Hi To All, I am looking for any information on a poet named (Jones James Pyatt) he was born sometime in the 1800's author of (The Two Farewells) If anyone has any info on him I would love to hear from you, Here is the poem he wrote, "The Two Farewells Two ships sail on the ocean two watcher's walk the shore, one wrings wild hands, and cries fareweel for evermore One see's with face uplifted sweet homes, and with her eyes her sail beyond the herizon, reflected in the skies By, Jones James Pyatt" Thank you so much, Love, Cerenity [This message has been edited by Cerenity (edited 07-13-2001).] |

I think you mean John James Piatt... John James Piatt (1835-1917) was born at Milton, Indiana, son of famous educator, John Piatt. He entered the journalistic field early in life, and later served as clerk of the House of Representatives, and of the United States Treasury Department. He also filled the position of consul at Cork, Ireland from 1882 to 1894. John James Piatt married Sarah Morgan Bryan, also a poet of note (better known, many would say, than her husband). "A Woman's Poems," "A Voyage to the Unfortunate Isles," "Dramatic Persons and Moods," and "An Enchanted castle," being among her best known works. John James Piatt's best known poems are "Poems by Two Friends" (with W. D. Howells), "Poems in Sunshine and Firelight," and "Idylls and Lyrics of the Ohio Valley." You can find an "image collection" of three of his books here (your poem can be found in "Idyls and lyrics of the Ohio Valley") : http://www.nagasaki-gaigo.ac.jp/ishikawa/amlit/p/piatt19ro.htm |
