Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parables of Safed the Sage The brief chapters which make up this book have appeared in successive issues of the advance during recent months. They are a literary recreation, and something more; for they have a serious purpose. They were begun with little thought that they would be continued more than a few weeks, but as readers of the advance appeared to like them, and other papers copied them, they have continued to appear. The first one was written while the writer, accompanied by his wife, was making a tour of the Mississippi River in the spring of 1915. The manner in which the mate of the boat addressed the col ored deckhands afforded some food for thought. The parable does not reproduce the mate's language precisely, but the meaning and intent are preserved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

THE THREE HOLLYHOCKS NOW it came to pass on the day after the Municipal Mowing Machine had cut down the Hollyhock, that I went forth among men, and I met a man who hath much Worldly Wisdom, and my heart was heavy, and I communed with him. And I told him how I had found the Hollyhock, and had digged about it very early in the Morning, so that I did eat my Breakfast that day in the Sweat of my face, and how my Heart went out to the Hollyhock, and how I thought I should see Flowers blooming thereon, and how I returned at Night, and the Municipal Mowing Machine, which the Town had Procured, at the Request of the Civic League whereof he and I were both members, had cut down my Hollyhock, and left it to wither among the Thistles, and the Burdocks, and the Tall Grass. And he heard me, and thus he Spake: Even so is Life. There is no Law save Fate, and it Happeneth alike to the Evil and the Good. Thou hast spent Labor in Vain seeking in Thine own life to be a Hollyhock, for it is much More Fun to be a Burdock. The Blossom of the Burdock is quite as lovely as that of the Hollyhock, if thou only Thinkest so, and behold how much Farther thou Scatterest Thine Influence if thou art a Burdock than if thou art an Hollyhock. Not only dost thou Stick to people who pass, but People go out of their way, however much they Pretend the Contrary, to pick up Burrs and carry them away. And in the End, one Fate happeneth to all. The great, unseeing Municipal Mowing Machine called Fate cometh down the Concrete Walk of Time, scarring its Smooth Surface with the Calks on the Shoes of the Horses that drag the Chariot of the Inevitable, and it Cutteth down both the Good and the Evil. And who shall know, in an hundred years, whether thou wert an Hollyhock, bearing...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning nearly a hundred years ago, parables of "Safed" were published by William E. Barton, in five collections spanning eight years.

And one of those Fools was a man and the other was a woman. And that is a Bad Combination. And there came unto them one of their friends, and spake unto them, saying, Behold, people are talking about you; and what they say is Unpleasant. Have a care, therefore, lest what they say become More Unpleasant. And when the Two Fools heard this, they spake one to another, and said, We should worry about what People Say. For we have done nothing amiss, and we shall do nothing amiss. And they who speak evil of us seek only the evil that is in their own hearts. They are Idle Gossips. Let them talk. We will give them something to Talk About. Then these Two Fools proceeded to give the Gossips something to Talk About. And they succeeded beyond their Fondest Hopes. And the more people talked, the more Defiant these Two Fools became. And when they had gotten themselves into a Pretty Bad Mess of Publick Scandal, then did the Woman Fool come unto Keturah, and the Man Fool came unto me. And we had what might be called a Foursome. And the Woman Fool wept much; and the Man Fool swore. And I said unto them, Ye are Two Fools with less than a Single Thought; two Nuts, and both of you Cracked. And they said, Behold, we have done no wrong. Let the evil be unto those who evil think. And I said, Nay; the evil is also unto those who cause others to think evil. And the man said, When a man knoweth that he hath done nothing wrong, then may he stand in his Conscious Rectitude and face the Lying, Foul-mouthed world. And I said, Save thine eloquence. For a righteous cause a man may face the world, but not for the sake of indulging his own Folly. And Keturah spake unto the Woman Fool, and said, My dear, this world is prone to judge that...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Safed and Keturah: The Third Series of the Parables of Safed the Sage The popularity of the Parables of Safed the Sage has grown steadily since the appearance of the first of them in the summer of 1915. The Mississippi Mate, whose language was most unlike to that of the pulpit, but whose essential message was not wholly different, introduced this series in that year, and provoked so much of mirth and wholesome reflection that other articles in the same vein followed. The series on the Hollyhocks fairly launched the author upon his career as a grower of those beautiful flowers, bringing him seed from many readers, and requests for seed from the Hollyhocks of Safed. In some respects this is a unique form of instruction; in others it is very ancient. The things of ordinary life are taken as suggestions for practical lessons. This is a form of instruction not only time-honored, but inevitable. We are continually advancing from the known to the unknown, and interpreting spiritual things in the light of things tangible. But Safed's method is wholly his own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Wit and Wisdom of Safed the Sage written by William Eleazar Barton and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The keen wit expressed in the parables of Safed, a modern-day sage who dispenses his wisdom on travels around the United States, were favorites when first published in the 1910s. Originally part of a magazine series, the Safed parables are short, thoughtful and often amusing. Readers in need of a lesson, or wanting to reflect on the various challenges and events of life, reacted with admiration and joy. Spurred by many popular requests, over the years William Eleazar Barton placed hundreds of his best Safed parables in book form. The majority were written during the journeys of Barton and his wife (who herself took the role of Keturah in the parables) ? as a result we often see allusions to the beauty of the great outdoors, of nature and animal life. Although from a different time and characterized by folksy, old-time language, the lessons dispensed by the good-humored Safed carry a timeless quality; the eternal traits, follies and triumphs of humanity are explored.
