George Arnold

"

Born on June 24, 1834, in New York City, George Arnold spent just over three decades as a writer and poet working in the English language before his death in November 1865.

Arnold was an American writer and poet, a citizen of the United States who produced work in English throughout his brief career. He was born in New York City in 1834 and died on November 9, 1865, in Monmouth County. His life spanned only thirty-one years, yet his name and dates were considered significant enough to warrant a formal entry in the Library of Congress Name Authority records, where he appears as "Arnold, George, 1834-1865." That institutional record remains one of the clearest markers of his place within the documented history of American letters.

O sweet September, thy first breezes bring The dry leaf’s rustle and the squirrel’s laughter, The cool fresh air whence health and vigor spring And promise of exceeding joy hereafter.

Here with my beer I sit, while golden moments flit: alas! They pass unheeded by: and as they fly, I, being dry, sit idly sipping here, my beer.
