English pensioner, poor but, honest. I am a retired sculptor and artist, not reknown but very good all the same I have three grown childen and numerous grandchildren my lifes treasures all. My life is a constant finacial struggle but,happy regardless, I am comfortable and comparatively content. I get very ditressed by the lack of educational and employment opportunities for my clever but, poor grandchildren, and deplore the arrogance and total lack of concern displayed by this government towards the poorer classes of our society. Well thats me in a nutshell, expounding again upon my discontent.
Trickery I recently went to purchase a new copy of Desiderata, my old and treasured copy having been lost in a move. I was horrified to see the name of a modern person.Max Erhmman attached to this beautiful piece of prose, which has been a edict to live by for most of my adult life. My original copy was given to me my a man of the church here in England and its origins were stated as being found in Old St Paul's church in London in the 15th century. Is this man's claim a sham and a fraud? a piece of the trickery mentioned in the poem? Has this man and his family earned thousands of pounds by fraud, or is my old and trusted copy in error. If this fraud is true, how come no-one has spotted it before?? Can anyone tell me
- As explained in our article on Desiderata, Mr Ehrmann's poem was included in a book of devotional verse published by St Paul's Church in Baltimore, Maryland (not the St Paul's Cathedral in London). The book of devotional verse included the date that the church was founded: 1692. Subsequent readers mistook this for the date that the poem was written, and confusion ensued.
