  1. I’ll sing a song of Glasgow town,
    That stands on either side
    The river that was once so fair,
    The much insulted Clyde…

    —Marion Bernstein, “A Song of Glasgow Town”

    And plain needlework, hats and caps, and dressmaking…

    You are an orphaned young, late 19th century American woman with a strong vision for yourself, you head to Europe, where you attempt to avoid the matchmaking of various female friends, and the aggressive courtship of various men; you receive an unexpected boon, but the stronger you get, the more misery comes too.

    A sacredness of love and death
    Dwells in thy noise and smoky breath.
