INSPIRATION AT ODD TIMES
How LonefelIow Wrote, "Wreck of the
Hesperus"-Rossini Composed
Music in Bed.

Longfellow's "Wreck Of the Hespe-
rus" came to him as he was sitting by
his fireside, the night after q violent
storm. He went 10 bed, but could not
sleep; the HesperuS would not be de-
MED and as he lay the verses flowed
on without let or hindrance until the
Poem was completed.
One at least OF ROssini's splendid
pieces Of music was composed in bed.
1t was when he was young, poor and
unknown. and lived in wretched quar-
ters. After writing a duet the COM
poser allowed his manuscripts TO slip
off the sheets and fall under the bed,
and moreover he believed it would be
unlucky to pick the sheets up; so he
went to work to rewrite the duet. To
his disgust he could not remember it.
1t was therefore necessary to write q
new one. This he had finished when
a friend entered.
"Try that" said the composer, "and
tell me what you think Of it," The
verdict was favorable.
"Now," said Rossini, "look under the
veG, You'll find another duet there.
Try that, too"
The friend did so, and declared the
original composition was much the bet
ter. 1t Is included in his works to-
day
