The Scarlet Gown: Being Verses by a St. Andrews Man

Zusatztext

The Scarlet Gown by R. F. Murray is a collection of poetry about life in the small town of St. Andrews. Murray writes lush odes to various items and figures including a pipe, a crushed hat, the Greek god Artemis, and Algernon Charles Swinburne. Excerpt: "In vain you fervently extol, In vain you puff, your cutty clay. A twelvemonth smoked and black as coal, 'Tis redolent of rank decay And bones of monks long passed away A fragrance I do not admire"
