William James says that in times of trauma and crisis a door is opened to a place where facts and apparitions mix.
When I was a visiting poet at Temple, I encountered two huge volumes called Melville’s Marginalia. Its editor, Wilson Walker Cowen, had collected and printed all the passages Melville had marked in his personal library. At first glance, this alphabetically arranged collection of quotations from numerous authors resembled a giant Charles Olson poem. The preface said Cowen died young. All this immense labor had been for his graduate- student degree. I thought of the pale usher and the sub-sub-librarian in Moby-Dick. Then, as I was going over the material, I came upon Melville’s notes in his copy of the Irish poet James Clarence Mangan’s collected works. I remembered singing Mangan’s “Róisín Dubh” with the Reddins. I looked into Mangan’s life and work, and by following Mangan—God! I couldn’t believe it—I found that he may have been a source for the character of Bartleby.
Earlier, when I was writing the poems that would become Frame Structures, I stumbled on Longfellow’s wife Frances Appleton, who died by fire in their home library. She was trying to paste locks of her children’s hair into an album, using a candle to melt the wax, when a spark fell on her dress. His beard you see in the famous photograph was grown to cover the scars on his face, which was badly burned when he tried to save her. The Longfellow House is now a National Historic Site, and when I took the tour I asked the guide which was the room she burned in. He brushed the question aside as if such a thing had never happened. It doesn’t fit the sunny portrait of the author they are hired to exhibit.
In the same way, I came upon Jonathan Edwards’s sister Hannah by chance when I slipped her “private writings” out of a folder in the Beinecke Reading Room at Yale.
I don’t want to be so arrogant as to say these are recoveries. Maybe certain people find me.

from My Emily Dickinson
When I love a thing I want it and I try to get it. Abstraction of the particular from
the universal is the entrance into evil. Love, a binding force, is both envy and
emulation. HE (the Puritan God) is a realm of mystery and will always remain
unknowable, authoritarian, unpredictable. Between revealed will and secret will
Love has been torn in two.

At the center, the “Square of the Appalling Mobile.” Saturation of the market with a product causes the product’s market value to fall: thus, as they explored the Sinister Quarter, children would learn not to fear the anguishing occasions of life, but to be amused by them.

Folklore of fossil echinoderms
Some Cretaceous echinoids, notably Micraster (Fig. 2), Echinocorys (Fig. 3) and Conulus (Fig.
4), have been given the name ‘Shepherd’s crowns’ in English folklore.
The five rays converging on the apex of the fossil do indeed resemble
the ribs of a crown. According to Bassett (1982), shepherds may have
come across these fossils, eroded from the underlying chalk, while
caring for their sheep on the downlands of southern England.
St Peter’s Church (Fig. 5) in the small
Hampshire village of Linkenholt is remarkable for the incorporation of
Chalk echinoids into the walls. On the north side of this church, a tall
window is capped by a square arch containing 20 flint echinoids (Fig.
6), while a larger window on the south side has a rounded arch inset
with 25 similar Shepherd’s crowns (Fig. 7). These echinoids were
apparently recycled into the fabric of this small Victorian church from
its thirteenth century predecessor, thus preserving a legacy of the
pagan belief that they had the power to ward off the Devil (McNamara,
2011).
