The Old Turnpike Echoes Into Modern Roads
A fragmentary poem reflects on the decline of the old turnpike and stagecoach era. It laments dust and rotting paths as iron rails and steam power reshape travel, leaving the aging pike to fade while new roads and industry advance. The piece closes with a stark shift from horse and wheel to iron and steam.

Manuscript fragments of a poet and his times unraveled
A sprawling, fragmentary reminiscence traces the life of a 19th century poet and biographer Joseph Grant, mentioning birthplace in Beuchery parish Wincardineshire, early verse, publications in 1925 and 1927, and close circles including Hubert Vicoll. The text blends anecdotes of tavern life, friendships with Georg M N a b, and social sketches from Stonehaven to Dundee, with reflections on poetry, prose, and literary aspiration.
