| Ferdinand Pinney Earle was born in New York City, June 8, 1878. It had been
his intention to follow a musical career but his family inducing him to
give up the violin, Mr. Earle went to Paris where he studied painting under
Bouguereau for five years. He later entered Whistler's studio and wrote
verse in the Latin quarter. Mr. Earle spent twenty years in Europe and the
Orient and studied literature at Oxford, in Italy and at Columbia University,
New York City. He is author of "Sonnets," "The Lyric Year"
and "Pilgrims of Eternity." He finds his greatest relaxation in
his garden with his children. |
