Three Supreme Testings.

"Three supreme testings await strong men in this life: the testing

of poverty and obscurity; of prosperity and applause; and of

suffering. Many who enter life conscious, even though dimly, of

great latent capacities, turn sour and bitter under neglect, narrow

circumstances, and lack of appreciation. Others who pass that

first trial successfully are corrupted or enfeebled by success and

adulation. Many who stand erect alike in obscurity and success,

fail utterly under the testing of suffering."

CHICAGO.

the city sits in a cup. with the skyline barely reaching the top.

its shadows reach and its dirty feet screech.

but the city will always sit...in a cup.
