Excerpt from Edward's Dream Wilhelm Busch had views of his own which seemed to incapacitate him for a career on any of the traditionally pre scribed lines; and it was not easy for him to find his proper place in the world. He was neither an engineer nor an artist. Hedisliked the exactness needed for a drafts man, and he lacked the love of beauty that would enable him to become a dis tinguished painter. He was easy going; and yet he was talented, full of original wit and thought, and he felt that he could accomplish something in the world, if he would only understand his own nature.
