The first duty of man is to conquer fear; he must get rid of it, he cannot act till then.

poet/ lyricist
more on him here
I was keen to read more of his work but in a physical book form (not e-version).
I came across an old one and it has been a brilliant read till date.
A flower poem
Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it
droop and drop into the dust.
I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of
pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am
aware, and the time of offering go by.
Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower
in thy service and pluck it while there is time.
