A fragmented reminiscence piece recalls a feud near Vanderbilt’s farm, a deadly moment on the river, and social critiques. The narrator reflects on assassination, aging manners, and past literary figures in a hazy, era-tinged mood.
A sprawling, era-spanning piece blends social critique with literary flare, weaving Oscar Wilde memories, cultural satire, and ruminations on dress. It contrasts Wilde’s reputation with temperate moral judgments and pivots to practical fashion advice, emphasizing independence of taste and the value of timeless elegance over fleeting trends.
A traveling performer known as a drummer port from New York presents a stage piece titled Lights to a Fillet. The performance, blending religious and erotic imagery, features poetic monologues and dramatic crescendos as the artist wanders themes of devotion, longing, and betrayal. The text reads like an ornate ballad with intermittent refrains and surreal, dreamlike verses.
