But I try to steal other moments. Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and cup of tea before the craziness begins. Other times, I'll take a quick walk on the beach. You can find peace in a few minutes. ~Cindy Crawford
Charles Swain, "the Manchester Poet," was born in Manchester and educated at a school run by the Unitarian minister William Johns. At the age of fifteen he was employed as a clerk in a dye-house. After 1830 he was employed by an engraving and lithography firm in Manchester. Throughout his long life he devoted himself to literary pursuits, contributing to the Manchester Iris, a literary magazine, and publishing in many of the annuals. Swain was awarded a civil list pension in 1856. Find out more here: http://spenserians.cath.vt.edu/AuthorRecord.php?&method=GET&recordid=33506
