Mark Twain left instructions that his memoirs not be published until 100 years after his death. That day was last month and the first volume of his self-reflection will be published in November.In another previously unpublished piece, Twain remembered his daughter who died from meningitis.
"She was a magazine of feelings, & they were of all kinds & of all shades of force; & she was so volatile, as a little child, that sometimes the whole battery came into play in the short compass of a day. She was full of life, full of activity, full of fire, her waking hours were a crowding & hurrying procession of enthusiasms ... Joy, sorrow, anger, remorse, storm, sunshine, rain, darkness - they were all there: They came in a moment, & they were gone as quickly."
