# Modern Russian Poetry/Twilight

Written in 1835, first published in 1879.
TWILIGHT
Soft the dove-hued shadows mingle,
Color fades, sound droops to sleep.
Life and motion melt to darkness
Swaying murmurs far and deep.
But the night moth's languid flitting
Stirs the air invisibly:
Oh, the hour of wordless longing;
I in all, and all in me.
Twilight—tranquil, brooding twilight,
Course through me, serene and smooth;
Quiet, languid, fragrant twilight,
Flood all depths, all sorrows soothe,
Every sense in dark and cooling
Self-forgetfulness immerse,—
Grant that I may taste extinction
In the dreaming universe.

# Modern Russian Poetry/Verses Written During a Sleepless Night

VERSES WRITTEN DURING A SLEEPLESS NIGHT
Sleep I cannot find, nor light:
Everywhere is dark and slumber,
Only weary tickings number
The slow hours of the night.
Parca, jabbering, woman-fashion,
Sleeping night, without compassion,
Life, who stirs like rustling mice,
Why encage me in thy vise?
Why the whispering insistence,—
Art thou but the pale persistence
Of a day departed twice?
What black failures dost thou reckon?
Dost thou prophesy or beckon?
I would know whence thou art sprung,
I would study thy dark tongue . . .

# Modern Russian Poetry/Vyacheslav Ivanov

Vyacheslav Ivanov
(Born 1866)
Ivanov's life was not one to "hurry to a sphere, and show, and end." Rather, its fruit slower grew, and later hung. He began to write at the age of thirty-seven, after having spent half as many years abroad as a student, and joined the ranks of the symbolists. He learned antiquity from "Mommsen, Athens and Rome," and modernity from Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky. A curious feature of Ivanov's thinking is a synthesis of Dionysos and Christ, which is characteristic of the Greek revival in Russia, and which is attested to in his profound treatise on "The Hellenic Religion of the Suffering God." His exquisite art feeds on the Dionysian grape, but this has a sacramental flavor, and strangely through the features of his Dionyscs shows the effigy of a tragic Christ. To him religion is the very stuff of culture, and art a myth-making, and eren a theurgic power. Unlike his older fellow-symbolists, he builds not upon individualism, but upon the principle of sobornost, or communal religious expression suggestive of Vachel Lindsay's creed. He has the mentality and the manner of a mystagogue and a pontiff.
Ivanov's poetry is caviar to the general. His Pegasus is caparisoned with abstruse erudition and weighed down with intricate thought. Yet a limpid, golden beauty triumphs over the shadows in many lyrics. These are cast in the pure Grecian mold, these burn with "Æ" 's spiritual flame, and these are the ordered ecstasies of a Francis Thompson. His latest poems are a cycle of Winter Sonnets—written in blockaded Petrograd in 1920—filled with the sadness of resignation to loss and change.
# Modern Russian Poetry/Vasily Bashkin

Vasily Bashkin
(c. 1880-1909)
In his prose Bashkin chronicled the career of Russia's radical intellectuals, and as a poet he acted the part of a tame Tirtæus in the camp of the revolution. He was cut off by tuberculosis early in life.
# Modern Russian Poetry/Yakov Polonsky

Yakov Polonsky
(1819-1898)
The routine of Polonsky's uneventful life was compounded of teaching, editorial work and long years of service in the censorship department. It is true that he traveled abroad and spent some years in the Caucasus, but this did not interrupt the even tenor of his ways.
He was a prolific fiction writer, yet it is as a poet that he lives in the memory of his compatriots. His poetry itself has been charged with being "lukewarm and neither cold nor hot." It lacks, it has been said, that cosmic nostalgia and civic consciousness which belong to Russian poetry. Indeed Polonsky's poetic effigy is rather unheroic and indistinct in outline. Yet he has the virtues of his defects. His work is distinguished by its homeliness. It keeps to the lighted circle of our familiar and familial life, and foregoes power and passion for intimacy and charm.
# Modern Russian Poetry/Yarila

YARILA
First to sharpen the ax-flint they bent,
On the green they had gathered, unpent,
They had gathered beneath the green tent.
There where whitens a pale tree-trunk, naked,
There where whitens a pale linden trunk.
By the linden tree, by the young linden,
By the linden tree, by the young linden,
The linden trunk
White and naked.
At the fore, shaggy, lean, hoar of head,
Moves the wizard, as old as his runes;
He has lived over two thousand moons.
And the ax he inhumed.
From the far lakes he loomed
Long ago.
It is his: at the trunk
The first blow.
And two priestesses in their tenth Spring
To the old one they bring.
In their eyes
Terror lies.
Like the trunk their young bodies are bright,
Their wan white
Hath she only, the tender young linden.
One he took, one he led,
To the trunk roughly wed,
A white bride.
And the ax rose and hissed— And a voice was upraised
And then died.
Thus the first blow was dealt to the trunk.
Others followed him, others upraised
That age-old bloody ax,
That keen flint-bladed ax:
The flesh once,
The tree twice
Fiercely cleaving.
And the trunk reddened fast
And it took on a face.
Lo,—this notch—is a nose,
This—an eye, for the nonce.
The flesh once,
The trunk twice— Till all reddened the rise
And the grass crimsoned deep.
On the sod
In the red stains there lies
A new god.

# Modern Russian Poetry/Work

WORK
Here is the long-bided hour: the labor of years is accom-
plished.
Why should this sadness unplumbed secretly weigh on
my heart?
Is it, my work being done, I stand like a laborer, useless,
One who has taken his pay, alien to unwonted tasks?
Is it the work I regret, the silent companion of midnight,
Friend of the golden-haired Dawn, friend of the gods
of the hearth?

# Modern Russian Poetry/Vladimir Solovyov

Vladimir Solovyov
(1853-1900)
Coming from a family of scholars and churchmen, Solovyov was himself a mystic and visionary: an alien seed in an exorcised age. He was a cross between a Bohemian and a lay monk, whose asceticism only emphasized his powerfully erotic nature. A spirit dedicated to the creation of the greatest philosophical system which Russia has given to the world was fain to express itself also in poetry. His one slender volume of lyrics has the quality of soaring spirituality, and is generally engaged with a supersensuous reality, occasionally broken by irruptions of spasmodic comedy. It is largely centered about the concept of the Eternal Feminine, which also plays an important part in his grandiose religious system. He conceives it not as Aphrodite, but rather as Sophia: Divine Wisdom.
This feminine principle materialized itself for the mystic in a Dantesque experience. In a reminiscential poem written eight years before his death, he relates how, as a boy of nine, he first glimpsed his Eternal Mate. This was in Moscow; he next sees her in the reading-room of the British Museum thirteen years later, as he bends over volumes of abstruse mystical literature. She bids him follow her to Egypt. It is a biographic fact that the young Dozent traveled across the continent to Cairo, and went afoot into the desert, where he beheld his beatific vision for the last time.
# Modern Russian Poetry/Victor Hofman

Victor Hofman
(1882-1911)
Hofman has to his credit some short stories and two books of lyrics, the second of which appeared two years before his suicide in Paris.

# NCDC Storm Data for the 1976 Brownwood tornado

The National Climatic Data Center’s finalized damage survey and publication for the 1976 Brownwood tornado.
| Place | Date | Time - Local Standard | Length of Path (Miles) | Width of Path (Yards) | Killed | Injured | Property | Crops | Character of Storm |
| Brownwood area, Brown County | 19 | 5:30p - 5:50p | 10 | *1/4 | 0 | 11 | 6 | ? | Tornado and Funnel Cloud |
The intense tornado, which developed from an isolated thunderstorm, was in the formative stage when sporadic damage was reported between Bangs and Brownwood near Highway 67. A visible tornado, described as large and cylindrical, was evident when the storm reached Highway 279 about 4 miles northwest of downtown Brownwood. Outbuildings, a motorcycle race track, and a parked car were destroyed in this area. The storm continued along a northeasterly course while shredding mesquite trees on both sides of a small hill. About 5 miles north of the downtown area, the tornado passed over FM 2125 into the A.I. Fabis pecan orchard and farm. A row of 4 houses and several outbuildings were leveled on the farm. All of the injuries occurred in the housing area. Two teen-agers were thrown about 1000 yards when caught in the open upon returning from fishing in Lake Brownwood. Miraculously, both survived. Fabis, who owned the houses and heavily damaged orchard, narrowly escaped death when the storm blew his frame house away. Fabis was huddling near his bathtub, listening to the radio storm warnings when the tornado struck. Only Fabis and the bathtub he had a firm grip on remained on the foundation after the storm passed.
The tornado next struck the Brownwood Airport, north-northeast of the city Highway 183. A set of the T-hangars and 6 private airplanes were devastated. Luckily, the tornado arced around a large hangar where several airport workers had taken refuge. About ½ mile northeast of Highway 183, the tornado lifted.

A total of about 300 homes were destroyed and 2100 others damaged. Most of the downtown business section was destroyed or heavily damaged, and two nearby colleges received almost total destruction to many of their campus buildings. The Xenia High School was destroyed. An entire furniture manufacturing company, most of a foundry, and machine company were laid to ruin. The telephone company estimated total damage to its equipment of about $2 million dollars and the Dayton Power and Light Company reported approximately $1.4 million dollars in damage. The path of destruction varied from one-quarter to one-half mile wide. Reports of heavy rain and golf ball sized hail accompanied the tornado.

# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume I/Confessions/Book XII/Chapter 24

Chapter XXIV.—Out of the Many True Things, It is Not Asserted Confidently that Moses Understood This or That.
33. But which of us, amid so many truths which occur to inquirers in these words, understood as they are in different ways, shall so discover that one interpretation as to confidently say “that Moses thought this,” and “that in that narrative he wished this to be understood,” as confidently as he says “that this is true,” whether he thought this thing or the other? For behold, O my God, I Thy servant, who in this book have vowed unto Thee a sacrifice of confession, and beseech Thee that of Thy mercy I may pay my vows unto Thee, behold, can I, as I confidently assert that Thou in Thy immutable word hast created all things, invisible and visible, with equal confidence assert that Moses meant nothing else than this when he wrote, “In the beginning God created. the heaven and the earth.” No. Because it is not as clear to me that this was in his mind when he wrote these things, as I see it to be certain in Thy truth. For his thoughts might be set upon the very beginning of the creation when he said, “In the beginning;” and he might wish it to be understood that, in this place, “the heaven and the earth” were no formed and perfected nature, whether spiritual or corporeal, but each of them newly begun, and as yet formless. Because I see, that which-soever of these had been said, it might have been said truly; but which of them he may have thought in these words, I do not so perceive. Although, whether it were one of these, or some other meaning which has not been mentioned by me, that this great man saw in his mind when he used these words, I make no doubt but that he saw it truly, and expressed it suitably.

## Footnotes

* ↑ Ps. xxii. 25.
* ↑ It is curious to note here Fichte’s strange idea (Anweisung zum seligen Leben, Werke, v. 479), that St. John, at the commencement of his Gospel, in his teaching as to the “Word,” intended to confute the Mosaic statement, which Fichte—since it ran counter to that idea of “the absolute” which he made the point of departure in his philosophy—antagonizes as a heathen and Jewish error. On “In the Beginning,” see p. 166, note 2, above.
