Henry A. Clapp


Clinging like a faint odor.	1
Cling to the memory as tenaciously as the fragrance of lavender clings to glove or lace.	2
Dead as Scrooge’s partner.	3
Masterful as the blind instinct that compels the migration of schools of fish.	4
Sound-hearted to the core, like some perfect fruit ripened in a sunny nook of an English garden.	5
Thin as the petal of the cotton blossom.	6
