Vegetarian, Non - Resistant, Free-Thinker, In Ethics A Christian; Orator Apt At The Rhine-Stone Rhythm Of Ingersoll. Carnivorous, Avenger, Believer And Pagan. Continent, Promiscuous, Changeable, Treacherous, Vain, Proud, With The Pride That Makes Struggle A Thing For Laughter; With Heart Cored Out By The Worm Of Theatric Despair. Wearing The Coat Of Indifference To Hide The Shame Of Defeat; I, Child Of The Abolitionist Idealism - A Sort Of Brand In A Birth Of Half-And-Half. What Other Thing Could Happen When I Defended The Patriot Scamps Who Burned The Court House That Spoon River Might Have A New One Than Plead Them Guilty? When Kinsey Keene Drove Through The Card - Board Mask Of My Life With A Spear Of Light, What Could I Do But Slink Away, Like The Beast Of Myself Which I Raised From A Whelp, To A Corner And Growl? The Pyramid Of My Life Was Nought But A Dune, Barren And Formless, Spoiled At Last By The Storm.
