He who maketh melody
For them tripping merrily,
Told it me.
There are fairies; verily,
There are fairies.

From a photograph by Hesse, 1920

Madison Cawein was born in Louisville in a house that stood
opposite the Court House, and near Fifth Street. On its site now
stands a brick building three stories high with a width of four windows.

Madison Cawein

From a photograph by Fred W. Cawein, 1894

When Cawein was nine years of age his parents moved to Rock
Springs, a resort east of Louisville, near Brownsboro, on a hill over-
looking the South Foi k of Harrod's Creek. Many years later the poet
said, "There for the first time I came in contact with wild nature."

A Picturography

From a photograph by Otto A. Rothert, 1920.

The Rock Springs Hotel was managed by Cawein's father in i874
and I875. Nothing remains of this once well-known resort except an
old stone milk house from which there flows, now as then, a clear
water spring. The poet often returned to the Rock Springs country.

rrom a photograph by Utto A. notherr, 19Z0

Cawein was in his eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth years when
his parents lived in a cottage on the Knobs, near New Albany, In-
diana. "Here I formed my great love for nature," said the poet in his
comments on his youth. In i879 the Caweins returned to Louisville.

A Picturography

From a photograph by Hesse, 1920

The Cawein cottage on the Knobs was in the center of a pano-
rama of beautiful landscapes. On the Kentucky side, in the dim
distance, can be seen Iroquois Park and Kenwood Hill. In later
years the poet spent much time on these two hills near Louisville.

In i886 the Louisville Male High Shool Building, Ninth and
Chestnut streets, appeared very much as it had many years before
Madison Cawein's school days. When Cawein attended this school
it represented the academic department of the University of Louisville.

Madison Cawein

From a photograph by Fred W. Cawein, about 1890

Cawein lived on the south side of High Avenue, near Thirteenth
Street, from i882 to March I886. The house was torn down many
years ago. A little more than the front is shown on the extreme right.

A Picturography

From a photograph by Hesse, 1920

Cawein made his home with his parents at the south-east corner of
Nineteenth and Market streets from i886 until June, 1903, when he was
married. He wrote nineteen of his books while living in this house.

Madison Cawein

From a photograph by Hesse, 1920

In I887, and for about six years thereafter, Cawein was a cashier
in the Newmarket pool room, on Third Street, where betting on horse
races was the business transacted. The building is now occupied by
the Caxton Printing Company, indicated by the swinging sign.

A Picturography

From a photograph by Hesse, 1920

Cawein's first book, Blooms of the Berry, was printed in October,
i887, by John P. Morton Company, Main Street, which published
eleven of his thirty-six volumes, and, among other books, twenty-nine
of the Filson Club Publications-including this volume, Number 30.

From a water color by Fred W. Cawein, 1896

During his high school years, and for many years thereafter,
Cawein often returned to the Brownsboro country where he was the
guest of the Babbits, whose old farm and home are near Rock Springs.
24

A Picturography

From a water color by Wm. C. Cawein, 1893

In 1914, Cawein wrote: "The old water mill [Babbit's Mill] in the
Valley of Rock Springs has played an important part in my poems
of this locality, which I have celebrated in verse now for thirty years."

Madison Cawein

From a photograph by Fred W. Cawein, 1894

Sometimes Cawein wandered alone through the beech groves,
over the fields, and along the streams in the Brownsboro country,
and sometimes he was accompanied by the Babbits and other friends.

A Picturography

From a photograph by Fred W. Cawein, 1894

This picturesque old home near Brownsboro, and many other
old homes and human haunts elsewhere, appealed to Cawein no less
than did the forests and fields and the hills and the hollows.

Madison Cawein

From a photograph by Hesse, 1920

Cawein made many pilgrimages to the Indiana Knobs, near New
Albany, where he had spent three years of his boyhood on a farm.

WIN' -'

At times Cawein left Kentucky for his health or to promote his
art; but no place appealed to him as did the country around Louisville.
29

Madison Cawein

From a water color by Fred W. Cawein, 1893

From i89i to 1903 the poet's father owned a small farm near
Jeffersontown and about twelve miles from Louisville. Its principal
features were an orchard, a vineyard and a garden. The poet often
visited the place, although the Caweins never used it as a home.
The largest building was an old barn, "low, swallow-swept and gray."

A Picturography

From a photograph by Fred W. Cawein, 1900

The poet in his study. Cawein lived at Nineteenth and Market
streets during the first seventeen years of his literary career. Shortly
after publishing his first poems he was encouraged by the Louisville
press. His works attracted the attention of eminent critics in the
East and in England, and he soon gaincd an international reputation.

What is now known as the Cawein Walk was, in Cawein's time,
and still is, a very secluded path in Iroquois Park. Its old stone
steps were one of the poet's favorite "solitary places" for writing.

A Picturography

From a photograph by Hesse, 1920

Lying just beyond the southern end of the Cawein Walk is The
Bowl, one of many beautiful scenes in Iroquois Park. This large,
natural park-also known as Jacob Park-was an Elysium for Cawein.

Froin an oil painting by Paul A. Plaschke, 1919

"The Enchanted Tree," was painted in memory of Cawein who fre-
quently lingered under this old sycamore on Silver Creek, near New
Albany and the Silvcr Hills. For him it was anothcr haunt of Pan.

A Picturography

From an oil painting by J. Bernhard Alberts, 1918
Cawein suggested to his friend J. Bernhard Alberts, in November,
1914: "If you'll paint a picture showing a faery wearing a necklace
of dewdrops on a gossamer thread, I'll write a poem on it." Cawein
died a few weeks later. In i9i8 the artist painted "The Gossamer
Thread," inspired by the Poet of the Fairies, and the Poet for Poets.

That make June of December
And hold me heart and brain

That into knowledge brought me
And bade me drink my fill

poems; about 15oo are distinct originals and about 1200 are either
unchanged reprints or changed versions. His original versions com-
prise the greater part of twenty-five books. The Poems of Madison
Cawein. in five large volumes, is a Compilation of his poems-in the
original or in a new version-written before 1907. Six books consist
