Excerpt from Brushland
Thoughts and talk take a turn; from today to a long-ago yesterday. See says my publisher, pick ing up one of the knotty sticks and poking with it among the coals, a little imagination, a wood fire and something to punch it with, and 10, is reproduced upon the hearth a picture that hangs above it.
At a cost only, I suggest, of two charred sticks Theocritus peering out from Syracuse into Philadelphia through a piece of charcoal.
