Read   A PICKBRAIN. of Shapes of Clay, free online book, by Ambrose Bierce, on ReadCentral.com.

  What! imitate me, friend?  Suppose that you
  With agony and difficulty do
  What I do easily ­what then?  You’ve got
  A style I heartily wish I had not. 
  If I from lack of sense and you from choice
  Grieve the judicious and the unwise rejoice,
  No equal censure our deserts will suit ­
  We both are fools, but you’re an ape to boot!
