A reflective poem recalls a youth’s intense romance from early spring to a stormy night. The speaker mourns a vanished love, treasures past jewels and tokens, and warns others to heed the patient, difficult path of love. The verse addresses enduring devotion and wistful yearning across years.
Years ago at a theatre a brisk young actress who once worked on a canal boat faced eager patrons. A boatman and friend teased aloud about her identity, claiming she was Filkins’s daughter, provoking a tense standoff. The actress absorbed the moment, then a man shouted a claim and a practical joke caused a loud audience reaction.
Fragmented verse asks where life’s lilies and roses endure in a golden dawn. It references biblical figures and is framed by hints of ancient adverts and a ruined, poetic memory.
A rowdy joke in the Wisconsin Legislature room involved Doublehead and Milwaukee lobbyists, empty champagne baskets, and a staged Babel monument using an owl tied to a towel rack. The prank ended when Doublehead entered, seeing the owl and being greeted with a witty wink, leaving onlookers amused and the scene noted in local papers.
