United States Supreme Court
70 U.S. 210
The Washington and Baltimore Turnpike Company v. The State of Maryland
The difficulty of the argument in behalf of the turnpike company, and which lies at the foundation of the defence is, that there is no contract in the charter of the turnpike company that prohibited the legislature from authorizing the construction of the rival railroad. No exclusive privileges had been conferred upon it, either in express terms, or by necessary implication; and hence whatever may have been the general injurious effects and consequences to the company, from the construction and operation of the rival road, they are simply misfortunes which may excite our sympathies, but are not the subject of legal redress.
It might have been very proper for the State, when chartering the railroad, to have provided for compensation for the prospective loss to the turnpike company, as has frequently been done in other States, under similar circumstances; but this was a question resting entirely with the legislature of the State, and their action is conclusive on the subject.
There is another answer to the defence in this case, even assuming that the charter of the turnpike company contained exclusive privileges that forbade the legislature of the State incorporating the railroad company.
The remedy was not in neglecting to repair the road, and at the same time collect the tolls. It was in restraining, by the proper proceedings, the railroad company from constructing their road. The breach of the contract on the part of the State furnished no excuse for the turnpike company in disregarding their part of it which was a burden, to wit, the repairs, while, at the same time, insisting upon the observance of the part beneficial, to wit, the collection of the tolls.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.

# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/Friends Beyond

FRIENDS BEYOND
WILLIAM DEWY, Tranter Reuben, Farmer Ledlow late at plough, Robert's kin, and Jolin's, and Ned's, And the Squire, and Lady Susan, lie in Mellstock churchyard now!
"Gone," I call them, gone for good, that group of local hearts and heads; Yet at mothy curfew-tide, And at midnight when the noon-heat breathes it back from walls and leads,
They've a way of whispering to me—fellow-wight who yet abide— In the muted, incasured note Of a ripple under archways, or a lone cave's stillicide:
"We have triumphed: this achievement turns the bane to antidote, Unsuccesses to success, Many thought-worn eves and morrows to a morrow free of thought.
"No more need we corn and clothing, feel of old terrestrial stress; Chill detraction stirs no sigh; Fear of death has even bygone us: death gave all that we possess."
W. D.—"Ye mid burn the wold bass-viol that I set such vallie by." Squire.—"You may hold the manse in fee, You may wed my spouse, my children's memory of me may decry."
Lady.—"You may have my rich brocades, my laces; take each household key; Ransack coffer, desk, bureau; Quiz the few poor treasures hid there, con the letters kept by me."
Far.—"Ye mid zell my favorite heifer, ye mid let the charlock grow, Foul the grinterns, give up thrift." Wife.—"If ye break my best blue china, children, I sha'n't care or ho."
All—"We've no wish to hear the tidings, how the people's fortunes shift; What your daily doings are; Who are wedded, born, divided; if your lives beat slow or swift.
"Curious not the least are we if our intents you make or mar, If you quire to our old tune. If the City stage still passes, if the weirs still roar afar."
—Thus, with very gods' composure, freed those crosses late and soon Which, in life, the Trine allow (Why, none witteth), and ignoring all that haps beneath the moon,
William Dewy, Tranter Reuben, Farmer Ledlow late at plough, Robert's kin, and John's, and Ned's, And the Squire, and Lady Susan, murmur mildly to me now.

HEIRESS AND ARCHITECT
For A. W. B.
SHE sought the Studios, beckoning to her side An arch-designer, for she planned to build. He was of wise contrivance, deeply skilled In every intervolve of high and wide— Well fit to be her guide.
"Whatever it be," Responded he, With cold, clear voice, and cold, clear view,
"In true accord with prudent fashionings For such vicissitudes as living brings, And thwarting not the law of stable things, That will I do."
"Shape me," she said, "high walls with tracery And open ogive-work, that scent and hue Of buds, and travelling bees, may come in through, The note of birds, and singings of the sea, For these are much to me."
"An idle whim!" Broke forth from him Whom nought could warm to gallantries: “Cede all these buds and birds, the zephyr's call. And scents, and hues, and things that falter all, And choose as best the close and surly wall, For winter's freeze."
"Then frame," she cried, "wide fronts of crystal glass, That I may show my laughter and my light— Light like the sun's by day, the stars' by night— Till rival heart-queens, envying, wail, 'Alas, Her glory!' as they pass."
“O maid misled!" He sternly said, Whose facile foresight pierced her dire; "Where shall abide the soul when, sick of glee, It shrinks, and hides, and prays no eye may see? Those house them best who house for secrecy, For you will tire."
"A little chamber, then, with swan and dove Ranged thickly, and engrailed with rare device Of reds and purples, for a Paradise Wherein my Love may greet me, I my Love, When he shall know thereof?"
"This, too, is ill," He answered still, The man who swayed her like a shade. "An hour will come when sight of such sweet nook Would bring a bitterness too sharp to brook, When brighter eyes have won away his look; For you will fade."
Then said she faintly: "O, contrive some way— Some narrow winding turret, quite mine own, To reach a loft where I may grieve alone! It is a slight thing; hence do not, I pray, This last dear fancy slay!"
"Such winding ways Fit not your days," Said he, the man of measuring eye; "I must even fashion as my rule declares, To wit: Give space (since life ends unawares) To hale a coffined corpse adown the stairs; For you will die."

# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/Her Dilemma

HER DILEMMA
(in — church)
THE two were silent in a sunless church, Whose mildewed walls, uneven pavingstones, And wasted carvings passed antique research; And nothing broke the clock's dull monotones.
Leaning against a wormy poppy-head, So wan and worn that he could scarcely stand,
—For he was soon to die,—he softly said, "Tell me you love me!"—holding hard her hand.
She would have given a world to breathe "yes" truly, So much his life seemed hanging on her mind, And hence she lied, her heart persuaded throughly, 'Twas worth her soul to be a moment kind.
But the sad need thereof, his nearing death, So mocked humanity that she shamed to prize A world conditioned thus, or care for breath Where Nature such dilemmas could devise.

# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/Her Initials

HER INITIALS
UPON a poet's page I wrote Of old two letters of her name; Part seemed she of the effulgent thought Whence that high singer's rapture came. —When now I turn the leaf the same Immortal light illumes the lay But from the letters of her name The radiance has died away.

# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/In a Eweleaze near Weatherbury

IN A EWELEAZE NEAR WEATHERBURY
THE years have gathered grayly Since I danced upon this leaze With one who kindled gayly Love's fitful ecstasies! But despite the term as teacher, I remain what I was then In each essential feature Of the fantasies of men.
Yet I note the little chisel Of ever-napping Time,
Defacing ghast and grizzel The blazon of my prime. When at night he thinks me sleeping, I feel him boring sly Within my bones, and heaping Quaintest pains for by-and-by.
Still, I'd go the world with Beauty, I would laugh with her and sing, I would shun divinest duty To resume her worshipping. But she'd scorn my brave endeavor, She would not balm the breeze By murnuring "Thine for ever!" As she did upon this leaze.

# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/At an Inn

AT AN INN
WHEN we as strangers sought Their catering care, Veiled smiles bespoke their thought Of what we were. They warmed as they opined Us more than friends— That we had all resigned For love's dear ends.
And that swift sympathy With living love
Which quicks the world—maybe The spheres above, Made them our ministers, Moved them to say, "Ah, God, that bliss like theirs Would flush our day!"
And we were left alone As Love's own pair; Yet never the love-light shone Between us there! But that which chilled the breath Of afternoon, And palsied unto death The pane-fly's tune.
The kiss their zeal foretold, And now deemed come, Came not: within his hold Love lingered numb. Why cast he on our port A bloom not ours? Why shaped us for his sport In after-hours?
As we seemed we were not That day afar, And now we seem not what We aching are. O severing sea and land, O laws of men, Ere death, once let us stand As we stood then!
# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/Her Immortality

HER IMMORTALITY
UPON a noon I pilgrimed through A pasture, mile by mile, Unto the place where I last saw My dead Love's living smile.
And sorrowing I lay me down Upon the heated sod: It seemed as if my body pressed The very ground she trod.
I lay, and thought; and in a trance She came and stood me by— The same, even to the marvellous ray That used to light her eye.
"You draw me, and I come to you, My faithful one," she said, In voice that had the moving tone It bore in maidenhead.
She said: "'Tis seven years since I died: Few now remember me; My husband clasps another bride; My children mothers she.
"My brethren, sisters, and my friends Care not to meet my sprite: Who prized me most I did not know Till I passed down from sight."
I said: "My days are lonely here; I need thy smile alway; I'll use this night my ball or blade, And join thee ere the day."
A tremor stirred her tender lips, Which parted to dissuade: “That cannot be, O friend," she cried; “Think, I am but a Shade!
"A Shade but in its mindful ones Has immortality; By living, me you keep alive, By dying you slay me.
"In you resides my single power Of sweet continuance here; On your fidelity I count Through many a coming year."
—I started through me at her plight, So suddenly confessed: Dismissing late distaste for life, I craved its bleak unrest.
"I will not die, my One of all!— To lengthen out thy days I'll guard me from minutest harms That may invest my ways!"
She smiled and went. Since then she comes Oft when her birth-moon climbs, Or at the seasons' ingresses Or anniversary times;
But grows my grief. When I surcease, Through whom alone lives she, Ceases my Love, her words, her ways, Never again to be!
# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/Hap

HAP
IF but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh: "Thou suffering thing, Know that thy sorrow is my ecstasy, That thy love's loss is my hate's profiting!"
Then would I bear, and clench myself, and die, Steeled by the sense of ire unmerited; Half-cased, too, that a Powerfuller than I Had willed and meted me the tears I shed.
But not so. How arrives it joy lies slain, And why unblooms the best hope ever sown? —Crass Casualty obstructs the sun and rain, And dicing Time for gladness casts a moan. . . . These purblind Doomsters had as readily strown Blisses about my pilgrimage as pain.

# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/Ditty

DITTY
(e. l. g.)
BENEATH a knap where flown Nestlings play, Within walls of weathered stone, Far away From the files of formal houses, By the bough the firstling browses, Lives a Sweet: no merchants meet, No man barters, no man sells Where she dwells.
Upon that fabric fair “Here is she!" Seems written everywhere Unto me. But to friends and nodding neighbors, Fellow wights in lot and labors, Who descry the times as I, No such lucid legend tells Where she dwells.
Should I lapse to what I was In days by— (Such cannot be, but because Some loves die Let me feign it)—none would notice That where she I know by rote is Spread a strange and withering change, Like a drying of the wells Where she dwells.
To feel I might have kissed— Loved as true— Otherwhere, nor Mine have missed My life through,
Had I never wandered near her, Is a smart severe—severer In the thought that she is nought, Even as I, beyond the dells Where she dwells.
And Devotion droops her glance To recall What bond-servants of Chance We are all. I but found her in that, going On my errant path unknowing, I did not out-skirt the spot That no spot on earth excels— Where she dwells!

United States Supreme Court
63 U.S. 406
United States v. Pico
This is an appeal from a decree of the Circuit Court of the United States for the northern district of California.
The appellee presented to the board of commissioners a claim for eleven square leagues of land, known by the name Moquelamos, situate in the county of Calaveras, California. The board rejected the claim; but, on appeal to the District Court, and the production of some further proof, that court affirmed it.
The preliminary proceedings required by the regulations of 1828, before a grant of the public lands, were not produced, if any existed. The only evidence of the title is a grant of the tract by a formal title to the claimant, dated Los Angeles, 6th June, 1846, signed by the Governor, Pio Pico, and J. M. Moreno, the Secretary of State, and two other papers, relied on as furnishing proof that the grant was approved by the Departmental Assembly. One of them is a certificate to that effect of the Governor and Secretary, bearing date 15th June, 1846; the other purports to be a communication from N. Botello, deputy secretary of the Departmental Assembly, of the approval, to Moreno, Secretary of State, for the information of the Governor. This approval, according to the deputy secretary of the Assembly, was in a session held on the 15th July, 1846. The paper was found among the Mexican archives.
The other documents-the grant and certificate of approval came from the hands of the claimant. No record of them was found among the Mexican archives or in any book, nor is there any evidence of possession or occupation deserving notice or consideration.
The case falls within the principles and is governed by the views of the court in the case of the United States v. Teschmaker and others, decided at this term. Besides the suspicious character of the grant, it appears to be wholly destitute of merit.
The decree below reversed, and the case remanded for further evidence.
