- Note Relating to Cather
In an 1895 Courier article, Cather writes in an essay on Poe: "The sun comes forth and many reptiles spawn,/ He sets and each ephemeral insect then/ Is gathered unto death without a dawn,/ And the immortal stars awake again" (XXIX, line 253-6).
In an 1898 Courier article, Cather quotes "that unrest which men miscall delight," from stanza 40, in a piece on the young runaway Adelaide Mould, daughter of the comic opera star Marion Manola.
