Weathered garret musings and urban miscellany
A chaotic collage of clipped vignettes from newspapers. It threads poetic musings on sparrows and weather with anecdotes about barbers, heiresses, and a flood prophecy. Includes notes on a confession of hotel liability, a gas-well accident near Indianapolis, and flirtations with fashion and wealth in late 19th century society.
