PRAISE IN BUCKETSFUL.
Reading edition
"If I live a little longer, I should like it in buckets."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, the celebrated American writer, said that when he was young he liked his praises in teaspoonfuls. When he got a little older he liked them in tablespoonfuls, and later on in ladles. I think I have had a good ladleful this afternoon. If I live a little longer, I should like it in buckets.
Cardiff, September 14th, 1897.
