# Hemans Miscellaneous Poetry 3/To the Same on the Death of her Mother

Follows 'To Miss F. A. L. On her Birthday'
TO THE SAME;
ON THE DEATH OF HER MOTHER.
Say not 'tis fruitless, nature's holy tear, Shed by affection o'er a parent's bier! More blest than dew on Hermon's brow that falls, Each drop to life some latent virtue calls, Awakes some purer hope, ordain'd to rise. By earthly sorrow strengthen'd for the skies; Till the sad heart, whose pangs exalt its love, With its lost treasure, seeks a home—above.
But grief will claim her hour,—and He whose eye Looks pitying down on nature's agony, He, in whose love the righteous calmly sleep, Who bids us hope, forbids us not to weep! He, too, hath wept—and sacred be the woes Once borne by Him, their inmost source who knows, Searches each wound, and bids His Spirit bring Celestial healing on its dove-like wing!
And who but He shall soothe, when one dread stroke Ties, that were fibres of the soul, hath broke? Oh! well may those, yet lingering here, deplore The vanish'd light, that cheers their path no more! Th' Almighty hand, which many a blessing dealt, Sends its keen arrows not to be unfelt! By fire and storm, heaven tries the Christian's worth, And joy departs, to wean us from the earth, Where still too long, with beings born to die, Time hath dominion o'er Eternity.
Yet not the less, o'er all the heart hath lost, Shall Faith rejoice, when Nature grieves the most. Then comes her triumph! through the shadowy gloom, Her star in glory rises from the tomb, Mounts to the day-spring, leaves the cloud below, And gilds the tears that cease not yet to flow! Yes, all is o'er! fear, doubt, suspense are fled— Let brighter thoughts be with the virtuous dead! The final ordeal of the soul is past, And the pale brow is seal'd to heaven at last!$^1$
And thou, loved spirit! for the skies mature, Steadfast in faith, in meek devotion pure; Thou that didst make the home thy presence bless'd Bright with the sunshine of thy gentle breast, Where peace a holy dwelling-place had found, Whence beam'd her smile benignantly around; Thou, that to bosoms widow'd and bereft Dear, precious records of thy worth hast left, The treasured gem of sorrowing hearts to be, Till heaven recall surviving love to thee!
O cherish'd and revered! fond memory well On thee, with sacred, sad delight, may dwell! So pure, so blest thy life, that Death alone Could make more perfect happiness thine own. He came: thy cup of joy, serenely bright, Full to the last, still flow'd in cloudless light; He came—an angel, bearing from on high The all it wanted—Immortality!
# Hemans Miscellaneous Poetry 3/To Faunus

TO FAUNUS.
BOOK III., ODE XVIll.
Faunus! who lovest the flying nymphs to chase,  Oh, let thy steps with genial influence tread
My sunny fields, and be thy fostering grace  Left on my nursling groves and borders shed;
If, at the mellow closing of the year,  A tender kid in sacrifice be thine;
Nor fail the liberal bowls to Venus dear;  Nor clouds of incense to thine antique shrine.
Joyous each flock in meadow herbage plays,
 When the December feast returns to thee;
Calmly the ox along the pasture strays,  With festal villagers from toil set free.
Then from the wolf no more the lambs retreat,  Then shower the woods to thee their foliage round; And the glad labourer triumphs that his feet
 In triple dance have struck the hated ground.
# Hemans Miscellaneous Poetry 3/To his Attendant

Following 'To Venus'
TO HIS ATTENDANT.
BOOK I., ODE XXXVIII.
I hate the Persian's costly pride: The wreaths with bands of linden tied—  These, boy, delight me not; Nor where the lingering roses bide  Seek thou for me the spot. For me be naught but myrtle twined— The modest myrtle, sweet to bind  Alike thy brows and mine, While thus I quaff the bowl, reclined  Beneath th' o'erarching vine.

O fool, to try to carry thyself upon thy own shoulders! O beggar, to come to beg at thy own door!
Leave all thy burdens on his hands who can bear all, and never look behind in regret.
Thy desire at once puts out the light from the lamp it touches with its breath. It is unholy—take not thy gifts through its unclean hands. Accept only what is offered by sacred love.
# Gitanjali/93

93
I have got my leave. Bid me farewell, my brothers! I bow to you all and take my departure.
Here I give back the keys of my door—and I give up all claims to my house. I only ask for last kind words from you.
We were neighbours for long, but I received more than I could give. Now the day has dawned and the lamp ​ that lit my dark corner is out. A summons has come and I am ready for my journey.
# Gitanjali/96

96
When I go from hence let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus that expands on the ocean of light, and thus am I blessed—let this be my parting word.
In this playhouse of infinite forms I have had my play and here have I caught sight of him that is formless.
My whole body and my limbs have thrilled with his touch who is beyond touch; and if the end comes here, let it come—let this be my parting word.
# Gitanjali/90

90
On the day when death will knock at thy door what wilt thou offer to him?
Oh, I will set before my guest the full vessel of my life—I will never let him go with empty hands.
All the sweet vintage of all my autumn days and summer nights, all the earnings and gleanings of my busy life will I place before him at the close of my days when death will knock at my door.
# Gitanjali/92

92
I know that the day will come when my sight of this earth shall be lost, and life will take its leave in silence, drawing the last curtain over my eyes.
Yet stars will watch at night, and morning rise as before, and hours heave like sea waves casting up pleasures and pains.
​When I think of this end of my moments, the barrier of the moments breaks and I see by the light of death thy world with its careless treasures. Rare is its lowliest seat, rare is its meanest of lives.
Things that I longed for in vain and things that I got—let them pass. Let me but truly possess the things that I ever spurned and overlooked.
# Gitanjali/97

97
When my play was with thee I never questioned who thou wert. I knew nor shyness nor fear, my life was boisterous.
In the early morning thou wouldst ​ call me from my sleep like my own comrade and lead me running from glade to glade.
On those days I never cared to know the meaning of songs thou sangest to me. Only my voice took up the tunes, and my heart danced in their cadence.
Now, when the playtime is over, what is this sudden sight that is come upon me? The world with eyes bent upon thy feet stands in awe with all its silent stars.
# Gitanjali/91

91
O thou the last fulfilment of life, Death, my death, come and whisper to me!
Day after day have I kept watch for ​ thee; for thee have I borne the joys and pangs of life.
All that I am, that I have, that I hope and all my love have ever flowed towards thee in depth of secrecy. One final glance from thine eyes and my life will be ever thine own.
The flowers have been woven and the garland is ready for the bridegroom. After the wedding the bride shall leave her home and meet her lord alone in the solitude of night.
# Gitanjali/94

94
At this time of my parting, wish me good luck, my friends! The sky is flushed with the dawn and my path lies beautiful.
Ask not what I have with me to take there. I start on my journey with empty hands and expectant heart.
I shall put on my wedding garland. Mine is not the red-brown dress of the traveller, and though there are dangers on the way I have no fear in my mind.
The evening star will come out when my voyage is done and the plaintive notes of the twilight melodies be struck up from the King's gateway.
# Gitanjali/95

95
I was not aware of the moment when I first crossed the threshold of this life.
What was the power that made me open out into this vast mystery like a bud in the forest at midnight!
When in the morning I looked upon the light I felt in a moment that I was no stranger in this world, that the inscrutable without name and form had taken me in its arms in the form of my own mother.
Even so, in death the same unknown will appear as ever known to me. And because I love this life, I know I shall love death as well.
The child cries out when from the right breast the mother takes it away, in the very next moment to find in the left one its consolation.
# Gitanjali/98

98
I will deck thee with trophies, garlands of my defeat. It is never in my power to escape unconquered.
I surely know my pride will go to the wall, my life will burst its bonds in exceeding pain, and my empty heart will sob out in music like a hollow reed, and the stone will melt in tears.
I surely know the hundred petals of ​ a lotus will not remain closed for ever and the secret recess of its honey will be bared.
From the blue sky an eye shall gaze upon me and summon me in silence. Nothing will be left for me, nothing whatever, and utter death shall I receive at thy feet.

# Historical Tales and Anecdotes of the Time of the Early Khalifahs/The way in which el-Mahdy was entertained by the Arab

THE WAY IN WHICH EL-MÁHDY WAS ENTERTAINED BY THE ARAB.
TRANSLATOR'S PREFATORY NOTE.
El-Máhdy, the third Khalîfah of the Abbasside dynasty, succeeded his father, Abu-Jaʾafar, el-Mansûr, {{ad 158 ({AD}} 774). He died A.H. 169 (A.D. 786), in the forty-second year of his age, having reigned ten years, one month, and fifteen days. Some writers affirm that his death was caused by an accident while hunting; but the more received opinion is it was in consequence of eating a poisoned pear which was given to him by one of his favourite mistresses, for whom it had been prepared by a rival. He was a liberal and munificent, not to say prodigal, prince, as he dissipated in a short time the immense treasures left him by his father. He applied himself diligently to affairs of state; and was greatly beloved by his subjects on account of his impartial administration of justice and aversion to bloodshed.
IT is recorded that one day el-Máhdy went out hunting, and his horse ran away with him until he came to the hut of an Arab. And el-Máhdy cried, "O Arab! hast thou wherewith to feast a guest?"
The Arab replied, "Yes," and produced for him a barley loaf, which el-Máhdy ate. Then he brought ​out the remains of some milk, and gave him to drink; after which he brought some wine in a bottle, and poured him out a glass. And when el-Máhdy had drank it, he said, "O brother of the Arabs! dost thou know who I am?"
"No, by Allâh!" he replied.
"I am one of the personal attendants of the Commander of the Faithful," said el-Máhdy.
"May Allâh prosper thee in thy situation!" returned the Arab. Then he poured out a second glass; and when el-Máhdy had drank it, he cried, "O Arab! dost thou know who I am ?"
He answered, "Thou hast stated that thou art one of the personal attendants of the Commander of the Faithful."
"No," said el-Máhdy; "but I am one of the chief officers of the Commander of the Faithful."
"May thy country be enlarged, and thy wishes fulfilled!" exclaimed the Arab. Then he poured out a third glass for him; and when el-Máhdy had drained it, he said, "O Arab! dost thou know who I am?"
The man replied, "Thou hast made me believe thou art one of the chief officers of the Commander of the Faithful."
​"Not so," said el-Máhdy; "but I am the Commander of the Faithful himself."
Then the Arab took the bottle and put it away, and said, "By Allâh! wert thou to drink the fourth, thou wouldst declare thyself to be the Messenger of Allâh!"
Then el-Máhdy laughed until he lost his senses. And lo! the horsemen surrounded them, and the princes and nobles dismounted before him, and the heart of the Arab stood still. But el-Máhdy said to him, "Fear not: thou hast done no wrong." And he ordered a robe and a sum of money to be given to him.
# Historical Tales and Anecdotes of the Time of the Early Khalifahs/The witty Arab

THE WITTY ARAB.
EL-MANSÛR was preaching one day at Damascus, and said, "O ye people! it is incumbent upon you to give praise to the Most High, that He has given me to reign over you. For verily since I began to reign over you He has taken away the plague which had come amongst you." But a certain Arab cried out to him, "Of a truth Allâh is too merciful to give us both thee and the plague at one time!"
# Hart v. Virginia/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
298 U.S. 34
Hart v. Virginia
Argued: April 13, 1936. ---
Appellant, a convict, was convicted of the felonious killing of one Alton Leonard, a prison guard, in whose custody appellant was working. The jury fixed his punishment at death. The conviction and sentence were pursuant to sections 5049 and 5051 of the Virginia Code 1930, providing, so far as pertinent, as follows:
'§ 5049. A convict confined in the penitentiary, or in custody of an officer thereof, shall be deemed guilty of felony if he kill, wound, or inflict other bodily injury upon an officer or guard of the penitentiary.'
'§ 5051. A convict guilty of such killing as is mentioned in section five thousand and forty-nine, or of any act therein mentioned, from which death ensues to such officer or guard, shall be punished with death.'
Appellant challenged these provisions as being repugnant to the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution. His main contentions were that the statute was so broad as to embrace excusable homicide and that, as a convict, he was deprived of the equal protection of the laws relating to murder and manslaughter.
We take the statute as construed by the state court and applied in the instant case. Appellant defended the killing of Leonard upon the ground of self-defense. The evidence in support of that defense, with all the circumstances of the case, was submitted to the jury under appropriate instructions which recognized the admissibility of the defense under the statute. The trial court, defining with care the right of self-defense, charged the jury that if appellant had acted in the exercise of that right, the jury should find him not guilty. The Supreme Court of Appeals refused to review the judgment upon the ground that it was 'plainly right.'
As we find no substantial federal question presented, the appeal is dismissed for the want of jurisdiction. (1) Lee v. New Jersey, 204 U.S. 67, 70, 28 S.Ct. 22, 52 L.Ed. 106; Hatch v. Reardon, 204 U.S. 152, 160, 27 S.Ct. 188, 51 L.Ed. 415, 9 Ann.Cas. 736; Fox v. Washington, 236 U.S. 273, 277, 35 S.Ct. 383, 59 L.Ed. 573; (2) Graham v.

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
95 U.S. 316
Hart v. United States
The second defence relied upon in this case is disposed of by Osborne v. United States, 19 Wall. 577, which we are not inclined to reconsider.
The third defence is equally bad. Under the law as it stood when this suit was commenced, no distilled spirits could be removed from a distillery warehouse before payment of the tax, 15 Stat. 130, sect. 15, without subjecting all those engaged in such a removal to heavy penalties, id. 140, sect. 36. An officer of the United States had no authority to dispense with this requirement of the law. If in violation of his duty he permitted such a removal, he subjected himself to punishment, but did not bind the government by his acts. The government is not responsible for the laches or the wrongful acts of its officers. Gibbons v. United States, 8 Wall. 269; United States v. Kirkpatrick, 9 Wheat. 720; United States v. Vanzandt, 11 id. 184; United States v. Nicholl, 12 id. 505; Jones et al. v. United States, 18 Wall. 662. Every surety upon an official bond to the government is presumed to enter into his contract with a full knowledge of this principle of law, and to consent to be dealt with accordingly. The government enters into no contract with him that its officers shall perform their duties. A government may be a loser by the negligence of its officers, but it never becomes bound to others for the consequences of such neglect, unless it be by express agreement to that effect. Here the surety was aware of the lien which the law gave as security for the payment of the tax. He also knew that, in order to retain this lien, the government must rely upon the diligence and honesty of its agents. If they performed their duties and preserved the security, it inured to his benefit as well as that of the government; but if by neglect or misconduct they lost it, the government did not come under obligations to make good the loss to him, or, what is the same thing, release him pro tanto from the obligation of his bond. As between himself and the government, he took the risk of the effect of official negligence upon the security which the law provided for his protection against loss by reason of the liability he assumed.
There was no error in striking out that portion of the first defence which was objected to. It was not responsive to any allegation in the petition.
Judgment affirmed.

# Gradatim (unsourced)

This poem was written in 1872.
GRADATIM
Heaven is not reached at a single bound;  But we build the ladder by which we rise  From the lowly earth, to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round.
I count this thing to be grandly true:  That a noble deed is a step toward God,  Lifting the soul from the common clod To a purer air and a broader view.
We rise by the things that are under feet;  By what we have mastered of good and gain;  By the pride deposed and the passion slain, And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet.
We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we trust,  When the morning calls us to life and light,  But our hearts grow weary, and, ere the night, Our lives are trailing the sordid dust.
We hope, we resolve, we aspire, we pray,  And we think that we mount the air on wings  Beyond the recall of sensual things, While our feet still cling to the heavy clay.
Wings for the angels, but feet for men!  We may borrow the wings to find the way —  We may hope, and resolve, and aspire, and pray; But our feet must rise, or we fall again.
Only in dreams is a ladder thrown  From the weary earth to the sapphire walls;  But the dreams depart, and the vision falls, And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone.
Heaven is not reached at a single bound;  But we build the ladder by which we rise  From the lowly earth, to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit, round by round.  Josiah Gilbert Holland
