Edward Gorey - Mr Earbrass was virtually asleep when several lines of verse...

Mr Earbrass was virtually asleep when several lines of verse passed through his mind and left it hopelessly awake. Here was the perfect epigraph for TUH: A horrid?monster has been [something] delay'dBy your/their indiff'rence in the dank brown shadeBelow the garden.. His mind's eye sees them quoted on the bottom third of a right-hand page in a (possibly) olive-bound book he read at least five years ago. When he does find them, it will be a great nuisance if no clue is given to their authorship.
