Excerpt from Rosaline Fay: A Southern IdylRun, 0 ye maidens whose lovers have perished, and run, 0 ye mothers! Whose husbands are dead!Fly, little children, whose fathers and brothers are sleeping the sleep that the swift bullet brought!Speed away! Speed away! Speed while ye can or may! Fever, the grim Yellow Fever has come.Spectre of Evil! 0 Grim Yellow Fever! Away with your ominous vomit of black!Off with your jaundicing, skeleton fingers! Away with the glare that delirium brings!War, with his sabres and bullets and battles, took pity on women and children at least!Heartless One! Grim Sulphur Devil, I call you, O dread Yellow Fever! No pity have you!Stretching his arms like a skeleton demon, he held the lone mother close, close to his breast.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
