Hall Caine's Memoirs

Dante Gabriel Rosetti was the richest literary man of his time. Hall Caine loved sonnets and ballads, so he devoured all of Rosetti's poetry. He even wrote a lecture chanting the praises of Rosetti’s artistic achievement. The life of many a person could probably be changed if only someone would make him feel important. Such is the power, this stupendous power, of sincere heartfelt appreciation. That is not strange. Almost everyone considers himself important, very important.
