About me lounged the great literarians of the world. Reposing' in the cow fodder was Homer, playing' his mouth organg yonder by the cider press Longfellow' was making' faces at the hired girlg down beside the horse barn Shakes- peare was digging' grubsg still farther down the lane came Browning' with a double-barrelled shot gun over his shoulder, singing Maggie, Maggie, the Cows Are in the Cloverf' and lastly I could just see Shelley and Keats playing' tiddle-de-Winks out in the orchard, and Hank Long'- fellow said Jane Austin was in the pantry paring her corns.
