A fragmented 1909 piece recounts a Christmas candle fable about two white candles chosen for a tree. It contrasts the bright red pink and yellow candles with the two white ones, one candle’s glow triumphing at the very top while other passages discuss draughts and the herring catch in the North Atlantic.
In 1909 at Towser's Point near Booster Beach, Miss Jessie Carnot, deaf and mute, fends off suitors while fishing with Tom Towser's family nearby.

A whimsical ode questions humanitys grasp of celestial motion and ponderous secrets of the universe.
