Explore "Confessions of a Caricaturist" by Oliver Herford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The very name of Bernard Shaw / Fills me with mingled Mirth and Awe. / Mixture of Mephistopheles, / Don Quixote, and Diogenes, / The Devil's wit, the Don's Romance / Joined to the Cynic's arrogance. / Framed on Pythagorean plan, / A Vegetable Souperman. / Here you may see him crown with bay / The Greatest Playwright of his day;[1] / Observe the look of Self Distrust / And Diffidence -- upon the bust.
[1] For "his" read any. -- G. B. S.
