Description
Excerpt from Leaves From the Diary of an Impressionist, 1911: Early Writings
After a romantic though somewhat vague Odyssey of misfortune, Hearn fi nally emerges in Cincinnati at the age of twenty as Old semi-colon,'' a proof-reader and budding journalist by profession, a ''?ame-hearted'' artist in words by aspir ation. His appearance at this time, as a striking bearded portrait shows, was that of a Parisian poet not yet ''arrived''; and that side of his temperament, which later made him style himself, half in irony, half in penitence, ''a vicious, French-hearted scalawag,'' was then, perhaps, most restive.
