Poetic reflection and current events in Harper's Magazine
The excerpt blends a lyrical meditation on love and fading roses with scattered 19th century news items. It mentions a long poem by Charles W. Coleman Jr and shifts to latest news notes: Missouri and Illinois on the Interstate Commerce Commission, coastal defences, Wabash tracks to St Louis, Senator Stanford’s California university plan, fires in Haverhill and Sun Prairie, Republic Ohio collision blame on the railroad, centenarian celebrations, tragic poison ink death, wife-husband shootings, and New York murder hangings. The mix reflects magazine miscellany of culture and current affairs.
