TIRLEMONT (Flem. Tkienen), a town of Belgium, in the province of Brabant, 29 1 miles by rail to the east of Brussels, on the Great Geete. The old walls, dismantled since 1804, are nearly 6 miles in circuit, but enclose a large extent of arable and garden ground. The streets are regular, and there are some spacious squares; the market-place contains the town-hall, recently restored, and the church of Notre Dame du Lac, founded in 1298, enlarged in the 15th century, but still unfinished. The church of St Germain dates partly from the 9th century. The industries of the place include the making of steam-engines, brewing, distilling, soap-making, tanning, and various woollen and cotton manufactures. The population in 1876 was 13,296.
Tirlemont was once a much larger and more flourishing town than it now is; it has suffered much in war and was taken by the French in 1635, by Marlborough in 1705, and again by the French in 1793. John Bolland, the famous editor of the Acta Sanctorum, was born here in 1596.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Tithonus

See also Tithonus on Wikipedia; Tithonus in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
TITHONUS, a character of Greek mythology, a son or, according to others, a brother of Laomedon, king of Troy. He was beloved by Eos (the Morning), who carried him away and dwelt with him at the limit of the world, by the Ocean stream. Eos begged of Zeus that her lover might live for ever, and her request was granted; but she forgot to ask immortal youth for him, so he shrivelled up into a hideous old man, whom Eos kept shut up in a chamber. At last Tithonus prayed to be rid of the burden of old age and was turned into a grasshopper. Eos had two sons by him Memnon, king of ^Ethiopia, and Emathion. Memnon was killed before Troy by Achilles; but the legend is later than the Iliad, which does not mention it. As to Eos herself, her name is etymologically identical with the Sanskrit ush and the Latin aurora, both meaning " morning." Ac cording to Hesiod, Eos was a daughter of Hyperion and Thea, and sister of the Sun and Moon. Homer represents her arising every morning from the couch of Tithonus to carry light to gods and men, drawn in a chariot up the sky by her swift steeds Lampus and Phaethon. Her com mon epithet in Homer is " rosy-fingered," the meaning of which is disputed. Besides Tithonus she loved Orion, till Artemis shot him with an arrow in Ortygia. She also loved and carried off the youthful hunter Cephalus; he was already married to Procris, to whom, in spite of his infidelity, he was afterwards reconciled. A peculiar form of the Cephalus legend is given by Apollodorus (iii. 14, 3): Cephalus, a son of Hermes and Herse, was carried off by Eos, and from their union in Syria sprang Phaethon. By Astrseus, Eos became the mother of the Morning Star and all the starry host.
With regard to representations in art, the combat between Achilles and Memnon was figured on the chest of Cypselus (Pausanias, v. 19, 1), and it appears on early Greek vases of Melos, Corinth, and Chalcis. There was a group of Eos carrying off Cephalus on the roof of the Stoa Basileios at Athens, and the same scene was represented on the throne at Amyclæ (Paus., i. 3, 1; iii. 18, 12). It also appears on vases, and formed an acroterion group on the temple at Delos. Eos in her chariot is represented on vases.

# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Tirhut

See also Tirhut on Wikipedia; Tirhut in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
TIRHUT, or Tirhoot, a district of British India, was formerly the largest and most populous in Bengal. On 1st January 1875 it was divided into the two districts of Darbhangah and Muzaffarpur. For the latter, see Muzaffarpur. The former, with an area of 3335 square miles, lies between 25° 30΄ and 26° 40΄ N. lat. and 85° 34΄ and 86° 46΄ E. long., and is bounded on the N. by Nepal, on the E. by Bhagalpur, on the S. by Monghyr, and on the W. by Muzaffarpur. The population of Darbhangah in 1881 was 2,633,447 (males 1,295,788, females 1,337,659); of these Hindus numbered 2,323,979, Mohammedans 308,985, and Christians 325. Its chief towns are Darbhangah, the capital, with 65,955 inhabitants; Madhubani, 11,911; and Rusera, 11,578. The total revenue of Darbhangah district in 1885-86 amounted to 157,037, of which the land revenue yielded 80,442.
The alluvial tract of country formerly known as Tirhut is varied by undulations, with groves, orchards, and woods. The principal rivers are the Ganges, Gandak, Baghmati, Tiljuga, and Karai, which are rarely navigable, except during the rainy season, when they are mostly rapid and dangerous. Tirhut produces all sorts of crops, rice being the principal; others are wheat, barley, maize, oil-seeds, &c.; opium and tobacco are largely grown for export. The chief industries include the manufacture of indigo, saltpetre, coarse cloth, pottery, and mats. The Tirhut State Railway runs from Mokameh on the left bank of the Ganges through Darbhangah and Muzaf farpur districts north-west into Champaran district as far as Bettia. A ferry over the Ganges at Mokameh connects it with the East Indian Railway. There are two branches, one extending from Muzaffarpur south-west to Hajipur (to be connected with the Bengal and North-Western Railway at Sonapur by a bridge over the Gandak), the other (226 miles open for traffic in March 1886) from Samastipur via Darbhangah to Janjarpur, from which it will ex tend eastwards to Partabganj, a mart upon the Kosi river near the Nepal frontier.
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Shepherd

THE SHEPHERD
When it is night, before the moon has risen and the skies are spattered thick with stars; when, in the distance, all things blend into one and the sleeping earth touches the archèd sky, I stand before my tiny hut and pray.
Below me on the hillside, their coats glowing softly in the starlight, lie my sheep. And from the trees, the brooks, the grasses, the incessant chorus of midsummer nights trills through the air.
Yet I know not to what or to whom I pray. Not to the sun or moon for they are nowhere to be seen; not to the gods for there is no temple nor even a statue here; not to the stars for there are too many and some, neglected, would be jealous.
Perhaps it is to the sighing wind I pray; perhaps to the shadows and the rolling hills; perhaps to the night itself which seems so peaceful, all embracing, mysteriously divine.
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Trees

THE TREES
In the level sun-rays, the hill slopes flare with color. The water's mirror reflects the glory of the west: at first sheer yellow like pale gold; then tinted with crimson; and soon, above the twilight, steeped in glowing red.
Slowly the purple shadows deepen among the hills. The birds twitter softly in the dusk. Shrill voices of the night call to each other across the solitudes.
The slender trees rise black against the sky. High among their branches gleams the adolescent moon, its flowing light turning the fields to silver and the forests to ebony. And the soft wind bears from the distant city echoes of the songs of festival.
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Wine

THE WINE
Slaves, bring more wine—bright scarlet wine of Syracuse and Cyprian wine which gleams like yellow gold . . . This gross food sickens me. Take it away! Bring wine, and the large goblets.
Who are these women? They have come to dance? I wonder . . . But no—send them away. When women dance, I dream of terrible things . . . Ah! at last, laggard! Pour quickly!
Now I forget, O crimson flood! I have bought thee like a courtesan, but thine impassioned touch . . . upon my lips . . . is cold. I will be faithful to thee until death. For I am very faithful—true, O Dionysos! . . . Come, friend, drink also: and when thou art weary, sleep; and pray for . . . what thou wishest . . . in thy dreams.
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Seeker

THE SEEKER
They asked: —What seekest thou?
And the old man answered: —I seek for Truth.
—I seek for Truth—all other desires are long since dead. For many years, in far lands, before strange gods, my fruitless quest has drawn me on. But in the sanctuaries all is vanity, all is lust for temporal power, all is profaned by the impious hand of man.
—Many have asked: What seekest thou? And at my answer some have laughed while others have eagerly revealed strange phantoms which they worshiped—satisfied. But in the sanctuaries all is vanity, all is lust for temporal power, all is profaned by the impious hand of man.
Those gathered around him as he spoke, laughed also. But one, standing alone, said gently:
—O friend who seekest vainly, not in shadowy temples but among the fields, beneath outspreading trees, upon the bosom of the waters, lies the occult heart of thy desire. For Truth, alone, does not exist. Seek Beauty if thou desirest peace.
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Ship

THE SHIP
In the pale shadow of a canopy, I drowse through the long hours while the boat slips over the flashing sea. The rhythmic murmur of the waves steals through my dreams. I hear the voice of a sailor in the prow, the rippling hurry of water along the sides.
Beyond the shadow, the deck flares with light. The blazing sun of the south hangs motionless in the sky. The sultry air exhales the arid spaces of the desert.
But with the dusk, a cool breeze blows from the sea, the sail bellies, the cordage creaks and, before us, the dim forms of islands rise through the shadows.
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Ragged Cloak

THE RAGGED CLOAK
—Release my arm, O insolent, and give me back that rose thou hast dared to steal!
—I love thee.
—Thou lovest?—beggar! Then look not at me whose love is worth a mina at the least. Away, tattered chlamys, seek thy kind!
—I love thee.
—Ho, friends! Who wants a beggar for a lover? Here is one ready—almost anxious. Look at his faded cloak! Behold this rent through which I thrust my hand! . . . Ah! . . . Ah! . . . Off with thy rags, deceiver! How wicked of thee to cheat me so! What! What sayest thou?
—I scorn thee.
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Shadow

THE SHADOW
Thou seest, stranger, she has gone; and we know not whither. This gaping doorway, these empty walls darkened with the fumes of many lamps, this desolate garden: these are her heritage.
Through the nights, long since, we heard her weeping. And then, one morning, she was gone. This necklace upon my breast was hers. Little Iris sleeps now upon her abandoned couch.
Perhaps she is dead. Perhaps she was only weary of this place. Perhaps she wished, suddenly . . . to forget. . . . But she has gone as thou seest, O silent stranger, and, in all the world, we know not whither.
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Stranger

THE STRANGER
Thou seekest pleasure, stranger? Lo, I am queen of pleasure; I am ruler of all delights. With one glance of mine eyes, I can sway thee like the stricken palm.
If thou hast sorrow, I can drive it from thee; if thou art happy, I can double thine ecstasy. I can make thee long for death. . . . Girl, bring wine and cakes—quickly!
This is my house. Thou seest—I have many friends. I am rich; but I think nothing of money. I love where it pleases me, and I am pleased with thee. Give thy cloak to the slave. . . . Pardon, thou hast dropped thy purse. . . .
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Perfumes

THE PERFUMES
Safe within a box of ebony, I store my perfumes, in vases gold and crimson, in vials of green, pale as the leaves of springtime.
There are glowing syrups, laden with the souls of a thousand roses; cool, green liquids from the soft blooms of the lotos; thin, sterile drops from strange, dark flowers of the night. There is even a perfume which has . . . which never knew the flowers.
But, deep hidden in a secret place, there are two vials—the one of iron, sombre and cold, the other of purest azure, warm and fragile as an unknown thing. And sometimes, when the world is hushed and dark, I bar my doors and . . . later . . . swoon softly in the warm, throbbing silence of my dreams. . . .
# Ephemera (Buck)/The Votaress

THE VOTARESS
For the beauty thou has given me, O goddess, I thank thee . . .
I stand in my marbled bath and see, reflected in the green water, the clear glory of my body, smooth and glowing beneath the caress of my hands. On the streets, I appear in my fairest vestments and costliest jewels. When the passing men turn to look at me, I part my sanguined lips in a warm smile; and each month, at the full moon, O goddess, I lay at thy feet a mina earned in thy name.
Yet neither thy love nor the white poppies of Persephone bring the forgetfulness I crave. Through the long days when I am alone, I dream of sunlit meadows and crystal streams and, above the noises of the city, the call of shepherds' pipes whispers in my ears . . .
Then I close my door and, weeping, clothe myself in a simple linen tunic which my lovers never see and which is marked with green and red.
