A Fragment of Verse and an Odd Miscellany
A long, tangled prose poem describes a weary traveler crossing snow and mist, with imagery of dark skies, cold winds, and fading companionship. Interwoven are several historical vignettes: a sugar refinery fire and a watchman’s tale of survival. a dramatic avalanche narrative. a Chicago Times remark on newspaper costs. a Denver frontier confrontation. and assorted anecdotes from Canton and beyond, all portraying peril, endurance, and human folly.
