When The Heart Is Full It Runs

You See How It Is, My Dear Friends. There's No Pleasing Everyone. It's Hopeless To Even Try, And The More You Play The Peacemaker, The Less Peaceful Things Become.

Here Lies A Plain And Simple Jew Who Wrote In Plain And Simple Prose.

To Go To The Synagogue With One's Father On The Passover Eve - Is There In The World A Greater Pleasure Than That? What Is It Worth To Be Dressed In New Clothes From Head To Foot, And To Show Off Before One's Friends? Then The Prayers Themselves - The First Festival Evening Prayer And Blessing.

It Is An Old Custom Amongst Jewish Children, To Become War-like On The 'l'ag Beomer.' They Arm Themselves From Head To Foot With Wooden Swords, Pop-guns And Bows And Arrows. They Take Food With Them, And Go Off To Wage War.

I Will Never Permit Myself To Give In To American Taste And Lower The Standards Of Art.
