Fragmentary verse excerpt begins with BY WES and BY ELIZABETH STUART PHREPS The Wave Goes Down and Gates of the New Jerusalem invoke celestial imagery The text shifts to The Three Little Chairs and mentions The Woman's Bureau Children's Bureau, suggesting a period publication with unrelated literary bits and social welfare references
A sprawling, collage like piece mixes surreal dialogue with snippets of warm domestic scenes. It threads Aunt Grizzy Grampton’s old china, a Maine trip for a prized teacup set, and a Symington household’s struggle over memory, value, and sentiment amid a winter journey. Interleaved are choppy digressions on philosophy, sense theory, and a Darwinian riff, yielding a fragmented, stream of consciousness style.
A jumble of notes covers wax monuments from Cleveland to Chicago, moral debates on prohibition in Maine, and anecdotes on education, energy, and children's health. It blends science talk with social commentary and miscellaneous household tips.
The fragmentary text blends health claims for Hop Bitters with sensational notes on crime, politics, and social life. It mentions Queen Victoria’s attempted assassin MacLean, Maine crime rates, the Republican party at a convention, market mushrooms, Bob Ford pardon, Ada Sweet’s appointment, President Arthur’s actions, a Polk City shooting, a Mormon seating dispute, and a closing sermon fragment, all in a rambly, era-typical voice.
