(To Henrik Ibsen)

 

O’ Hell!…to step aside, to slink along the new-found, unstrolled alley road and leave behind a heavy, long borne load— Who would not, grinning, breathe a sigh of song? InDeed, to risk the chances, Right or Wrong, to journey off the main paths, tippy-toed, and dare the dirty sidetracks, blithely rowed by dank needles, gross junk,—who, but one strong? Our dear protagonist has found himself— entangled—in most embarrassing affairs.— The Many chuck stones to shatter his glass words—(Truths he’s thrown into the gaping gulf of public opinion—)adorning now his airs with the plumes of the aristocratic ass!
