Talk by Daniel George

The speaker examines, in a light-hearted way, the many Daniel Georges he sees in himself; the highbrow, the lowbrow, the kind and the caddish, the generous and the mean. He finds so many selves, in fact, that he is inclined to exclaim with the old woman in the nursery rhyme 'Lawk a mercy on me, this be none of I.'
