Harmony in all of its manifold forms should be like a sunset free to all who can drink it in. The Roycroft Shop is for The Roycrofters, and each is limited only by his capacity to absorb. Art is the expression of man's joy in his work, and all the joy and love that you can weave into a fabric comes out again and belongs to the individual who has the soul to appreciate it.
I remember that I thought so little of the volume that I read it with a lead-pencil and marked it all up and down and over, and filled the fly-leaves with random thoughts, and disfigured the margins with a few foolish sketches. Then one fine day White Pigeon came out to the Roycroft Shop from Buffalo, as she was passing through.
Death did not meet him as a stranger. He came as a sometime-expected friend. Father was not unprepared. The plan that would have sustained us the seven weeks he was in Europe will sustain us seven years and another seven years. Elbert Hubbard's work will go on. I know of no Memorial that would please Elbert Hubbard half so well as to broaden out the Roycroft Idea.
So we have pictures, statuary, flowers, ferns, palms, birds, and a piano in every room. We have the best sanitary appliances that money can buy; we have bathrooms, shower-baths, library, rest-rooms. Every week we have concerts, dances, lectures. Besides being a workshop, the Roycroft is a School.
The only way to help people is to give them a chance to help themselves. So the Roycroft Idea is one of reciprocity you help me and I'll help you. We will not be here forever, anyway; soon Death, the kind old Nurse, will come and rock us all to sleep, and we had better help one another while we may: we are going the same way let's go hand in hand!
My Father has been my teacher and I do not at all envy the College Man. For the last twenty years I have been working in the Roycroft Shops. I believe I am well grounded in Business also, in Work. When I was twelve years old my father transferred Ali Baba to the garden and I did the chores around the house and barn for a dollar a week.
