Excerpt from Rambling Reminiscences: An Intimate Excursion Through the Highways and Byways of Old Hackensack
You may not desire to sing the old songs they sang long years ago, but there is something in annals of the past that revives dormant memories, and causes forgotten scenes to pass across the mental vision, repeople deserted places and refresh lagging recollection of localities, individuals and events. Who does not take at least a passing pleasure in narratives of those far-removed days when Father and Mother, then as young as their grand-children of today, were Sitting in a corner, on a Sunday eve, with a taper finger resting on your sleeve? It is dangerous to quote, but a chance is taken on the accuracy of the old song lines. And this is a reminder of a story of the Inquisitive One, who asked, What is the most common misquotation in the English language? The Purist answered: When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war. Well, what is the matter with that? Asked the Inquisitive One.
