A Quiet West Visit Unravels in a Choir Laugh
A Unitarian minister visiting Roxbury regales a Boston Globe reader with a tale of a village blacksmith in L-e who, despite reading and English limits, learned a tune and delivered a joke line about dying brides. The anecdote pivots on a comic chorus misread as “And, aying, bide ug all aspire.” The article also profiles Antonia Corsi, famed model, whose early life as a wandering minstrel led to work with Felix Mescheles, Sargent, and Abbey, culminating in a celebrated artistic career and appearances as Mephistopheles in a cap of defiled ham.
