Cobwebs from a Library Corner by John Kendrick Bangs is a collection of playful poems about the novel, the pen, the need for copyright, and more. Excerpt: "A little bit of Thackeray, A little bit of Scott, A modicum of Dickens just To tangle up the plot, A paraphrase of Marryat, Another from Dumas— You ask me for a novel, sir, And I say, there you are. The pen is greater than the sword, Of that there is no doubt."
