Dodd says I cut such high didos in
the last chapter that if I don't vol
plane a little closer the sea level 1 will
disappear in the great nebula of the
constellation Andromeda, whatever
that is.
The last chapter began and ended IN
a carriage where I was with "Jaques"
and 'Rosalind" on the way to the de-
pot after the performance of "As You
Like It" 1t really was a hack, and one
OF the horses came near falling down,
so that me and Jaques and Rosaltnd
had to go to the stable and get anoth-
er horse. Rosalind was very lovely
adjective permitted in such case to a
local preacher in the NJ. e. church,
although maybe my license has been
revoked. am scared to ask.
Rosalind was very comedy. During
the play a boy ran up the grassy en-
bankment and gave Rosalind a half
dozen Easter lilies. She had these in
her lap as she sat in the hack The
glamour (get on the "o-u-r'O of the
play was still around Rosalind. 1 was
thinking, even when one of the hack
horses broke down, of a verse I, even
little Harry, what Albert NJ. William
son says looks like a frog, of a verse
wrote, beginning:
'The lily plant, dark green, is twice
adored;
Not vainiy to the misty life that flies
The dim nighttime she signals Para
TN ivory flowers naddening hoard
And yield to pollen-laden lovers. Lord,
The most High God, loves her; 9TH
erwise
Her holy lily were not His disguise
AS beautiful as midnight or a sword"
Twice worshipped also is my sweet
heart; she,
Disguised in white, the lily of the
world
Blooms in this painless universal blur
Immortality alluring! Turing me
am hurrying through the twilight
hunting her."
That is also the ending of the verse.
l was thinking of the verse and notice
ing the lilies which she had arranged
in her arms in Rosalind manner, and
wondering If she was the Lily of the
World. At this moment the hack horse
fell down and Spontaneously I got a
wireless from Mrs. Harry Floyd that
Rosalind was certainly not said Lily of
the World.
Really, I want to get out Of that
hack and get back to the Legislature,
but 1t is difficult so to do. Funny,
amt it, that we roar and squall about
the Legislature, and this and that be-
ing Heaven, and then some Rosalind
or Celia shows up in the forest of
Arden and we re-discover that there
is no Paradise except where Eve is.
My uncle Walt Whitman tells in his
Leaves Of Grass" of a trip he took
to New York City to study in the
great libraries all about Assyria and
the Sphinx and the teachings Of
Zoroaster and Hannogobalus; also to
profoundly gaze at the paintings by
tropolitan Art Gallery. He testifles
that he bought a couple Of books by
Plato and Plotinus and a screed by
NebuchadneZZar; also a translation of
the code of Hammurabi; that six years
passed and all he remembered Of his
educational jaunt in Manhattan was a
woman who put an arm casually
around his, Waits neck.
Help! Police! Habeas Corpus!
Certioraril Writs of Replevin! Judge
Malone! Judge Parkhill! got me out
of that hack on its way to the depot!
Hello, w. c. Hodges! Frank Winthrop!
John L. Belius! sue me out a Writ of
Habeas Scorpioni Lay against the
hack driver a writ Of River Junction!
Get me out of this hack. A spell is on
me. The lilies and the glory and the
dream of one Shakespeare have me
fastened.
About six years from now about all
I will remember, as I sit in the halls of
Congress Just after having snubOed
Bill Ellis and Ed Love by having the
Sergeant at Arms drag them out OF
the hall, on the ground that they are
anarchists trying to pick an acquaint-
ance with me, as / sit there having
pages hop about and bring me ice wa
ter, and addressing seed to the dear
registered voters. About all 1 will re-
member about Tallahassee will be half
a dozen Easter lilies and a comely lady
holding the lilies in her arms as
though she were the frontisptece Of the
April number Of Scribners Maya
zine
I wonder If the Apalachicola Times
is read In Tampa. Poor McNamee! but
I am ruthless! here goes: Mack told
me that q certain lady who happened
in Tallahassee for a week or two ana
was in attendance upon the legislature
lobbying for State Uniformity of
school books, and Jacksonville Sunday
Baseball, I believe-that this lady was
the brightest woman in Florida. He
did not even say except six" He
did not leave the question, either, to
Judge W. II. Price. 1 wrote a verse
to her which l am trying to get the
Mobile Register to publish. Here is
the verse:
ITO Miss Dzialynski.
Sidon, Damascus. Tyre, Bel,
Jerusalem and Israel,
And names of many Jewish bard
