Excerpt from Francis Thompson
This old fragment of Spanish verse forced itself into my mind with the dull insistence of a bell tolling in a populous street, when I received a message yesterday that Francis Thompson's life of pain was over. No one, surely, ever had so sad a life as he, so remote from all that makes the joy of life, lawful or unlawful - no one, at least, for whom the bells of fame have been asked to toll - not Keats, not Chatterton, not Poe! Yet toll they will for him, and with good cause, to~morrow, for a spirit of the very elect among us, a poet among our poets has passed away.
