I just discovered a much larger number of James works than the last time I checked. I can't believe it took me so long to discover this. (Admittedly, I've not been keeping up with this thread as I probably should have.) Thank you, Logos! :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_upQuote:

Corinna wakes. A dreadful sight!
Behold the ruins of the night!
A wicked rat her plaster stole,
Half eat, and dragg'd it to his hole.
The crystal eye, alas! was miss'd;
And puss had on her plumpers p--st,
A pigeon pick'd her issue-pease:
And Shock her tresses fill'd with fleas.

" .... when suddenly there stood on the threshold of the little chamber, as though she had just emerged from its depth, a tiny woman-form, as perfect in shape as if she had been a small Greek statuette roused to life and motion. Her dress was of a kind that could never grow old-fashioned, because it was simply natural: a robe plaited in a band around the neck, and confined by a belt about the waist, descended to her feet. It was only afterwards, however, that I took notice of her dress, although my surprise was by no means of so overpowering a degree as such an apparition might naturally be expected to excite. Seeing, however, as I suppose, some astonishment in my countenance, she came forward within a yard of me, and said, in a voice that strangely recalled a sensation of twilight, and reedy river banks, and a low wind, even in this deathly room:--
"Anodos, you never saw such a little creature before, did you?"
"No," said I; "and indeed I hardly believe I do now."
"Ah! that is always the way with you men; you believe nothing the first time; and it is foolish enough to let mere repetition convince you of what you consider in itself unbelievable. I am not going to argue with you, however, but to grant you a wish."
Many of his poems have been added including "A Hidden Life", "The Homeless Ghost", "Abu Midjan", "A Book Of Dreams", "A Memorial of Africa", "Better Things", "Light", "If I Were A Monk", "The Lost Soul", "A Dream Within A Dream", "A Story of the Sea Shore", "The Child-Mother", "Love's Ordeal", "A Prayer for the Past", "My Room", "Death and Birth", "Lessons for a Child", "The Mother Mary", "The Woman That Cried in the Crowd", "The Syrophenician Woman", "Pilate's Wife", and "Mary Magdalene".
