My favorite book dedication, from Jerome K Jeromes Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow: To The very dear and well-beloved Friend Of my prosperous and evil days-- To the friend Who, though in the early stages of our acquaintanceship Did oftentimes disagree with me, has since Become to be my very warmest comrade-- To the friend Who, however often I may put him out, never (now) Upsets me in revenge-- To the friend Who, treated with marked coolness by all the female Members of my household, and regarded with suspicion By my very dog, nevertheless seems day by Day to be more drawn by me, and in return To more and more impregnate me with The odor of his friendship-- To the friend Who never tells me of my faults, never wants to Borrow money, and never talks about himself-- To the companion Of my idle hours, the soother of my sorrows, The confidant of my joys and hopes-- My oldest and strongest PIPE, This little volume Is Gratefully and affectionately Dedicated.
