Thurston, Ernest Temple: The Garden Of Resurrection. v1. 20 May 2016
Ernest Temple Thurston (September 23, 1879 – March 19, 1933) was an Anglo-Irish poet, playwright and author.
Extract By the looks of him — the tail-coat, the bowler hat, the little leather hand-bag— he was an artisan. You know that game of placing people. I put him down as an electrician. He had been attending to a job up West. He was returning to the premises of his firm in Bond Street. All this, of course, was surmise. But of one thing I was certain. He had no business to be walking through the Park. He ought to have been on a ’bus, or in the Underground Railway, speeding back to save his firm’s most precious time, ready to start forth once more upon his firm’s most urgent errands. Instead of this — it was the first day of spring — he was walking through the Park and I was envying him. I envied the narcissus in his coat. Even the very tune he was humming touched a sense of covetousness in my heart This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
