A Handy Guide for Beggars, Especially Those of the Poetic Fraternity,
by Vachel Lindsay.
True story. In 1906, young poet Vachel Lindsay wanders through a dozen
states, with no money and no baggage, staying with random strangers,
reciting poetry and teaching "The Gospel of Beauty." So, what do you
suppose that was like? Wonder why this book was popular in the 1960s
& '70s?
Part 2.6, "A Mendicant Pilgrimage in the East."
Includes "What the Sexton Said," and "Death, The Devil, and Human Kindness," part 1
Music by Kevin MacLeod.
