From 1923 to 1931 he was Poet Laureate of Oregon. Markham's most famous poem, The Man with the Hoe, which accented laborers' hardships, was first presented at a public poetry reading in 1898. His main inspiration was a French painting of the same name (in French, L'homme à la houe) by Jean-François Millet. Markham's poem was published, and it became quite popular very soon. In New York, he gave many lectures to labor groups. These happened as often as his poetry readings. Throughout Markham's later life, many readers viewed him as an important voice in American poetry, a position signified by honors such as his election in 1908 to the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Despite his numerous accolades, however, none of his later books achieved the success of the first two. American etiquette expert Amy Vanderbilt has said that Markham's single verse poem Circles of Love was written while Markham was a guest at her family home on Staten Island. Félicité Robert de La Mennais (or Lamennais, 1782 1854) was a French Catholic priest, philosopher and political theorist. He was one of the most influential intellectuals of Restoration France. Lamennais is also considered the forerunner of both liberal Catholicism and Modernism. Early (if not first?) English Translation of La Mennais Words of a Believer. Inscribed by Markham + ephemera.
