Richards, Laura Elizabeth Howe: Marie. v1. 3 Jul 2014
Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards (February 27, 1850 – January 14, 1943) was an American writer. She born in Boston, Massachusetts, to a high-profile family. During her life, she wrote over 90 books, including children's, biographies, poetry, and others. A well-known children's poem for which she is noted is the literary nonsense verse Eletelephony.
Excerpt The baby woke and stirred. The tiny hand was outstretched and touched its father’s hand, and a thrill ran through him from head to foot, softening the hard grain, melting, changing the fibre of his being. The husk that in those lonely hours in the forest had been loosened, broken, now fell away from him, and a new man knelt by the white bed, silent, gazing from child to wife with eyes more eloquent than any words could be. The baby’s hand rested in his, and Marie laid her own over it; and Abby Rock rose and went away, closing the door softly after her.
