I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.Ģ. Since that time, however, publishers have given credit where credit seems to be dueto Ella Wheeler Wilcox.ġ. As a final irony, he had the two famous lines chiseled on his tombstone in Oak Hill Cemetery, Washington, DC. Neither Joyce nor anyone else ever produced one, but he continued to reprint the poem as his own until he died in 1915. Wheeler offered $5,000 for any printed version of the poem dated earlier than her own. The poem had a different title, Laugh and the World Laughs With You, but Joyce claimed it as his own. To her dismay, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, (now married) found the poem, word for word, in a book by John A. The collection was a great financial success. The poem was published again in May of that year in a collection of Miss Wheelers called Poems of Passion. The author was Ella Wheeler, a Wisconsin-born journalist and poet, who received $5 for her work.
These lines first appeared in Solitude, a poem printed in the Februissue of the New York Sun. Blansky had broken his leg in the first half and spent the second half in the hospital, listening to himself playing one heck of a game.
The next day, the Chicago coach called him to say he had done a really nice job of covering the gameexcept for one thing.
And since Blansky was the only legitimate name, he did his play-by-play with Blansky making most of the tackles. As local listeners didnt know the Chicago players, and his station wasnt powerful enough to reach Chicago, the sportscaster made up the names of every Chicago player but Blansky. Identifying the home-team players was easy, but the only familiar name on the lineup of the visiting Chicago team was that of Blansky, a linebacker who was up for all-state. Then it began to rain the ink on the chart ran, and the numbers on the backs of the players were covered with mud. A local sportscaster, doing radio coverage of an Indiana high-school football game from the stands, used a chart listing the names, numbers, and positions of the players to help him describe the action.
