      [Mark] Twain once wrote of the similarity between himself and Adam disparadised. Jenny Stevens Boardman, the daughter of the old Hannibal jeweler, had reminisced to him about the old days in their town, and to her he replied: "You have spirited me back to a vanished world and the companionship of phantoms ... in thinking of it, dreaming over it, I have seemed like some banished Adam who is revisiting his half-forgotten Paradise and wondering how the arid outside would could ever have seemed green and fair to him."

      Now everything I had or sought, I've lost; / Upon a glimpse, I am disparadised [footnote: fallen from grace and happiness]. / So: go defiant to the nether world, / And darreign Lucifer's dread minions to / Worse torment than thou wouldst do thyself.
