Unpublished Burns Poem About Love and Lost Freedom
A fragmentary verse echoes Burns as a trout and stream symbolize a carefree life ruined by love. The speaker recalls youth, a shaded thorn, and a cliff, then laments a blighted spring and the wakeful lark as morning rises while sorrow takes hold. The pool of nature mirrors a heart ensnared by enchanting, unlucky love.
Prose and Verse Snippets From A Late-19th Century Paper

A London correspondent recounts a curate’s water-chase horse mishap
A London correspondent describes a High Church curate who tried to force a horse into the sea after the animal balked at water. The rider, dubbed the male Godiva, rode through the town’s main street in surprise and horror, and the curate reportedly did not officiate the next Sunday. The note then surveys U.S. presidents’ lifespans, comparing averages before and after a certain point, and ends with a Plutarch quote on courage.
