The Draftsmans Burden — Patent No. 314559 Table_of_Elements a steel-cage triangle that scandalized

a steel-cage triangle that scandalized 1902 and gave loiterers an excuse to linger at Twenty-Third Street

with the keeper's hexagonal cottage perched mid-air like a lantern in a cage

The plate renders the Moon less as a world than as a wreckage — a selenographic elegy for some catastrophe older than scripture

and the original plate annotations are preserved in the print

patient hunger of saltwater
