Providence that universal haven of the odd, the free, and the dissenting -The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
I never can be tied to raw new things, For I first saw the light in an old town, Where from my window huddled roofs sloped down To a quaint harbour rich with visionings. Streets with carved doorways where the sunset beams Flooded old fanlights and small window-panes, And Georgian steeples toppd with gilded vanes – These are the sights that shaped my childhood dreams. -HPL
