* Case Syllabus
* Per Curiam Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
393 U.S. 398
Gorun v. Fall
The motion to affirm is granted and the judgment is affirmed.
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, with whom Mr. Justice BLACK, Mr. Justice HARLAN, and Mr. Justice FORTAS concur.
Appellants are nonresident aliens living in Romania who were named as beneficiaries of an estate being probated in Montana. It has been assumed for the purpose of this appeal that they will receive from that estate unless prevented by the Montana reciprocal inheritance statute (Mont.Rev.Codes Ann. § 91-520) which would condition their distribution upon a showing that Romania similarly allows citizens of this country to receive, and to enjoy here, property bequeathed in Romania. While the estate was being administered in the state courts of Montana, appellants filed this complaint to have the three-judge court declare the statute unconstitutional and to enjoin its application. After issue was joined, they moved for summary judgment on the authority of Zschernig v. Miller, 389 U.S. 429, 88 S.Ct. 664, 19 L.Ed.2d 683, in which we struck down the Oregon reciprocal inheritance statute as an impermissible interference with federal power over foreign affairs.
Federal policy permits the free flow of funds to Romania. On March 30, 1960, the United States into an agreement with Romania, by which we agreed to release all blocked assets belonging to Romania. See 25 Fed.Reg. 3458.
At the same time, Romania was removed from the list of countries to which the sending of public funds is prohibited. See 25 Fed.Reg. 3526; 31 CFR § 211.2. As our opinion in Zschernig makes clear, a state probate judge is not authorized to make or apply a probate rule contrary to that federal policy.
The three-judge court dismissed the complaint, saying: '[T]he Montana court now advised by Zschernig of the boundaries of the constitutional power of the state * * * should be free to fashion a procedure for applying R.C.M. 1947, § 91-520, in a manner not offensive to the Federal Constitution.' 287 F.Supp. 725, 728.
While the four of us have no objection to summary disposition of this appeal, dismissal seems singularly inappropriate in light of our recent decisions saying over and over again that a federal claim in a federal court should be decided by the federal court and not relegated to a state tribunal. See Zwickler v. Koota, 389 U.S. 241, 250-252, 88 S.Ct. 391, 19 L.Ed.2d 444. In spite of our aversion to abstention, see id., at 248-249, 88 S.Ct., at 395-396; Dombrowski v. Pfister, 380 U.S. 479, 486-487, 85 S.Ct. 1116, 14 L.Ed.2d 22, it would be better judicial administration to hold the federal case, pending resolution of the state proceeding, than to dismiss it in the face of clear-cut federal policy in favor of the claim of appellants. Cf. Kaiser Steel Corp. v. W. S. Ranch Co., 391 U.S. 593, 88 S.Ct. 1753, 20 L.Ed.2d 835.

Goslee v. Shute
This was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Louisiana.
The facts of the case are stated in the opinion of the court.
The district court held that both boats were in fault, and divided the damages, and ordered judgment to be entered against The Magnolia for $17,900.
From this decision both parties appealed to the circuit court, where the judgment of the district court was reversed, and the libel dismissed with costs. The libellants, who were owners of The Autocrat, appealed to this court.
It was argued by Mr. Sargent and Mr. Crittenden, for the appellants, on whose side was also filed an argument by Mr. Pike. For the appellees, it was argued by Mr. Benjamin.
Mr. Justice McLEAN delivered the opinion of the court.

# Verses (Baughan)/The Unknown Quest

THE UNKNOWN QUEST
The pines stand up in strong tranquillity, The smooth air sleeps like water in a well; But rest comes never to this restless Sea, Still heaving with the old incessant swell, Still clamouring with the old incessant cry. Thou hast no peace, O Sea! No peace have I!
Nought else is uncontent this happy day; Even the sky, thy lover, full and tense With palpable glee, forgets, and can be gay; But thou rememberest! That unquiet sense No sun, no windless weather may appease, No calm allay that cry, and let it cease.
​And thro’ that ever-importuning voice, My soul divines and claims a sister-soul, That, clothed upon with whatsoever joys, Finds never freedom from the stern control Of that same dark and irresistible Force Me also driving on a chartless course.
I would not fling away my life, God knows, But―should this rock lean over...should I fall, Sink, rise...then feel thine arms about me close, Feel this my life ta’en from me, once for all: I. so I faced and found thatO my Sea, To what a haven wouldst thou have guided me!
What craving, dost thou clamour day and night? Seeking for what, can I desire life past? Death! Death! within thy dark shall we find light, And, ’mid thy void, our certain goal at last?— Find, as it were, some once-familiar Breast That will regather us—and so find rest?
# Verses (Baughan)/The Summons

THE SUMMONS
“Leave the broad sunshine, and the pleasant plain; Seek thou the o’erclouded height!” Great was the voice that call’d. I rose, and went Out from the light That makes the happy valleys laugh; I left Glad homes and children’s prattle all behind; And, climbing up the hillside, a sheer cleft, Pine-clad and dark, did find.
What mystery Divine, what unknown calm Made awful that dim air! Twilight’s deep wings, laid tenderly above, Held silence there. Birds in the valley caroll’d. I lay still. Vague stirrings of some giant soul possess’d My soul with its vast Life’s tumultuous thrill— How much more sweet than rest!
# Verses (Baughan)/The Terrace

THE TERRACE
“Mentem mortalia tangunt.”
The Terrace is full of sun, And holds warm air. Invalids, day by day, Take refuge there.
Here stands one in his prime, And begs for breath. Yonder a fair girl walks In step with Death.
Children move here on crutches; Some, not at all. None are too grown to be ill, And none too small.—
—Among the dying babies And dying men, The merry crocuses bloom; Spring’s back again!
# Verses (Baughan)/To Night

TO NIGHT
Wrap me round with thine arms, O Mother! Take my head to thy dim, deep bosom, Dark and mighty Mother of mine. Rest me a moment—I am tired, Mother mine!
These dull tears that keep welling, welling, Kiss them back! And this hard, hot forehead, Calm and patient Mother of mine, Let thy cool palm soothe and loosen, Mother mine!
This heart-aching, these cares, this weakness, Draw them off—they are harsh and heavy, Dewy-handed Mother of mine! Lave me in purity, lap me in freshness, Mother mine!
​Sing, now! Open my spirit’s portals Wide; all the bustling thoughts lure outward, Dulcet-breathing Mother of mine! With melodious quiet lull me, Mother mine!
Sow the dear dreams thick on mine eyelids, Fold my face in thy neck—O Mother, Strong and tender Mother of mine; I am thy child, and thou art my Mother, Mother mine!
# Verses (Baughan)/The Neighbour

THE NEIGHBOUR
[“῾Ιν᾽ αὐτὸς ἦν πρόσουρος.”—Sophocles.]
“Lonely, lonely, O life!” I said, “This path thou givest me to tread, Sadly I watch my fellow-kind Along the level roadway wind, Step mating step, and arms entwined. I from my uphill rut may see How readily, for weal, for woe, They win and render sympathy; But I for ever friendless go”— Saith a small voice: “Oh, say not so! Hast thou not me?”
​“Give me but leave to play my part, And be consoled, thou sick at heart! Ay, upon dreary errands sent With wrested will, and footsteps bent Into a byway, be content! One is but one, two make a world; And two may laugh where one must weep. Whither is bubble Sorrow whirl’d When half is given a friend to keep? Give me my half, whose life so deep In thine lies furl’d!
“Hast heavy trouble? I, too, bear it! Fugitive joy? Yet I, too, share it! The dull ache of the listless sense, The fretted fire, the want immense, The rending passion, the pang intense— Friend! I know all their influence, Comrade! take heart!” ​O subtle bliss, O Hope, thro’ desolation stealing Like water thro’ a wilderness With comfort and delicious healing! Who renders me such fellow-feeling? —My own self ’tis!
# Verses (Baughan)/The Pool and the Kingfisher

THE POOL AND THE KINGFISHER
A deep Pool lay within a forest dark. No grass grew on its brim, No sun, no swallow knew the place; it was Vacant and drear and dim.
Thither, one day, a gem-bright Kingfisher O, as the blue seas bright! Swept, with a flash that waked the swooning air, And smote the dark to light.
And the sad Pool rejoiced, and said: “At last Comes lightly to my breast The natural lord of its unrifled deeps,— And O, the glorious Guest!
​“Now my perpetual pall of murky days What secret Sun will line! Now all my shadows shall with light be sped, Or, lingering, learn to shine.
“And ye, charged Clouds, ye shall but gladden me Now, with your rainbow rain!” —The Bird was flying to his nest, far off, And never came again.
# Verses (Baughan)/The Briar Rose

THE BRIAR-ROSE
(After the Picture-series by Sir Edward Burne-Jones.)
’Tis the latest day of the latest year, And the latest hour of the latest day. The wan light swooneth as with fear Around Truth’s prison hoary-grey; Sweet Lady, she, and loved right dear— But ah, the Briars, The Thorns and Briars!
And to-night the stealthy Briars mean death To Truth so long in thraldom pent; This night, to suck her struggling breath The last malignant shoot is sent. ​And where is the love that delivereth From the cunning Briars, The clinging Briars?
Many have loved her, in many a guise, From many a realm of heart and soul; Each and all with one wisdom wise, For they turn’d their steps to the one same goal, One quest deepen’d their wistful eyes— But (oh, the Briars, The mighty Briars!)
One was the guerdon Fate decreed! —Still, still, the unpenetrated wails Lie safe (alas! may none succeed?) Safe! and a foul joy writhes and crawls In them that on the dead men feed, The lusty Briars, The full-fed Briars.
​Day dies; Truth dies! But who is this? O warrior, O latecoming Knight, Welcome! . . . Ah, will he win or miss? Calm are those eyes that burn so bright, Helm’d are those brows with stedfastness, Take heed, ye Briars, Ye flaunting Briars!
See! see! what tho’ his hand is torn, His lifted face with bloodstains wet, What tho’ the thirsty spikes of thorn Weave him a ghastly carcanet— Steadily are his footsteps set Amid the Briars, And thro’ the Briars. . . .
O glorious Knight, securely brave! Gain’d is the great oak door at last! . . . Now anew he buffets the biting wave. . . . The porch is pass’d, and the courtyard pass’d. ​Yet round him—Christ! how the Briars rave, The snaky Briars, The venom’d Briars!
Now he treadeth the first high hall, Where Judge and Poet, Scholar and King, Loll in the web of a subtle thrall, Stifled by wreaths that catch and cling. Ay, catch and cling, for ye soon shall fall, Ye cozening Briars, Ye choking Briars!
What of the inner chamber there? . . . O pitiful chamber, place of ruth! Paven all with maidens fair, Strewn with the bodyguard of Truth, Caught, at her door, in the dreamy snare Of the kissing Briars, The smothering Briars!
​Ah, Wisdom and fair Innocence, Bound so fast in easeless ease! Yet, holy heart, and love immense, Linger not here to succour these; Love Truth before her votaries! On, thro’ the Briars, The desperate Briars!
Oh, falter not, but set her free! Break, break the Briars that round her twine! Pierce they thy heart? What’s that to thee? Welcome thou death, so life may shine From Truth’s eyes, lifted gloriously O’er the blossom’d Briars, The sweet Rose-Briars!
# Verses (Baughan)/To Life

TO LIFE
O life, mysterious! looking down On me, with pregnant brows that frown, Lock’d lips that smile: I ask not what is meted me, The issues of my destiny If proud or vile;
Sorrow, or joy, my course control— What matter? so thou grant my soul Sure sight and keen; That she may throughly penetrate Each curse, each blessing; soon or late Grasp all they mean!
# Verses (Baughan)/The Brink of Battle

THE BRINK OF BATTLE
Yon mute grandeur of the midnight Heaven Hangs like some dread destiny o’erhead. Earth is dumb with awe, the air is stricken Voiceless; light ts over, day is dead. Only do my footsteps break the silence, Trampling peace beneath their restless tread;
Only do my thoughts go whirling, whirling, ’Mid the stillness in tempestuous rush, Like a thousand emulous warriors surging Heavily against this world-wide hush— Heavily! O God! have they not power Twenty human hearts like mine to crush?
​What is it that arms them? Is it sorrow Or remorse has made their shafts so keen? Have their arrows drunk of foil’d ambition’s Bitter poison? Or hath mad doubt been Forger of their weapons? Neither; only This same quiet, plain accustom’d scene.
Just these four red walls, this closed quadrangle! Nothing lovely in it, saving peace, Save security, and unstorm’d shelter. O harsh world, O pain that cannot cease, Even ere your fetters fasten round me, Cries my captive heart: “Release! Release!”
Cries, and sickens with a desperate longing, Even now, in thought of what will be, For this vision of pure calm untroubled. Eyes of mine! look, drink it in, O see Everything, miss nothing! This may solace (Who knows?) days and nights of misery.
​—Moonlight suddenly! And behold! above me Shine the four stone Faces, white and stern, From the dark wall: Molière, and Dante, Æschylus and Shakespeare—souls that yearn Still, perhaps, for love and light and knowledge, Or, perhaps—who knows what they discern?
They lived once on earth, these men, with foreheads Stamp’d by some high quest’s tremendous toil, And wide eyes, intent to pierce the darkness With an earnestness no fear could foil. Ay, and, living, to what pain, what terror, Paid their hearts the tribute of recoil?
Yet how fathomless, O God! the anguish Needed to produce Thee souls so grand! They accepted all; and from my pittance Dare I shrink? No, never! from Thy hand, See! I snatch my orders to Life’s battle, Seize my chance to suffer and to stand!
# Verses (Baughan)/The Ishmaelite

THE ISHMAELITE
Some men have souls like gardens,— Fair plots of fruitful ground, Smooth lawns and ways well-order’d, With chosen blossoms border’d, And walls to fence them round.
O still and safe and fragrant! Kind homes of peace and love! All things uncouth excluding, Free only to the brooding Of the great sky above!
​’Tis said, by Angel-footsteps Such garden-paths are trod— Angels, the sky forsaking, Tend every blossom, making A pleasure-place for God.
—I have walk’d in some such garden. How well it was, how meet! Yet, down each alley shining, With tears I wander’d, pining For wild things round my feet!
Sweeter than thrush or robin, To me, the seagull’s scream; Fairer the blacken’d heather That fronts the bleak moor-weather, Than that soft garden-dream.
​Oh, peace is not so precious, Perchance, as is distress! Forbid Thine Angels, Father, To tend me—keep Thou rather One unwall’d wilderness!

350 U.S. 356
Gibson v. Lockheed Aircraft Service
Argued: Dec. 5, 6, 1955. --- Decided: Feb 27, 1956
Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER, concurring.
The controlling claim on which petitioner sought certiorari was that the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit disclosed conflict and confusion among the circuits in the application of Rule 51 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We granted the petition. A critical examination of the 118 decisions on which the petitioner relied in his claim regarding Rule 51 convinces me that there was no such conflict and confusion. Therefore, for the reasons set forth by Mr. Chief Justice Taft on behalf of the Court in Layne & Bowler Corp. v. Western Well Works, Inc., 261 U.S. 387, 43 S.Ct. 422, 67 L.Ed. 712, the writ should be dismissed as improvidently granted even though full argument has been had. But my brethren find that certain rulings of the Court of Appeals involving ordinary questions in the law of negligence, which by themselves never would have warranted the granting of a writ, are so obviously and injuriously erroneous, 'as to call for an exercise of this court's power of supervision.' This is of course one of the considerations within our Rule governing review on certiorari. Rule 19(1)(b), 28 U.S.C.A. I accept their reading of the record and therefore join in the judgment of the Court.

* Wikipedia article
Mr. Justice BLACK, concurring.
I concur in the Court's opinion and judgment reversing the judgment of the Supreme Court of Florida although, for substantially the same reasons stated by Mr. Justice DOUGLAS in his concurring opinion, I would prefer to reach our decision by a different approach. I agree with Mr. Justice DOUGLAS that the Fourteenth Amendment makes the First Amendment applicable to the States and protects the freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition from state abridgment with the same force and to the same degree that the First Amendment protects them from federal abridgment. That, as the cases cited by Mr. Justice DOUGLAS show, is what this Court has previously held. I agree also that these Amendments encompass freedom of the people to associate in an infinite number of organizations including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which petitioner here was president at the time it was under investigation by the Florida committee. In my view the constitutional right of association includes the privilege of any person to associate with Communists or anti-Communists, Socialists or anti-Socialists, or, for that matter, with people of all kinds of beliefs, popular or unpopular. I have expressed these views in many other cases and I adhere to them now. Since, as I believe, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its members have a constitutional right to choose their own associates, I cannot understand by what constitutional authority Florida can compel answers to questions which abridge that right. Accordingly, I would reverse here on the ground that there has been a direct abridgment of the right of association of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its members. But, since the Court assumes for purposes of this case that there was no direct abridgment of First Amendment freedoms, I concur in the Court's opinion, which is based on constitutional principles laid down in Schneider v. Irvington, 308 U.S. 147, 161, 60 S.Ct. 146, 150, 84 L.Ed. 155 (1939), and later cases of this Court following Schneider.
