Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Leaves From an Invalid's Journal: And Poems
I had to live, that therefore I might work And being but poor, I was constrained, for life, To work with one hand for the booksellers, While working with the other for myself And art. Having bread, For just so many days, just breathing room For body and verse, I stood up straight and worked My veritable work. I labored on, alone; the wind and dust And sun of the world beat blistering in my face; And hope, now for me, now against me, dragged My Spirits onward.
