“Death of Chatterton” by Henry Wallis
consumed by the feather-pen fire
antithetical phoenix
destroyed in his very creations
accursed immolation by libertine ethos
deranged in a beautiful suicide
posthumous poetry
sewn with audacity
sparking the timidly well-mannered
hearts of the book-in-hand world
From my book Bohemian Scents
fine job, Paul
g.r.
