Tall Oaks

... from little acorns grow.

Ancient metal money box which I had as a child. There is something inside and I have lost the key.

"You'd scarce expect one of my age
To speak in public on the stage;
And if I chance to fall below
Demosthenes or Cicero,
Don't view me with a critic's eye,
But pass my imperfections by.
Large streams from little fountains flow,
Tall oaks from little acorns grow..."
David Everett 1770-1813
American newspaper editor, proprietor, and poet.
