Its glittering towers emblazoned the blue, Its walls were of burnished gold, Which up from the caverns of ocean grew, Where pearls lay aslee p in the cold. Its windows were gems with the glint and the gleam Of the sun and the moon and the stars, Like the eyes of a god in a Brahmin's dream Of the land of the deodars. It stood as the. work of a master, alone, Whose marvelous genius had played The music of heaven in mortar and stone With the tools of his earthly trade. I bu ilded a castle in the air, , From its base to its turret crown ; I stretched forth my hand to touch it there And the whole darn thing fell down. W. . T . T. 138 . J.C.

Authors, American--Kentucky. Horses--Breeding--Kentucky. Description An account of the resource The John Wilson Townsend Papers consist of letters received by Townsend which reflect literary, business, and personal concerns. The bulk of the materials consist of letters received by Townsend, as wells as photographs, book reviews, manuscripts and various other items about Kentucky literary figures. These include, but are not limited to, James Lane Allen, Madison Cawein, Irvin S. Cobb, Willard R. Jillson, Harriette Simpson Arnow, Samuel M. Wilson, Paul Sawyier, Otto A. Rothert, and Jesse Stuart. The letters offer insights into authors that might not otherwise be found, as well as discussions of their works and biographical information. Many letters simply talk about sending or receiving autographed copies of books. Some letters were not written to Townsend, but seem to have been collected by him instead. In addition there are also letters concerning horses, as Townsend raised Thoroughbreds for years while living at Graceland Farm.<br /><br />Only a portion of this collection has been digitized.
