Excerpt from The Vendor of Dreams Along the main street of a great city a city in the East, from whence the sun sends his informing rays to all Being; there slowly crept an old, old man. Hoary with age, he tremblingly drove before him a small ass, who was surely the great-grandfather of all the asses, so overweighted did he seem with wisdom and with years. Depending from either side of the small saddle upon his back were great jars, inflated water-skins and huge bundles. So overladen was he that only his head with its pendant ears, and his hindquarters could be seen. His master guided his ways by a small rod with which he occasionally touched the faithful beast, more as an indi cation as to the course he was to take than from an assumption of authority; for be tween this master and slave there seemed to be a most perfect understanding.
