(December 1913)
Dear Mrs Osborn; here I think are the verses you wish me to write out and which I often quoted at blessed Castle Rock.
"Life is too short to waste
In critic peep or cynic bark,
Quarrel or reprimand:
Twill soon be dark;
Up! Mind thine own aim, and
God speed the mark!"
From Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem entitled "To J. W." The first line is "Set not thy foot on qraves"-
Ever affectionately yours
John Muir
