Talk:John A. Joyce

Refutes of "laugh and the world laughs with you" statement
Reverted the following edit made by 198.153.62.239: The line "Laugh and the world laughs with you," is by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from her poem, "Solitude". Joyce claimed it, and Wilcox sued. The resulting court case judged that it was not his work. Joyce always claimed the work, and had it inscribed on his grave monument. But he is fairly credited with "There are no pockets in a shroud." Daughter Libby was confined at Saint Elizabeth mental hospital, where she lived out her days. Joyce was Poe's first biographer. Joyce lived for a time with his daughter Florence and husband William Dunkerley in Pasadena, CA, before returning to D.C.
