committing to memory the appearance
of the big letters on the placards stuck
up on the hordings by the pit he wrote
and ciphered on the trap door in the
intervals when no wagon was passing
through, and then taught himself
grammar; and without any education
of any kind, by slow degrees and some
keen native instinct, he found out ana
became acquainted with masterpieces
of literature. Then he commenced to
write and compose lyrics and the day
came when the pitman-poet numbered
