My Dear Mr Jefferson: -
I thank you for your kind note about my book. The title is taken from no quotation but from the old story of the man who, looking at the Moon, missed the Sixpence at his feet.
This was told me in my youth as a warning, but with advancing years I have accepted it as a lesson; for it seems to me better on the whole to look for the Moon and let the Sixpence go hang.
Yours very faithfully
W.S. Maugham | |
