On March 3, 1906, Vachel Lindsay left New York City on a boat to Florida. He planned to walk all the way from Jacksonville, Florida to his parent's home in Springfield with nothing more than a letter of recommendation from the YMCA and some printed copies of The Tree of Laughing Bells bound in red covers.It was the start of his career as a tramp, which fueled his best writing over the years. He would walk across the countryside by day and toward evening would seek the hospitality of strangers, "trading rhymes for bread." To Lindsay, these encounters evoked the spirit of Christ.
THE TRAMP'S EXCUSE
My Goddess is the road.
Behold her wings outspread,
Her robe of sunny floss
And the stars about her head.
I am her spider-slave,
Too frail to aid her fame.
I spin an endless thread
In her embroidery frame.
The framework is the Town,
The web, a coil of friends -
Endless it seems, and yet
I know when Winter ends,
The road will be my bride
The road will set me free:
Strangers with magic bread
Will make a man of me.

louis vuitton handbag marries modest capacity and functionality. Firstly, the louis bag is made from endurable Monogram Denim canvas and not-so-easy-to-stain micro fiber lining. louis bags is sized at 15.7" x 9.4" x 3.3", an ideal capacity to hold all your daily necessities yet not to appear tumid. Secondly, I would like to illustrate its functionality.
If you want to adorn your handbag collection and you do not have even a single piece of louis vuitton wallets , then your handbag collection is definitely incomplete and dull. If you are interesting in enhancing the beauty of your purse collection, then you should have at last few pieces of louis vuitton wallet . Every time louis vuitton replica handbags comes up with its new collection, women go crazy and just want to have each and every bag.
