Life and works
Isaac Rieman Baxley was born in
He commenced to write very early, and "no amount of interference could, at any time, have prevented him from pursuing an action over which he had no abiding control." His opinion of poetry is that "the old issues, customs and manners therein will soon resign themselves to the new movements and aspirations discerned in all spiritual things, and that the Genius of Poetry is ever the furthest sighted in all human eyes; and that her lips are already beginning to open, singing the things she sees. There is no death to Poetry— but those who can not as yet see whither she is moving have said so— but she does not listen to what they say; they, in time, will listen to her again and again."[4]
Notes
- ^ Gale Biography and Genealogy Master Index cites two different dates of demise - 1920 and 1930. Both sources have publication dates prior to this time, making the information entirely questionable. His last works seem to have been published in the early 1920s
