Sinopsis
Excerpt from Eolopoesis American Rejected Addresses
Rumor with her hundred tongues, announced that a mysterious prize, in the form of a castle, wrought from a solid nugget of Californian gold, was to be adjudged to the author of the best poem submitted to the ordeal of your critical eyes. Untrammelled by the confines usually allotted on the occasion of an opening or closing address, the happy candidates were left free as air to select subjects in which they felt themselves most competent to shine.
AS the announcement of a vacant office brings down an avalanche of hungry aspirants, so did the promulgation of this news dart hope, activity, and sunshine into multitudes of desolate garrets. Un numbered pens at once went down into inkhorns, and the Muses got a holocaust of sleepless nights and days. Eyes rolled in fine frenzies, reams of paper were blotted, interlined, and transcribed, and the number of stanzas which the world had to boast underwent a marked statistical augmentation.

Excerpt from Eolopoesis American Rejected Addresses
Gentlemen: -
When the transparent roof of your enchanted castle first invited the sun's rays to descend on its miracles of art and its electrified spectators, it was understood that the votaries of literature, in common with cultivators of the various arts, were about to find shelter in the shadow of your protecting wings. An excitement, perhaps not observed by you, but in truth scarcely paralleled in the history of popular sensations, sprang up among those who cater superfluities for the world's fickle palate. Sculptors, painters, and confectioners; musicians, apothecaries, authors and mousetrap manufacturers, saw their coming glory in your magnificent foreshadowings.
