Now, Pat, you should know perfectly well that William McGonagall won everlasting poetic fame by doing fairly comparable work, work at which he toiled without surcease all the days of his life, and never did he yield one whit to the criticisms, discouragements, and mean-spirited snipings hurled at him by many insensitive publicans who were too crude to appreciate the lofty spirit that burned in the noble words he had writ.

Do you wish to be remembered as someone who failed to acknowledge the value of such art when it was thrust in his face?

I hope not!
