played the flute in an orchestra to strengthen his lungs and help support his family? One of his most beautiful poems, "Sunrise," he wrote when he was dying of tuberculosis and had a temperature of 104. Judging from Lanier's picture, what is your impression of him?

In one of his dialect poems, "Thar's More in the Man than Thar is in the Land," Lanier tells the story of a Georgia farmer who lived in a county of red hills and stones and raised only cotton. He owned about a thousand acres of land, but his mules were “skin and bones," his hogs thin, and his fences rotten. Tiring of poor land, cockle-burs, and thistles, the farmer decided to move to Texas, where the land was "so rich that cotton would sprout by the time you could plant it."

He sold his farm to a man by the name of Brown, at a dollar and a half an acre. Brown moved out to the old Jones' farm, and he rolled up his breeches and bared his arm." He picked up the rocks, dug up the roots, and plowed down the land, sowing it in corn and wheat.

After spending five years in Texas, Jones returned to Georgia on foot, looking for employment. Brown took him in and gave him dinner smoking-hot. Before Jones took his departure, however, Brown remarked to him, whether the land was rich or poor, thar was more in the man than thar was in the land."

Write this story in your own words, adding such detail of dialogue and incident as will make it interesting. Be careful to use correct verb-forms, especially past tenses.
