Novel Exercise Of A Poet In A Tired World
A New York Press writer recalls poet Harry Sherman and a literary friend who avoided normal workouts yet sought constant exercise. The man wrote about 15 hours daily, avoided walking and cycling, ran up and down stairs for words, and kept a dictionary in the basement and a thesaurus in the kitchen as he hunted for verbals. The piece notes the curious fact that no living animal has more than five toes, with horses single-toed, camels two-toed, rhinoceroses three-toed, and hippopotamuses four-toed, while elephants and others belong to broader five-toed groups.
