Trams and loyalty to an idea in Lowell’s essay
A collage of excerpts on loyalty to ideals, travel notes, and curiosities. Lowell praises a tramp’s steadfastness, while other items discuss tuberculosis origins, London tobacco, Venetian church mosaics, a wrongful hanging tale, Alaska’s northern stop Hawker, deathwatch beetles, and a joke about kissing the Blarney Stone.
