Death & Dying
Mourn here for one Bruner, called Elwood.
From Black Beetles in Amber (1892)
Death & Dying
Mourn here for one Bruner, called Elwood.
He doesn't--he never did--smell good
To noses of critics and scholars.
If now he'd an office to sell could
He sell it? O, no--where (in Hell) could
He find a cool four hundred dollars?
