Explore "The Mythological Zoo" by Oliver Herford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O wondrous worm that won the Height / Of Fame by keeping out of sight! / Never was known on Land or Sea / Such a Colossal Modesty; / Never such arrogant pretence / Of Ostentatious Diffidence!
Celebrity whom none has seen, / Save some Post Prandial Marine, / No magazine can reproduce / Your Photograph. -- Oh, what's the use / Of doing things when one may be / So Famous a Nonentity!
