A sprawling narrative blends memory of childhood adventures with a sharp, disjointed diary style of later life. The author recounts travels from rural roots to cities like London and Washington, mixing sentimental verse with jumbled anecdotes of office seeking, prize money schemes, and odd encounters.
A missive from 1853 details a trader’s restless voyage from Swap town to New York. He muses on money, ventures to Washington, hints at coffin stores in large shops, and expresses a growing fixation on profit while inching toward York. He promises to reveal plans to Jerry Starnes only privately.
A stark meditation on maternal loss and the haunting question of whether a child’s life deserves full sorrow. The speaker asks if a mother who has endured illness, poverty, and heartbreak could ever truthfully say it is “only a child” when facing a lifeless infant at the bedside. The verse probes responsibility, mercy, and the fragility of hope in the face of death.
