A poem fragment laments death and decay as a scene of horror. The speaker recalls a cold hand and a clay white face, a curse upon friends, and a deathward birth amidst winter and sorrow. A mysterious figure grants a soulless flower.
In a snowbound city a hungry boy named Rob eyes a shop window and receives a Christ like gift. A generous stranger helps him gain a framed picture and food, leading to a transformative reunion with his grandfather Deacon Reed and family.
A fragmentary clipping sketches scenes of married life reactions to a newspaper editor, a Springfield trip, a court fine, and a series of urban anecdotes. It mentions Elmira Gazette, Saginaw County poorhouse, Virginia City drill, and quirky vignettes about cafes, horses, and misfired flirtations.
