Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Echoes of Other Days Laura Catherine Redden Searing, known to the literary world as "Howard Glyndon," was gifted at birth with the soul of a poet. Life laid an apparent handicap upon her in early childhood when depriving her of her hearing; but, instead of allowing that misfortune to hamper her progress, she verily made it a blessing. Living as it were in a world of silence, she voiced her thoughts with poetic vision, gladdeing the hearts of those in sorrow, uplifting the weary and discouraged, and holding aloft the beacon light to light others on to success, exemplifying to the world that earnest endeavor is not in vain. Born in Somerset County, Maryland, February 9, 1840, she traces her lineage through her maternal grandfather to Sir William Waller, one of the original proprietors of Mary land, and farther back to Edmund Waller, the celebrated wit and poet of the days of Cromwell and the Restoration. Her ancestry is in close collateral line with that of the "great and good John Hampton," and her poetical inspiration and patriotic fervor came to her from direct sources. In early childhood her parents moved to Missouri, and it was while very young that she was afflicted with the illness which darkened her life. Her own account of that period follows, and tells its tragic story with a characteristic directness. "How I Learned To Talk Again." Losing the Voice in Childhood and Recovering It in Womanhood - An Articulation School - The Experience of "Howard Glyndon." (Written for the Evening Star, April 19, 1884.) I became deaf suddenly when about eleven years old from acute disease, or rather from a complication of acute diseases. I had up to that time, with the exception of an attack of ague in the preceding fall, been accounted an unusually healthy child, not having been confined to my bed by any sickness since infancy.
