Opis: Petey Simmons at Siwash (Classic Reprint) - Fitch George

Excerpt from Petey Simmons at Siwash

Out of the beautiful Middle West in the first decade of the present century, there sprang to our notice a new and a true humorist, by name George Fitch. It is a rubric in the world's calendar when a new humorist is born, for the humorist is a man with a vision. He sees not as other men see, but when he tells his vision to us of the dull eyes, we exclaim, "Of course! anybody can see that. We have always thought so ourselves, but somehow we forgot to mention it. Show us something else that we have always seen and never knew it."

The humorist complies and we follow him gladly, laughingly and lovingly, but then comes some one with a solemn face and a strident voice, who speaks a weird language. And those in authority tell us, "Here is true greatness. Observe the melancholy countenance! Listen to the tragic tone of the voice! And behold! you can with difficulty understand the tongue in which he speaks. No one may surely know what he is saying. Is it not sublime"
