NUMBER:	7584
AUTHOR:	John Townsend Trowbridge (1827– ?)
QUOTATION:	If you will observe, it does n’t take A man of giant mould to make A giant shadow on the wall; And he who in our daily sight Seems but a figure mean and small, Outlined in Fame’s illusive light, May stalk, a silhouette sublime, Across the canvas of his time.
