A Recent Letter 20 . Erfena, Treating
Bravely Of Death.
DEAR FRIEND death; too great q
subject to be treated so-indeed, the
greatest subject-and yet I am giving
| you but few random lines, collecteana,
about it-as one writes hurriedly the last
part Of letter to catch the closing mail.
Only trust the lines, especially tho
poetic bits quoted, may leave lingering
odor Of spiritual heroism afterward.
For I am probably fond Of viewing all
the great themes indirectly, and by side
ways and suggestions. Certain music
from wondrous voices or skillful players
then poetic glints still more-put the
soul in rapport with death, or toward it.
