil within themselves. It is only when they are biased by inward depravity and encouraged by outer misdirection that they result in the monstrosities that are worthy Of no defense.
