Manuscript Found in a Bottle, Harry Clarke, 1923.

“The colossal waters rear their heads above us like demons of the deep.”

‘MS. Found in a Bottle’ is an 1833 short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The plot follows an unnamed narrator at sea who finds himself in a series of harrowing circumstances. As he nears his own disastrous death while his ship drives ever southward, he writes an “MS.”, or manuscript telling of his adventures which he casts into the sea.

Part of  the illustrations for ‘Tales of Mystery and Imagination’ by Edgar Allan Poe. Published 1933 by Tudor Publishing, New York. See more pictures here.

Always Harry Clarke.

Russian children’s stories make reference to “houses with chicken legs” (Baba Yaga) which were really in reference to raised storehouses known to the Slavs as “izbushka”.

Pictured is a Sami storehouse.

You were carried on your father’s shoulders

marching in Detroit’s picket lines

in the same year you were learning to run

from the word “union”.

That is only half of the reason

I am writing this from another city,

remembering Detroit,

the 12th story window of our hotel room…
