​SULINA, a town in Rumania, at the mouth of the Sulina branch of the Danube. Pop. (1900), 5611. Sulina is the only free port on the Danube, and is much used for the transhipment into seagoing vessels of grain which is brought down the river in large lighters from Rumania, Russia, Bulgaria, Servia and Austria-Hungary. No agricultural produce is grown in its neighbourhood, owing to the reed-covered swamps with which it is surrounded. Sulina is the headquarters of the technical department of the European Commission of the Danube (q.v.). Large steamers navigate up to Galatz and Braila. In roof, 1411 steamers and sailing craft aggregating 1,830,000 tons register cleared from Sulina for European ports carrying, besides other merchandise, nearly 13,000,000 quarters of grain. Owing to the improvements effected by the European Commission, there is a depth of 24 ft. of water on the bar, and of 18 to 22 ft. in the fairway. A lighthouse overlooks the estuary. The town contains the only English church in Rumania.

​SULLY, THOMAS (1783–1872), American artist, was born at Horncastle, England, on the 8th of June 1783. His parents, who were actors, took him to America when he was nine years old, settling at Charleston, South Carolina, and he was first instructed in art by a French miniature painter. Afterwards he was a ​pupil of Gilbert Stuart in Boston, and in 1809 he went to London and entered the studio of Benjamin West. He returned in 1810, and made Philadelphia his home, but in 1837 again visited London, where he painted a full length portrait of Queen Victoria for the St George's Society of Philadelphia. Sully was one of the best of the early American painters. He died in Philadelphia on the 5th of November 1872. Among his portraits are those of Commodore Decatur (City Hall, New York); the actor George Frederick Cooke, as Richard III. (Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadephia) ; Lafayette (Independence Hall); Thomas Jefferson (U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York); Charles and Frances Anne Kemble, and Reverdy Johnson. His son Alfred Sully (1821–1879) an officer in the United States army, was a brigade-commander in the Army of the Potomac in 1862–63, and after 1863 commanded the department of Dakota and conducted several campaigns against hostile Indians in the north-west. In 1865 he was breveted brigadier-general in the regular army and major-general of volunteers.

​SULLIVAN, THOMAS BARRY (1824–1891), Irish actor, was born at Birmingham, and made his first stage appearance at Cork about 1840. His earliest successes were in romantic drama, for which his graceful figure and youthful enthusiasm fitted him. His first London appearance was in 1852 in Hamlet, and he was also successful as Angiolo in Miss Vandenhoff’s Woman’s Heart, Evelyn in Money and Hardman in Lord Lytton’s Not so Bad as we Seem. Claude Melnotte—with Helen Faucit as Pauline—was also a notable performance. A tour of America in 1857 preceded his going to Australia (1861) for six years, as actor and manager. He completed a trip round the world in 1866. From 1868–1870 he managed the Holbom theatre, where Beverley in The Gamester was one of his most powerful impersonations. Afterwards he travelled over the United States, Canada, Australia and England. Among his later London performances were several Shakespearian parts, his best, perhaps, being Richard III. He was the Benedick of the cast of Much Ado About Nothing with which the Shakespeare Memorial was opened at Stratford-on-Avon. He died on the 3rd of May 1891.

See also Sulitelma on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SULITELMA, a mountain on the frontier between Norway and Sweden, forming a salient (6158 ft.) of the Kjöl or “keel” of the Scandinavian peninsula. The mass, composed of three peaks, is situated in 67° 10′ N., and covered with a snow-field from which many glaciers descend. In these rise feeders of the Swedish rivers Lilla Lule and Pite, flowing south-east. Westward, the foothills descend upon the Skjerstad Fjord, above which are two lakes, Nedre and Ovre Vand. From Sjönstaa steamers on the Langvand and a light railway give communication between the sea and Furulund, the headquarters of the Swedish Sulitelma Mining Company. A mountain track descends from Sulitelma to Kvickjock (or Kvikkjokk), a considerable village magnificently situated on the Tarrajock, a head-stream of the Lilla Lule. This is distant three days’ journey on foot from Furulund.
# A Century of Roundels/The Lute and the Lyre

THE LUTE AND THE LYRE.
Deep desire, that pierces heart and spirit to the root, Finds reluctant voice in verse that yearns like soaring fire, Takes exultant voice when music holds in high pursuit Deep desire.
Keen as burns the passion of the rose whose buds respire, Strong as grows the yearning of the blossom toward the fruit, Sounds the secret half unspoken ere the deep tones tire.
Slow subsides the rapture that possessed love's flower-soft lute, Slow the palpitation of the triumph of the lyre: Still the soul feels burn, a flame unslaked though these be mute, Deep desire.
# A Century of Roundels/Sleep

SLEEP.
Sleep, when a soul that her own clouds cover Wails that sorrow should always keep Watch, nor see in the gloom above her Sleep,
Down, through darkness naked and steep, Sinks, and the gifts of his grace recover Soon the soul, though her wound be deep.
God beloved of us, all men's lover, All most weary that smile or weep Feel thee afar or anear them hover, Sleep.
# A Century of Roundels/The Death of Richard Wagner

THE DEATH OF RICHARD WAGNER.
I.
Mourning on earth, as when dark hours descend, Wide-winged with plagues, from heaven; when hope and mirth Wane, and no lips rebuke or reprehend Mourning on earth.
The soul wherein her songs of death and birth, Darkness and light, were wont to sound and blend, Now silent, leaves the whole world less in worth.
Winds that make moan and triumph, skies that bend, Thunders, and sound of tides in gulf and firth, Spake through his spirit of speech, whose death should send Mourning on earth.
II.
The world's great heart, whence all things strange and rare Take form and sound, that each inseparate part May bear its burden in all tuned thoughts that share The world's great heart—
The fountain forces, whence like steeds that start Leap forth the powers of earth and fire and air, Seas that revolve and rivers that depart—
Spake, and were turned to song: yea, all they were, With all their works, found in his mastering art Speech as of powers whose uttered word laid bare The world's great heart.
III.
From the depths of the sea, from the wellsprings of earth, from the wastes of the midmost night, From the fountains of darkness and tempest and thunder, from heights where the soul would be, The spell of the mage of music evoked their sense, as an unknown light From the depths of the sea.
As a vision of heaven from the hollows of ocean, that none but a god might see, Rose out of the silence of things unknown of a presence, a form, a might, And we heard as a prophet that hears God's message against him, and may not flee.
Eye might not endure it, but ear and heart with a rapture of dark delight, With a terror and wonder whose core was joy, and a passion of thought set free, Felt inly the rising of doom divine as a sundawn risen to sight From the depths of the sea.
# A Century of Roundels/Sorrow

SORROW.
Sorrow, on wing through the world for ever, Here and there for awhile would borrow Rest, if rest might haply deliver Sorrow.
One thought lies close in her heart gnawn thorough With pain, a weed in a dried-up river, A rust-red share in an empty furrow.
Hearts that strain at her chain would sever The link where yesterday frets to-morrow: All things pass in the world, but never Sorrow.
# A Century of Roundels/The Roundel

THE ROUNDEL.
A roundel is wrought as a ring or a starbright sphere, With craft of delight and with cunning of sound unsought, That the heart of the hearer may smile if to pleasure his ear A roundel is wrought.
Its jewel of music is carven of all or of aught— Love, laughter, or mourning—remembrance of rapture or fear— That fancy may fashion to hang in the ear of thought.
As a bird's quick song runs round, and the hearts in us hear Pause answer to pause, and again the same strain caught, So moves the device whence, round as a pearl or tear, A roundel is wrought.
# A Century of Roundels/Three Faces

THREE FACES.
I.
VENTIMIGLIA.
The sky and sea glared hard and bright and blank: Down the one steep street, with slow steps firm and free, A tall girl paced, with eyes too proud to thank The sky and sea.
One dead flat sapphire, void of wrath or glee, Through bay on bay shone blind from bank to bank The weary Mediterranean, drear to see.
More deep, more living, shone her eyes that drank The breathless light and shed again on me, Till pale before their splendour waned and shrank The sky and sea.
II.
GENOA.
Again the same strange might of eyes, that saw In heaven and earth nought fairer, overcame My sight with rapture of reiterate awe, Again the same.
The self-same pulse of wonder shook like flame The spirit of sense within me: what strange law Had bid this be, for blessing or for blame?
To what veiled end that fate or chance foresaw Came forth this second sister face, that came Absolute, perfect, fair without a flaw, Again the same?
III.
VENICE.
Out of the dark pure twilight, where the stream Flows glimmering, streaked by many a birdlike bark That skims the gloom whence towers and bridges gleam Out of the dark,
Once more a face no glance might choose but mark Shone pale and bright, with eyes whose deep slow beam Made quick the twilight, lifeless else and stark.
The same it seemed, or mystery made it seem, As those before beholden; but St. Mark Ruled here the ways that showed it like a dream Out of the dark.
# A Century of Roundels/Time and Life

TIME AND LIFE.
I.
Time, thy name is sorrow, says the stricken Heart of life, laid waste with wasting flame Ere the change of things and thoughts requicken, Time, thy name.
Girt about with shadow, blind and lame, Ghosts of things that smite and thoughts that sicken Hunt and hound thee down to death and shame.
Eyes of hours whose paces halt or quicken Read in bloodred lines of loss and blame, Writ where cloud and darkness round it thicken, Time, thy name.
II.
Nay, but rest is born of me for healing, —So might haply time, with voice represt, Speak: is grief the last gift of my dealing? Nay, but rest.
All the world is wearied, east and west, Tired with toil to watch the slow sun wheeling, Twelve loud hours of life's laborious quest.
Eyes forspent with vigil, faint and reeling, Find at last my comfort, and are blest, Not with rapturous light of life's revealing— Nay, but rest.
# A Century of Roundels/To Catullus

TO CATULLUS.
My brother, my Valerius, dearest head Of all whose crowning bay-leaves crown their mother Rome, in the notes first heard of thine I read My brother.
No dust that death or time can strew may smother Love and the sense of kinship inly bred From loves and hates at one with one another.
To thee was Cæsar's self nor dear nor dread, Song and the sea were sweeter each than other: How should I living fear to call thee dead My brother?
# A Century of Roundels/Recollections

RECOLLECTIONS.
I.
Years upon years, as a course of clouds that thicken Thronging the ways of the wind that shifts and veers, Pass, and the flames of remembered fires requicken Years upon years.
Surely the thought in a man's heart hopes or fears Now that forgetfulness needs must here have stricken Anguish, and sweetened the sealed-up springs of tears.
Ah, but the strength of regrets that strain and sicken, Yearning for love that the veil of death endears, Slackens not wing for the wings of years that quicken— Years upon years.
II.
Years upon years, and the flame of love's high altar Trembles and sinks, and the sense of listening ears Heeds not the sound that it heard of love's blithe psalter Years upon years.
Only the sense of a heart that hearkens hears, Louder than dreams that assail and doubts that palter, Sorrow that slept and that wakes ere sundawn peers.
Wakes, that the heart may behold, and yet not falter, Faces of children as stars unknown of, spheres Seen but of love, that endures though all things alter, Years upon years.
III.
Years upon years, as a watch by night that passes, Pass, and the light of their eyes is fire that sears Slowly the hopes of the fruit that life amasses Years upon years.
Pale as the glimmer of stars on moorland meres Lighten the shadows reverberate from the glasses Held in their hands as they pass among their peers.
Lights that are shadows, as ghosts on graveyard grasses, Moving on paths that the moon of memory cheers, Shew but as mists over cloudy mountain passes Years upon years.
# A Century of Roundels/The Way of the Wind

THE WAY OF THE WIND.
The wind's way in the deep sky's hollow None may measure, as none can say How the heart in her shows the swallow The wind's way.
Hope nor fear can avail to stay Waves that whiten on wrecks that wallow, Times and seasons that wane and slay.
Life and love, till the strong night swallow Thought and hope and the red last ray, Swim the waters of years that follow The wind's way.

​596 Fu P'ei 苻丕(T. 永叔). Died A.D. 386. Eldest son by a concubine of Fu Chien (2), who finding him well-read in history and fond of military studies, caused him to be instructed in the art of war. On Fu Chien's death, he assumed the royal title at 晉陽 Chin-yang in Shansi; and in 385 he claimed the throne of China, only to be defeated in the following year and slain by one of the generals of the rival pretender, Mu-jung Ch'ui.

# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Nai

​594 Fu Nai 傅鼐(T. 重庵). A.D. 1758-1811. A statesman who made himself famous by his skilful treatment of the aborigines of Hunan. He first conquered and disarmed them, and then set to work to teach them to cultivate the arts of peace. He was particularly successful as a military leader, though himself actually a civilian. In 1809 he rose to be Judge in Hunan, and was ordered, by special request of the aborigines, to visit their territory once a year.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu I

​589 Fu I 傅奕. A.D. 554-639. An official of the Sui dynasty, who became Historiographer under the first Emperor of the T'ang dynasty. He presented a memorial asking that the Buddhist religion might be abolished; and when Hsiao Yü questioned him on the subject, he said, "You were not born in a hollow mulberry-tree; yet you respect a religion which does not recognise the tie between father and son!" He urged that at any rate priests and nuns should be compelled to marry and bring up families, and not escape from contributing their share to the revenue, adding that Hsiao Yü by defending their doctrines showed himself no better than they were. At this Hsiao Yü held up his hands, and declared that hell was made for such men as Fu I. The result was that severe restrictions were placed for a short time upon the teachers of Buddhism. The Emperor T'ai Tsung once got hold of a Tartar priest who could "charm people into unconsciousness, and then charm them back to life again," and spoke of his powers to Fu I. The latter said confidently, "He will not be able to charm me;" and when put to the test, the priest completely failed. He was the originator of epitaphs, and wrote his own, as follows: —
Fu I loved the green hills and the white clouds.
Alas! he died of drink.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Pi

​597 Fu Pi 富弼(T. 彥國). Died A.D. 1085. A native of Honan, who distinguished himself by his scholarship and was appointed in 1402 to a post in connection with criminal administration at the capital. As this was displeasing to Lü I-chien, when it became necessary to send an envoy to the Kitan Tartars, he at once suggested Fu Pi. The latter was completely successful in his mission, persuading the Tartars to give up their claim to any further territory on condition of receiving an increased subsidy. Returning home, he was rewarded by various important appointments; but he was unable to reconcile himself to the innovations of Wang An-shih, and in 1068 he retired on the plea of old age. He was ennobled as Duke, and canonised as 文忠.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Pu-ch'i

​598 Fu Pu-ch'i 宓不齊(T. 子賤). Born B.C. 513. One of the disciples of Confucius. He was Governor of 單父 Shan-fu in Lu, but left the administration in the hands of five of the inhabitants more virtuous than himself, while he sat in the judgment-hall playing on his lute; the result being that the district was a model of good government. He was succeeded by one 巫馬期 Wu-ma Ch'i, who by dint of great personal ​energy also obtained the best results. "Ah," said Fa to Wu-ma, who spoke to him on the subject, "I place my trust in men; you place your trust in energy. Mine is the better method."
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Shêng (伏勝)

​599 Fu Shêng 伏勝 or 伏生 (T. 子賤). 2nd and 3rd cent. B.C. A native of Chi-nan in Shantung, who at the time of the "Burning of the Books" (see Li Ssŭ) concealed a copy of the Canon of History in the wall of his house. Driven from his home during the troublous times which ensued, upon his return under the Han dynasty he found only 29 sections of the work remaining, and these he at once set to work to teach. Later on, when the Emperor Wên Ti wished to reproduce the above Canon, he sent for Fu Shêng. But the old man was then over 90 years of age, and could not obey the summons. He handed over to Ch'ao Ts'o, the Imperial Commissioner, the work such as it remained to him. Another less trustworthy account says that he had preserved more than 20 sections of the Canon in his memory, and repeated them verbatim to an officer who took down the words from his dictation. In A.D. 647 his tablet was placed in the Confucian Temple. A descendant of his, named Fu 湛 Chan, popularly known as 伏不闞, was a virtuous official under the last Emperors of the Han dynasty, and was put to death by Ts'ao Ts'ao.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Su

​601 Fu Su 扶蘇. Died B.C. 210. Eldest son of the First Emperor. For remonstrating with his father on the persecution of the literati who refused to burn their books (see Li Ssŭ) he was banished to the north, where he served in the army operating ​against the Hsiung-nu and aided in building the Great Wall. He was there murdered by command of Li Ssŭ, in order that his younger brother, Hu Hai, might succeed to the throne.

​SYLBURG, FRIEDRICH (1536-1596), German classical scholar, son of a farmer, was born at Wetter near Marburg. He studied at Marburg, Jena, Geneva, and, lastly, Paris, where his teacher was Henry Estienne (Stephanus), to whose great Greek Thesaurus Sylburg afterwards made important contributions. Returning to Germany, he held educational posts at Neuhaus near Worms and at Lich near Giessen, where he edited a ​useful edition of the Institutiones in graecam linguam (1580) of Nicolaus Clenardus (Cleynaerts, 1495–1542) In 1583 he resigned his post at Lich and moved to Frankfort-on-the-Main to act as corrector and editor of Greek texts for the enterprising publisher Johann Wechel. To his Frankfort period belong the editions of Pausanias, Herodotus, Dionysius of Halicarnassus (one of his best pieces of work and highly praised by Niebuhr), Aristotle, the Greek and Latin sources for the history of the Roman emperors and the Περὶ συντάξεως of Apollonius Dyscolus. In 1591 he removed to Heidelberg, where he became librarian to the elector palatine. The Wechel series was continued by Hieronymus Commelinus of Heidelberg, for whom Sylburg edited Clement of Alexander, Justin Martyr, the Etymologicum magnum, the Scriptores de re rustica, the Greek gnomic poets, Xenophon, Nonnus and other works. All Sylburg's editions show great critical power and indefatigable industry. He died on the 17th of February 1596, a victim of over-work.
