The life goes out, how many things result Fate drops a stone, and to the utmost shores The circles spread. Now, such a book were endless, If every circle, riffle should be traced Of any life and so of Elenor Murray, Whose life was humble and whose death was tragic. And yet behold the riffles spread, the lives That are affected, and the secrets gained Of lives she never knew of, as for that. For even the world could not contain the books That should be written, if all deeds were traced, Effects, results, gains, losses, of her life, And of her death. Concretely said, in brief, A man and woman have produced this child What was the child s pre-natal circumstance How did her birth affect the father, mother What did their friends, oldwomen, relatives Take from the child in feeling, joy or pain to DOMESDAY BOOK What of her childhood friends, her days at school, Her teachers, girlhood sweethearts, lovers later, When she became a woman What of these And what of those who got effects because They knew this Elenor Murray Read how the human secrets are exposed In many lives because she died not all Then she dies. Lives, by her death affected, written here. The reader may trace out such other riffles As come to him this book must have an end.

But to return To Elenor Murray, I have made a book Called Domesday Book, a census spiritual Taken of our America, or in part Taken, not wholly taken, it may be. For William Merival, the coroner, Who probed the death of Elenor Murray goes As far as may be, and beyond his power, In diagnosis of America, While finding out the cause of death. In short Becomes a William the Conqueror that way In making up a Domesday Book for us. ... Of this a little later... |
