Why not get up a book of your own, a collection of 'outlines' illustrative of everybody's poems, which would stand well on its own feet and make a circle for itself?
Think of _that_ rather.

For my part, there's nothing to be done with me, as I said; that is, there's nothing to be done with my publishers, who just do as they like with my books, and don't like to do much good for _me_ with them, whatever they may do for themselves.

I am misanthropical in respect to the booksellers.

They manage one as they please, and not at all to please one.

I have no more to say to the fate of my books than you have--and not much more to pocket.
