Written in 1789, first published in the collected works of 1834.
Ye souls unus’d to lofty verse Who sweep the earth with lowly wing, Like sand before the blast disperse — A Nose! a mighty Nose I sing! As erst Prometheus stole from heaven the fire To animate the wonder of his hand; Thus with unhallow’d hands, O Muse, aspire, And from my subject snatch a burning brand! So like the Nose I sing — my verse shall glow — Like Phlegethon my verse in waves of fire shall flow! 10
Light of this once all darksome spot Where now their glad course mortals run, First-born of Sirius begot Upon the focus of the Sun — I’ll call thee — ! for such thy earthly name — What name so high, but what too low must be? Comets, when most they drink the solar flame Are but faint types and images of thee!
Burn madly, Fire! o’er earth in ravage run, Then blush for shame more red by fiercer — outdone! 20
I saw when from the turtle feast The thick dark smoke in volumes rose! I saw the darkness of the mist Encircle thee, O Nose! Shorn of thy rays thou shott’st a fearful gleam (The turtle quiver’d with prophetic fright) Gloomy and sullen thro’ the night of steam: — So Satan’s Nose when Dunstan urg’d to flight, Glowing from gripe of red-hot pincers dread Athwart the smokes of Hell disastrous twilight shed! 30
The Furies to madness my brain devote — In robes of ice my body wrap! On billowy flames of fire I float, Hear ye my entrails how they snap? Some power unseen forbids my lungs to breathe! What fire-clad meteors round me whizzing fly! I vitrify thy torrid zone beneath, Proboscis fierce! I am calcined! I die! Thus, like great Pliny, in Vesuvius’ fire, I perish in the blaze while I the blaze admire. 40

# The New Student's Reference Work/Ape

See also Ape on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Ape, the name often applied to any monkey, but here confined to the tailless, semi-erect forms that most nearly approach man in structure. This includes the chimpanzee, orang-outang, gorilla and the gibbon. They are all inhabitants of the old world. The term man-like ape applied to these forms is significant of their likeness in structure to man. In fact, man differs structurally from these apes no more than they differ among themselves. It requires some anatomical knowledge to appreciate the differences. Those in the brain are often referred to, but even in that organ it is largely a difference in size, in convolutions and microscopic structure. The convolution containing the brain-cells that preside over speech (convolution of Brocca) is deficient in the apes, and there are, of course, other differences. The likeness is especially strong in the young animal.
An interesting contribution to the facts bearing on the subject of structural resemblances was the finding of a fossil form more man-like than any previously discovered. In 1894, there was found in the island of Java remains of a fossil ape (Pithecanthropus erectus), which, from the capacity and form of the cranium and the anatomy of the long bone of the leg, occupies a position intermediate between man and living apes. The doctrine of evolution does not teach that any existing ape is in the direct line of man's ancestry, but that the simian line and the human line are united in remote generalized ancestors common to both groups. The existing apes are, therefore, side branches, as it were, of the ancestral tree and not in the direct royal line. The apes are progressing in their habits; some of them build rude shelter, use clubs and stones in defense, etc., but a popular misconception should be corrected—their progress is not directly toward humanity, but toward a more perfect simianity. Apes live mainly on vegetable food. They are as large as, or larger than, man; all can walk as man does, though more at home in climbing. They have no tail and no cheek pouches, have great strength and intelligence. They are by nature very savage, and are among the most dangerous of wild animals. See Chimpanzee, Orang-Outang, Gorilla.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Apelles

See also Apelles on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Apelles (ä-pĕl′ēz), a Greek painter, who lived probably between 352 and 308 B. C. We do not know when or where he was born, nor when or where he died, and not one of his pictures remains, yet his name stands for the highest excellence in painting. He painted portraits of Philip and Alexander, who would sit to no other painter. His most famous picture was Venus Rising from the Sea. One of his paintings, representing Alexander holding a thunderbolt, was sold for a sum equal to $200,000. When he had finished a picture, he used to place it in a public place and hide behind it, to hear what was said. Once he overheard a passing shoemaker say that a slipper on the foot of a figure had not ties enough. Apelles corrected the mistake. The next day the shoemaker began to find fault with a leg, when Apelles, putting out his head, desired him to confine his criticism to the slipper.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Aphrodite

See also Aphrodite on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Aphrodite (af-rō-dī′tē), the Greek goddess of love, the counterpart of Venus in Roman mythology. Both, probably, are of Asiatic origin; though it is to the Greeks that we owe the pretty story of her birth from the sea foam and of her subsequently becoming the wife of Hephæstos and the mother of Cupid. By another account, Aphrodite is said to be the daughter of Jupiter and Dione. Beautiful herself, she was endowed with the power of conferring beauty; and as the queen of beauty she was awarded the golden apple of Paris.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Apogamy

See also Asexual reproduction on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Apogamy (á-pŏg′á-my). In plants with regular alternation of generations (which see) the gametophyte produces the sporophyte by means of a fertilized egg. Occasionally the sporophyte is produced directly upon the gametophyte without the intervention of an egg, and such a phenomenon is known as apogamy. In general, therefore, apogamy refers to the appearance of the embryos of higher plants without any sex act.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Apennines

See also Apennine Mountains on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Ap′ermines, a chain of mountains in Italy, running the whole length of the peninsula, from the Maritime Alps to the Straits of Messina, a distance of 800 miles. Its average height is about 4,200 feet; its highest peak, Monte Corno, is 9,542 feet. Between the main range and the Mediterranean extends a chain called the Sub-Apennines, which include the group of volcanoes of which, Mt. Vesuvius is the center.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Apetalous Flowers

See also Flower on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Apet′alous Flowers. The phrase literally means "flowers without petals," but it is somewhat arbitrarily applied. In a complete flower there are two distinguishable floral envelopes—calyx and corolla. In case there is only one floral envelop, it is assumed that the corolla (petals) is missing, and the flower is said to be apetalous. The apetalous condition may be a primitive one, or it may have been derived by reduction from forms which had petals. Apetalous flowers are most common in what are regarded as the more primitive families of Angiosperms. The noun form of the word is apetaly.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Apiary

See also Apiary on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ A′piary, a house or structure for keeping bees, from the Latin apis, a bee. Differences of opinion exist as to the best form hives should take and of what material they should be constructed. Among old-country bee-keepers, the old dome-shaped straw skep is still preferred; others prefer a box-like wooden hive, consisting of a breeding-chamber below and two sliding
# The New Student's Reference Work/Apocarpous Flowers

See also Carpel on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Apocarpous (ăp′ō-kär′pŭs) Flowers. The carpels of a flower may remain distinct from one another and thus form simple pistils, or they may organize together in the formation of a compound pistil. In the former case the flower is apocarpous, in the latter it is syncarpous. An apocarpous condition is regarded as more primitive than a syncarpous one. The noun form of the word is apocarpy.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Apaches

See also Apache on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Apa'ches (ä-pä' chāz), a tribe of Indians that inhabit Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Mexico. They are the most treacherous and bloodthirsty of Indians, and live by hunting and robbery. They have no single chief. By a system of mountain signals they can gather at short notice a large body of warriors.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Aphides

See also Aphid on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Aphides (ăf′ĭ-dēz), small insects very injurious to plants and commonly called plant-lice. The number of species is very large, and they live on a great variety of plants. They are usually greenish in color, with short bodies and long slender legs. Their mouth parts are formed into a short stylet, through which they suck the juices of plants. They prey practically upon all cultivated plants, and increase so rapidly that were it not for their numerous enemies plant life would almost be destroyed. The grapevine phylloxera is very destructive to vineyards; a great pest is the root-louse of the apple, mistakenly called the American blight; another great pest the hop plant louse; and others, the aphides of the cabbage, potato, bean, apple, pear, etc., have carried wide destruction. They are produced in large numbers, and have natural enemies, like the larvae of the lady-bird. Tobacco and a strong solution of soap and kerosene emulsion are used in combating them.
Many forms of aphide produce a sweet liquid, called honey-dew, of which ants are very fond. Ants are known to keep herds of them as "milch cows" in captivity, protecting them from their enemies and stroking them with their antennae in order to make them give up the honey-dew.
# The Philippine Islands, 1493–1898/Volume 6/Letter to Felipe II (February 8, 1587)

LETTER FROM MARQUES DON MANRIQUEZ TO FELIPE II
Sacred Royal Catholic Majesty:
On the twenty-fourth of January I wrote to your Majesty a letter, which I send with this, in clause 6 of which I stated how very important it is for your Majesty's service that trading in the Philipinas should be carried on through the hands of the merchants; that they should maintain ships, in order to relieve your Majesty from so great and heavy expense as you are under at the port of Acapulco; and that it was on this account that the galleon "Sant Martin Visto" had been sold at auction. To show of what importance this is—to begin with, it was sold for sixteen thousand pesos, which was the highest sum offered, and, in addition, what the repairs would cost which would be made at Acapulco after the arrival of the vessel, which came to two thousand pesos more. If no one had been willing to give so much, I myself would have done so; for I am quite certain that this is to be the first step in setting this business on the sound basis which is desired. As they continue to sell the other galleons and to build more, we must have merchants who are interested in buying them and in sending them away on voyages; thus conditions will finally come to be like those in the Northern Sea, and the great expense which your ​Majesty incurs in those islands will cease; and ships will be built in the Philipinas, which will cost but little. It may be a means of profit to your Majesty's royal exchequer to continue selling ships to the merchants. This has been demonstrated by experience; for the man who bought the galleon "Sant Martin" has offered to keep it on this route as long as it will hold together—as also another vessel, of two hundred toneladas. This offer is accompanied with certain conditions, as your Majesty will see from the petition which he presented to me, which accompanies this letter. Since he demands various things of importance, and some others which concern his own profit, they should be carefully considered. Certain conditions should also be imposed upon him, which would benefit your Majesty and, when fulfilled, would stop the expense at Acapulco. I have referred it to your Majesty's fiscal and the royal officials, that they may give their opinion on all points. All of us will examine this matter with the utmost attention, and I shall send a report to your Majesty of what action shall be taken. May our Lord guard your sacred royal Catholic person during many years, with increase of greater kingdoms and seigniories, as the Christian world needs and your Majesty's servants and vassals desire. From Mexico, February 8, M.D. LXXVIJ. Sacred Royal Catholic Majesty, I kiss your Majesty's royal feet and hands. Your faithful vassal and servant,
Alvaro, Marques Don Manrrique.
[Endorsed: "+ Philipinas; February 8, 1587. To his sacred royal Catholic Majesty, the king, our lord, in his royal Council of the Indias. Let a duplicate be made of what is here related. Duplicated."]

# The Poems of Oscar Wilde/Apologia

APOLOGIA
Is it thy will that I should wax and wane, Barter my cloth of gold for hodden grey, And at thy pleasure weave that web of pain Whose brightest threads are each a wasted day?
Is it thy will—Love that I love so well— That my Soul's House should be a tortured spot Wherein, like evil paramours, must dwell The quenchless flame, the worm that dieth not?
Nay, if it be thy will I shall endure, And sell ambition at the common mart, And let dull failure be my vestiture, And sorrow dig its grave within my heart.
Perchance it may be better so—at least I have not made my heart a heart of stone, Nor starved my boyhood of its goodly feast, Nor walked where Beauty is a thing unknown.
​Many a man hath done so; sought to fence In straitened bonds the soul that should be free, Trodden the dusty road of common sense, While all the forest sang of liberty.
Not marking how the spotted hawk in flight Passed on wide pinion through the lofty air, To where some steep untrodden mountain height Caught the last tresses of the Sun God's hair.
Or how the little flower he trod upon, The daisy, that white-feathered shield of gold, Followed with wistful eyes the wandering sun Content if once its leaves were aureoled.
But surely it is something to have been The best belovèd for a little while, To have walked hand in hand with Love, and seen His purple wings flit once across thy smile.
Ay! though the gorgèd asp of passion feed On my boy's heart, yet have I burst the bars, Stood face to face with Beauty, known indeed The Love which moves the Sun and all the stars!

ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE.
# The Poems of Oscar Wilde/Ailinon, ailinon eipe

Αἴλινον, αἴλινον εἰπέ, τὸ δ' εὖ νικάτω.
O well for him who lives at ease With garnered gold in wide domain, Nor heeds the splashing of the rain, The crashing down of forest trees.
O well for him who ne'er hath known The travail of the hungry years, A father grey with grief and tears, A mother weeping all alone.
But well for him whose foot hath trod The weary road of toil and strife, Yet from the sorrows of his life Builds ladders to be nearer God.
# The Poems of Oscar Wilde/Amor Intellectualis

AMOR INTELLECTUALIS
Oft have we trod the vales of Castaly And heard sweet notes of sylvan music blown From antique reeds to common folk unknown: And often launched our bark upon that sea Which the nine Muses hold in empery, And ploughed free furrows through the wave and foam, Nor spread reluctant sail for more safe home Till we had freighted well our argosy. Of which despoilèd treasures these remain, Sordello's passion, and the honeyed line Of young Endymion, lordly Tamburlaine Driving his pampered jades, and, more than these, The seven-fold vision of the Florentine, And grave-browed Milton's solemn harmonies.
# The Poems of John Dyer/To Aurelia

TO AURELIA
See, the flowery Spring is blown, Let us leave the smoky Town: From the Mall, and from the Ring, Every one has taken wing; Cloe, Strephon, Corydon,5 To the meadows all are gone; What is left you worth your stay? Come, Aurelia, come away.
Come, Aurelia, come and see What a lodge I've dress'd for thee;10 But the seat you cannot see, 'Tis so hid with jessamy, With the vine that o'er the walls, And in every window, crawls; Let us there be blithe and gay!15 Come, Aurelia, come away.
Come with all thy sweetest wiles, With thy graces and thy smiles; Come, and we will merry be, Who shall be so blest as we?20 We will frolic all the day, Haste, Aurelia, while we may: Ay! and should not life be gay? Yes, Aurelia—come away.
# The Poems of John Godfrey Saxe/The Blind Men and the Elephant

* related portals: Folklore, Poetry.

THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT.
A HINDOO FABLE.
I.
IT was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
II.
The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me!—but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"
III.
The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried: "Ho!—what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 't is mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"
IV.
The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"
V.
The Fourth reached out his eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," quoth he;
"'T is clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"
VI.
The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"
VII.
The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"
VIII.
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!
MORAL.
So, oft in theologic wars
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant Not one of them has seen!
# The Poems of Oscar Wilde/A Vision

A VISION
Two crownèd Kings, and One that stood alone With no green weight of laurels round his head, But with sad eyes as one uncomforted, And wearied with man's never-ceasing moan For sins no bleating victim can atone, And sweet long lips with tears and kisses fed. Girt was he in a garment black and red, And at his feet I marked a broken stone Which sent up lilies, dove-like, to his knees. Now at their sight, my heart being lit with flame I cried to Beatricé, 'Who are these?' And she made answer, knowing well each name, 'Æschylos first, the second Sophokles, And last (wide stream of tears!) Euripides.'
# The Poems of John Dyer/To the Poet, John Dyer

TO THE POET, JOHN DYER
By William Wordsworth
Bard of the Fleece, whose skilful genius made
That work a living landscape fair and bright;
Nor hallowed less with musical delight
Than those soft scenes through which thy childhood strayed,
Those southern tracts of Cambria, 'deep embayed,
With green hills fenced, with Ocean's murmur lulled';
Though hasty fame hath many a chaplet culled
For worthless brows, while in the pensive shade
Of cold neglect she leaves thy head ungraced,
Yet pure and powerful minds, hearts meek and still,
A grateful few, shall love thy modest lay,
Long as the shepherd's bleating flock shall stray
O'er naked Snowdon's wide aërial waste;
Long as the thrush shall pipe on Grongar Hill!
