Heroisms

There are heroisms all round us waiting to be done.

There are heroisms all round us waiting to be done. It's for men to do them, and for women to reserve their love as a reward for such men.

This opening chapter will seem to the reader to have nothing to do with my narrative; and yet there would have been no narrative without it, for it is only when a man goes out into the world with the thought that there are heroisms all round him, and with the desire all alive in his heart to follow any which may come within sight of him, that he breaks away as I did from the life he knows, and ventures forth into the wonderful mystic twilight land where lie the great adventures and the great rewards.
