A collection of fragmented lines reflecting on rain, winds, and the mysteries of spring. The voice questions why nature's gifts endure and why some promises waste away, mixing imagery of fields, plains, and flowers. The text reads as a stray, lyrical meditation.
An isolated West Indian resident at No Haid Pawn inspires fear with brutal temper and patois. Tales claim he preserved human blood and committed a barbaric crime ending in public execution nearby. Locals recall a headless victim haunting the mansion as ghostly lore lingers over the plantation.
A disturbed passage describes enslaved Africans in a brutal, fearful regime with a dominant slave leader feared by others. The narrator recalls boyhood superstition giving way to adventure as he navigates a treacherous marsh and swamp while duck hunting, detailing the dangerous, almost unseen landscape and his perilous progress along a hidden trail.
A narrator hides in a moldy haunted house during a violent storm. He recalls pestilence, graves, and corpses as thunder booms and rain pours through broken windows. Fearful, he beds down, contemplating rescue delays and lingering footsteps in the dark corridor.
Fragment describes a ghostly abduction and violent finale in a haunted mansion, with storm shock, a bloodied knife, and the house burning to the water. It also notes a Scribner’s Magazine mention and a post office etiquette debate over whether the postmaster general should remove his hat indoors in the presence of lady clerks.
A humorous exchange shows a patient asking for a pulse count while the doctor recites a playful sequence from one to ten then cards. The setup reads like a light medical joke about counting and identity.
