John Bartlett (1820–1905).  Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.  1919.
 
 
NUMBER:8120
AUTHOR:Sam Walter Foss (1858–1911)
QUOTATION:He had a startling genius, but somehow it did n’t emerge;
  Always on the evolution of things that would n’t evolve;
Always verging toward some climax, but he never reached the verge;
  Always nearing the solution of some theme he could not solve.
ATTRIBUTION:The Inventor.
