Excerpt from A Thousand More Verses The word "Verse" is from the Latin "Versus," a line or row. It means, as applied to literature, not a stanza, as is often supposed, but a line of poetry, or that which its author claims or designates as such. The author of this book having been writing more or less verses all through his life thus far, inserts the word "more" between the second and fourth words of the book's title. There will be found a thousand verses in the book, and perhaps a few in addition, for good (or bad) measure. Some people like to carry poems around, and read them as they have time and opportunity.
