The inspiring words of Max Ehrmann's prose poem
"Desiderata" ring as true today as when they were first written in 1927.
Millions of readers have since been moved by Ehrmann's sage words, which
begin famously with "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what
peace there may be in silence."
Max Ehrmann (1872 - 1945) was born in Terre Haute, Indiana and
graduated from De Pauw University, going on to do postgraduate studies in
law and philosophy at Harvard University. After practicing law for several
years he joined the family business, but retired ten years later to
concentrate on writing. It was only in the late '60s when Desiderata became
a cult poem of the new generation, that his work began to be better known.
