Shadow Of A Man Observed In Whitechapel, London, England, Autumn, 1888

Of strange delusions he is quite a frantic gripper.

His rages, that are merely tempests in teapots,

remind me of the ranted ravings Jack the Ripper

has written---the most demondriven of havenots.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is based on the first book I ever read in full (from about 9pm to 5am the next morning, September 10-11, 1976) at college:  Tom Cullen's magnificent monograph, When London Walked In Terror.
