A long regarded verse by Pos is praised as among the finest literary achievements. The poem reflects the author’s distinctive mind and would have immortalized him even if no other works existed.
A poem fragment recounts a narrator hearing a tapping at his chamber door, then a raven perched on a bust speaks nevermore. The speaker laments Lenore and descends into fear as the bird’s single refrain echoes through the haunted room.
A December scene in a merchant’s parlor shows him torn between lavish living and rising charity requests. A plain visitor challenges him to remember past prayers and asks if he will give more, leading to a rebirth of faith as the merchant resolves to surrender all to his savior.
The piece denounces Illinois lawmakers for a proposed law enabling enslavement of colored men, accusing the Democratic party of Doughface actions and criticizing Northern politicians for compromising liberty. It argues the Love Fors Legislature earns the title of Dough-Faces and forecasts political backlash and eventual repeal.
The piece compares English and Irish political styles through Webster and Wirt. It praises Wirt’s elegant, harmonious architecture of thought versus Webster’s grand, pyramidal rhetoric. It also notes public notices on pronunciation reforms and Barnum’s latest project proposals, and ends with a local account of spiritualism affecting a Lockport merchant.
A humorously scattered piece argues that neglecting a horse’s skin and daily cleaning leads to disease, while a fastidiously pampered animal miraculously thrives on palates and whims. It then shifts to anecdotes about behavior, spirit lore, Uncle Tom references, and political salary notes from Britain and America.
