Amazon: Handy Guide for Beggars, Especially Those of the Poetic Fraternity (Paperbound)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 2.13, "A Mendicant Pilgrimage in the East."  Includes "The Old Gentleman with the Lantern," part 8, and "That Men Might See Again the Angel Throng."And that's the end of the book.  Now I'll be sad for a while, I think.  And then find another book.  What adventure awaits?  "God help us to be brave."Music by Kevin MacLeod.
