I’ve been working on getting as much Clouston into DP and PG as I can, ever since I worked on Flowers from a Persian Garden and Other Papers. It’s hard going, though. Many of his books were self-published in small runs, so when they come on the market they can be expensive. Others have been reprinted by companies I would rather not patronize. I was lucky to find this one at a reputable online bookseller.
When this makes it to PG, it’ll be a great source for your “random quotes” file for your .sig
