# The Hyaenas

First published in The Years Between (1919).
After the burial-parties leave  And the baffled kites have fled; The wise hyaenas come out at eve  To take account of our dead.
How he died and why he died  Troubles them not a whit. They snout the bushes and stones aside  And dig till they come to it.
They are only resolute they shall eat  That they and their mates may thrive, And they know that the dead are safer meat  Than the weakest thing alive.
(For a goat may butt, and a worm may sting,  And a child will sometimes stand; But a poor dead soldier of the King  Can never lift a hand.)
They whoop and halloo and scatter the dirt  Until their tushes white Take good hold of the army shirt,  And tug the corpse to light,
And the pitiful face is shewn again  For an instant ere they close; But it is not discovered to living men –  Only to God and to those
Who, being soulless, are free from shame,  Whatever meat they may find. Nor do they defile the dead man's name –  That is reserved for his kind.

APPENDIX I
JOHN ŽIŽKA
By Lenau
Trocnov’s forest peaceful lay, Bathed in fading sunset’s glow; E’en the treetops lay as still As their roots deep down below.
Lost in thought a horseman neared, On his arm reins loosely wound, Pacing slowly, dreamily Sinks his steed’s head t’ward the ground.
Suddenly the rider halts; As from dreamland he awoke, Leapt his blade from out its sheath, Haileth thus an ancient oak:
Here at this oak’s gnarled trunk, On a stormy thunder night, By sharp birth-pains overta’en Mother brought me forth to light.
Heard alone the wood her groans, Midwife was the bitter blast, That as blessings on the child Lightning flashes round it cast.
’Gainst all dangers meant to brace me For a warrior’s hardy doom; Merciless the cold hail beat on Moaning mother’s pain-torn womb.
Storm the first breath that I drew, Thunderclap first caught my ear; Hence a storm-bred suckling, I Plunge now on my wild career.
Hus! beneath this oak I swear Vengeance on thy death, for lo, Hus, the earth soon crimson-red With thy torturers’ blood shall flow.
Hus, so freely from their wounds Shall their blood stream forth therewhile, That it could a hundredfold Quench at once thy blazing pile.
Hus, the soil shall turn as black As their smouldering forts, and I, Wheresoe’er a priest be found I will slay him, he shall die!
From the dense smoke-laden clouds Shall the eye of God grow dim, That they could commit such crime In the very sight of Him!
Quenchless, Hus; within my breast Burns a spark from thy death-pyre; As their crime, so my revenge— They shall dread my righteous ire.
O Bohemia! Wilt thou list To the oath I swear thee now? Will my greenwood birthplace hear This my solemn, sacred vow?
Soul and body here I tend Freely for thy cause, until Death o’ertakes me, list, Bohemia! Stand thou still, my steed, stand still.

# The Modern Review/Volume 38/Number 4/Dadhichi

Dadhichi
In some dim and historic past India witnessed the supreme sacrifice of Maharshi Dadhichi who has ever since remained in the heart of India as the ideal of renunciation, purity and selflessness. In this age of historical research one would ask us who Dadhichi was and the exact circumstances and setting of his life. We might also be asked to prove that Dadhichi really was somebody and that he actually made some sacrifice for some cause. But we must own up that we shall not be able to satisfy the curiosity of critical historians. In olden days people had a habit of deifying great men and associating their life and deeds with the gods. As a result of this much human “history” has become mythology. This is hardly anything to be mourned; for the essence of the history is not lost; it has merely been preserved in a different shape. The story of Dadhichi that has been handed down to us by our fore-fathers is that once upon a time the gods were subjected to merciless persecution by the demon Vrittra. Neither Vishnu nor Siva, nor Indra could do anything to this mighty foe who drove the gods from heaven and harassed them till they thought their immortality a curse. Then the gods were told that nothing could destroy Vrittra except a Vajra carved out of the bone of a perfectly pure man who would give up his life, without any remorse or hesitation, for the gods. The gods went shamefacedly to Dadhichi as there was no other being who could satisfy these conditions and begged for his bones. The sage gave up his life with not even the shadow of any unwillingness. He was glad that his bones could be of any good to the gods. The gods made the Vajra out of his bones and killed Vrittra with it. Thus heaven was saved from domination by the Asura: The story tells us of one who passed the supreme test of true idealism; that of unflinching readiness to give up even one’s life in order to realise the ideal. When the community, of which the individual is but a part and through which alone is it possible for the individual to attain completeness, is in some great danger, either external or internal, it is renunciation on the part of the individual and nothing else that can save it. Dadhichi was one who gladly died to serve the community and for good.
The Calcutta Dadhichi Jainti Samiti recently celebrated the glory of the great sage. In these days of rampant selfishness, narrowness and corrupt individualism, if the spirit of Dadhichi could be invoked to rouse a sense of social duty in our hearts and ​give us the power to place ourselves second to the social good it may yet save us from complete moral bankruptcy.

# The Modern Review/Volume 38/Number 4/Kartabhaja and Maharaja Sects

Kartabhaja and Maharaja Sects
In the last July number, Prof. Sarkar had forecasted that “the history of Bengal” during the next few months will furnish the answer to the question whether we have acquired the one indispensable basis of popular government or whether we still retain the spirit of the Kartabhaja and Maharaja sects.” The answer has been supplied, and very promptly, by Mr. J. M. Sen Gupta, who has publicly called upon the youngmen of Bengal “to give less importance to their conscience and follow their leader unquestioningly.” (see Sept. number, p. 381.)
Conscience is the faculty of distinguishing what is morally right from what is morally reprehensible. The Maharaja sects are taught to surrender this faculty to their spiritual guide if it is to win salvation. A similar surrender of conscience and judgment is found among the Kartabhaja sect of Bengal as is indicated among other things by a corrupt interpretation of a line in its song relating to its founder Aoolchand, “এর সঙ্গে বাইশ জন, সবার একটি মন” “He has twenty-two persons with him whose mind is one.” And now we have been told authoritatively that a political party must surrender its conscience to its leader, if it is to win Swaraj. The parallel has been completely established by Mr. Sen Gupta.

Calcutta University Appointments
The Bengalee of the 11th September last mentioned some items of business to be transacted at the next day’s meeting of the Senate of the Calcutta University in the following paragraphs:—
Controller of Examinations
The Senate will also be asked to sanction the re-appointment of Rai Bahadur Abinaschandra Bose m.a., as Controller of Examinations for a further term of 5 years with effect from the 22nd November, 1925 on his existing salary of Rs. 1,000 per month.
University Lecturers
An important item will be to confirm the recommendation of the Appointments Board to the effect that in view of the fact that it will not be possible to finish preliminaries with regard to the appointments of the University Lecturers in the Post-Graduate Departments before the 30th September next, the existing appointments be extended to the 31st December, 1925.
There were 32 members of the Board present at the meeting at which this resolution was passed and which was held on Monday last. Barring the Vice-Chancellor, Sir Nilratan Sircar, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Ray and Rai Abinash Chandra Bose Bahadur, all the members are University Lecturers in the Post-Graduate Department whose extension of office was recommended at the meeting.
How old is the present Controller of Examinations?
If The Bengalee’s information be correct, the Appointments Board is a jolly good board.

# The Man Who Laughs (Estes and Lauriat 1869)/Chapter 23

CHAPTER XIV.
ORTACH.
DANGER was imminent again. After the Caskets comes Ortach. The storm is no artist; brutal and all-powerful, it never varies its appliances. The darkness is inexhaustible; its snares and perfidies never come to an end. As for man, he soon comes to the end of his resources. Man exhausts his strength, the abyss never. The shipwrecked men turned towards the chief, their hope. He could only shrug his shoulders. Dismal contempt of helplessness.
The Ortach, a single huge rock, rises in a straight line eighty feet above the angry beating of the waves. Waves and ships break against it. An immovable cube, it plunges its rectilinear planes into the numberless serpentine curves of the sea. At night it looks like an enormous block resting on the folds of a huge black sheet. In time of storm it awaits the stroke of the axe,—that is, the thunderbolt. But there is never a thunderbolt during a snow-storm. True, the ship has a bandage over her eyes; she is like one prepared for the scaffold. As for the lightning-bolt which puts one quickly out of one's misery, that is not to be hoped for.
The "Matutina," little better now than a log upon the waters, drifted towards this rock, as she had drifted towards the other. The poor wretches on board, who had for a moment believed themselves saved, relapsed into misery. The destruction they thought they had ​left behind them confronted them again. The reef reappeared from the bottom of the sea. Nothing had been gained.
The Caskets are a goffering iron with a thousand subdivisions; the Ortach is a solid wall. To be wrecked on the Caskets is to be cut into ribbons; to strike on the Ortach is to be crushed into powder. Nevertheless there was one chance. On a straight frontage like that of the Ortach, neither the wave nor the cannon-ball can ricochet. The operation is simple,—first the flux, then the reflux; a wave advances, a billow returns. In such cases the question of life and death is balanced thus: if the wave carries the vessel on the rock, she breaks on it and is lost; if the billow retires before the ship has touched, she is carried back,—she is saved.
It was a moment of intense anxiety. Those on board saw through the gloom the great decisive wave bearing down on them. How far was it going to drag them? If the wave broke upon the ship, they would be carried on the rock and dashed to pieces. If it passed under the ship—The wave did pass under. They breathed again.
But what of the recoil? What would the surf do with them? The surf carried them back. A few minutes later the "Matutina" was out of the breakers. The Ortach faded from their view, as the Caskets had done. It was their second victory. For the second time the hooker had verged on destruction, and had drawn back in time.
# The Man Who Laughs (Estes and Lauriat 1869)/Chapter 22

CHAPTER XIII.
FACE TO FACE WITH NIGHT.
AGAIN was the hooker running with the shadow into immeasurable darkness. The "Matutina," escaped from the Caskets, sank and rose from billow to billow, a respite, but in chaos. Spun around by the wind, tossed by all the thousand motions of the wave, she reflected every mad oscillation of the sea. She scarcely pitched at all,—a terrible symptom in a ship in distress. Wrecks merely roll; pitching is a sign of strife. The helm alone can turn a vessel to the wind.
Mists, whirlwinds, gales, motion in all directions, no shelter, gulf succeeding gulf, no horizon visible, intense blackness for background,—through all these the hooker drifted. To have got free of the Caskets, to have escaped the rock, was a victory for the shipwrecked men; but it was a victory which left them in a sort of stupor. They had raised no cheer; at sea such an impudence is not repeated twice. To throw down a challenge where they could not cast the lead, would have been too serious a jest. The shipwreck averted was an impossibility achieved; they were petrified by it. By degrees, however, they began to hope again. Such are the mirages of the soul! There is no distress so complete but that even in the most critical moments the inexplicable sunrise of hope is seen in its depths. These poor wretches were ready to declare to themselves that they were saved. The words were almost on their lips.
​But suddenly something terrible appeared before them in the darkness. On the port bow arose a tall, perpendicular, opaque mass, a square tower as it were. They gazed at it, open-mouthed. The storm was driving them straight towards it. They knew not what it was. It was the Ortach rock emerging from the depths of ocean.
