‘In making my first appearance before the public, who have treated me well- in fact I may say I am as comfortable now as I was uncomfortable before. I must now bid my kind readers adieu.’
-Joseph Merrick from The Autobiography Of Joseph Merrick (from The True History Of The Elephant Man – Michael Howell and Peter Ford)
Joseph’s Favourite Verse:
‘Was I so tall, could reach the pole
Or grasp the ocean with a span
I would be measured by the soul
The mind’s the standard of the man’
