“We that write & print have all our books predestinated—& and for me, I shall write such things as the Great Publisher of Mankind ordained ages before he published “The World”Mthis planet, I mean—not the Literary Globe.”

The gifts she looks from me are packed and locked
Up in my heart, which I have given already,
But not delivered.”
