The Devil's Dictionary - Ambrose Bierce - Free Online Library
Ambrose Bierce
funny, humorous, and even a little cynical.
But somehow I can smell a little about the kind of life American writers, such as Allan Poe, led at the first half of 19th century. Definitely not easy, I think, although life is never easy.
Thus, the entry I like best is:
INFANCY, n. The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth,
"Heaven lies about us." The world begins lying about us pretty soon
afterward.
By the way, I think it is pretty cool to able to sign one's than as A.B. :p
