A fragmented poem celebrates sleep, awakening, and the soul’s ascent. It envisions a marble stillness as a sculpted guardian and a mother-like figure guiding the speaker’s spirit beyond Earth. Imagery blends dawn light, heaven, and farewell, with lingering ache and hope.
A.Entrant recounts a July 1864 river passage from Morganza to New Orleans aboard the Henvy Ames. He notes hot weather, lemonade rations, and moving preparations, describes Port Hudson views, the Alabama Cotton Press, and a stop at Carrollton before reaching New Orleans. He mentions political opinions on Lincoln, Fremont, and the Baltimore Convention, and lists prices for goods and ice. The letter closes with a brief Missouri yarn and a note on new rubber shoes.
On a moonlit eve before the Restoration, Fird Marston, a widowed Puritan youth, and his secret marriage to Grace Marston ignite a deadly family feud. Uncle Martin schemes revenge, setting in motion murder, pursuit, and a tragic chain that entwines Grace, Edward, and the missing heir. The tale follows loyalties, disguises, and a castle confrontation that seals fates.
A coxcomb jokes about the transmission of souls, claiming gold in Moses’s time and a gilded self. A transparent Hibernian asks a friend to discount a note, while a leader warns to honor due payments. The dialogue mixes satire on money, honor, and protest actions in a clipped 19th century style.
