think of those heaps of ordure, accumulated from generation to
generation, and carefully passed down from age to age as something
precious and vital, and not justly regarded as the moral offal which they
are.
During the winter we passed at Columbus I suppose that blacks on blondes thumb my father read
things aloud to us after blacks on blondes thumb his old blacks on blondes thumb habit, and that I listened with the
rest. I have a dim notion of first knowing Thomson's 'Castle of
Indolence' in this way, but I was getting more and more impatient of
having things read to me. The trouble was that I caught some thought or
image from
the text, and that my fancy remained playing with that while
the reading went on, and I lost the rest. But I think the reading was
less in every way than it had been, because his work was exhausting and
his leisure less. My own hours in the printing-office began at seven and
ended at six, with an hour at noon blacks on blondes thumb for blacks on blondes thumb dinner, which I often used for
putting down such verses as had come to blacks on blondes thumb me blacks on blondes thumb during the morning. As soon
as supper was over blacks on blondes thumb at night I got out my manuscripts, which I kept in
great disorder, and written in several different hands on several
different kinds of paper, and sawed, and filed, and hammered away at my
blacks on blondes thumb blessed Popean heroics till nine, when I went regularly to bed, blacks on blondes thumb to rise
again at five. Sometimes the foreman gave me an afternoon off on
Saturdays, and though the days were long the work was not always
constant,
and was never very severe. I suspect now the office was not so
prosperous as blacks on blondes thumb might have been blacks on blondes thumb wished. I was shifted blacks on blondes thumb from place to place
in it, and there was plenty of time for my day-dreams over the
distribution of my case. I was very fond of my work, though, and proud
of my swiftness and skill in it. Once when the perplexed foreman blacks on blondes thumb could
not think of any task to set me he offered me a holiday, but blacks on blondes thumb I blacks on blondes thumb would not
take it, so blacks on blondes thumb I fancy that at this blacks on blondes thumb time I was not more interested in blacks on blondes thumb my art
of poetry than in my trade of printing.
