# Body of This Death/The Frightened Man

​THE FRIGHTENED MAN
In fear of the rich mouth
I kissed the thin,—
Even that was a trap
To snare me in.
Even she, so long
The frail, the scentless,
Is become strong
And proves relentless.
O, forget her praise,
And how I sought her
Through a hazardous maze
By shafted water.
# Body of This Death/Women

​WOMEN
Women have no wilderness in them,
They are provident instead,
Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts
To eat dusty bread.
They do not see cattle cropping red winter grass,
They do not hear
Snow water going down under culverts
Shallow and clear.
They wait, when they should turn to journeys,
They stiffen, when they should bend.
They use against themselves that benevolence
To which no man is friend.
They cannot think of so many crops to a field
Or of clean wood cleft by an axe.
Their love is an eager meaninglessness
Too tense, or too lax.
They hear in every whisper that speaks to them
A shout and a cry.
As like as not, when they take life over their door-sills
They should let it go by.

National Chemistry Week
HON. SHERWOOD L. BOEHLERT
OF NEW YORK IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, November 10, 1999
Mr. BOEHLERT. Mr. Speaker, this week is National Chemistry Week. I rise on this occasion to recognize the thousands of American Chemical Society members who are volunteering their time this week--not only across the nation, but around the world as well--to teach all of us about the exciting ways that chemistry and chemical engineering benefit our country and improve our everyday lives.
This is the 12th year that the American Chemical Society has led the celebration of National Chemistry Week. And I'm especially excited that in my home district, the 23rd District of New York, volunteer chemists and chemical engineers of the American Chemical Society's Norwich Section will host an open house for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders Chenango County schools. There they will teach practical chemistry using a full range of hands-on activities, so they can see and explore and learn for themselves how chemistry works. Last year, the Norwich Section won national recognition for its Chemistry Week event, which was attended by 250 people from all over Chenango County.
This year National Chemistry Week culminates a 52-country International Chemistry Celebration that featured "A Global Salute to Polymers." In the United States alone, no less than 51 companies, 10 universities, 2 museums, and 17 individual scientists were saluted for the innovative products they created that have changed our lives.
During National Chemistry Week members of the American Chemical Society will conduct events in communities around the country along the theme "Celebrating Polymers." For instance, kids will be asked to carry out activities using sodium poly-acrylate, a widely used absorbent with applications ranging from horticulture to construction to disposable diapers. After seeing how poly-acrylate works, students will be challenged to think up other ways it can be applied to other real-life problems. More activities using sodium polyacrylate are available in the fall issues of the ACS student magazines WonderScience and Chem-Matters.
Mr. Speaker, our ability to improve the quality of our lives, make educated decisions in an increasingly technological world, and compete successfully in the global economy depends critically upon our understanding of sciences like chemistry.
So please join me and the 160,000 chemists, chemical engineers, and allied professionals of the American Chemical Society in highlighting the fact that every single aspect of our lives is in some way a result of chemistry in action.

# Body of This Death/The Changed Woman

​THE CHANGED WOMAN
The light flower leaves its little core
Begun upon the waiting bough.
Again she bears what she once bore
And what she knew she re-learns now.
The cracked glass fuses at a touch.
The wound heals over, and is set
In the whole flesh, and is not much
Quite to remember or forget.
Rocket and tree, and dome and bubble
Again behind her freshened eyes
Are treacherous. She need not trouble.
Her lids will know them when she dies.
And while she lives, the unwise, heady
Dream, ever denied and driven,
Will one day find her bosom ready,— That never thought to be forgiven.
# Body of This Death/The Crows

​THE CROWS
The woman who has grown old
And knows desire must die,
Yet turns to love again,
Hears the crows' cry.
She is a stem long hardened,
A weed that no scythe mows.
The heart's laughter will be to her
The crying of the crows,
Who slide in the air with the same voice
Over what yields not, and what yields,
Alike in spring, and when there is only bitter
Winter-burning in the fields.
# Body of This Death/The Alchemist

​THE ALCHEMIST
I burned my life, that I might find
A passion wholly of the mind,
Thought divorced from eye and bone,
Ecstasy come to breath alone.
I broke my life, to seek relief
From the flawed light of love and grief.
With mounting beat the utter fire
Charred existence and desire.
It died low, ceased its sudden thresh.
I had found unmysterious flesh— Not the mind's avid substance—still
Passionate beyond the will.
# Body of This Death/The Romantic

​THE ROMANTIC
Admit the ruse to fix and name her chaste
With those who sleep the spring through, one and one,
Cool nights, when laurel builds up, without haste,
Its precise flower, like a pentagon.
In her obedient breast, all that ran free
You thought to bind, like echoes in a shell.
At the year's end, you promised, it would be
The unstrung leaves, and not her heart, that fell.
So the year broke and vanished on the screen
You cast about her; summer went to haws.
This, by your leave, is what she should have been,— Another man will tell you what she was.

# Body of This Death/Sub Contra

​SUB CONTRA
Notes on the tuned frame of strings
Plucked or silenced under the hand
Whimper lightly to the ear,
Delicate and involute,
Like the mockery in a shell.
Lest the brain forget the thunder
The roused heart once made it hear,— Rising as that clamor fell,— Let there sound from music's root
One note rage can understand,
A fine noise of riven things.
Build there some thick chord of wonder;
Then, for every passion's sake,
Beat upon it till it break.
# Body of This Death/Words for Departure

​WORDS FOR DEPARTURE
Nothing was remembered, nothing forgotten.
When we awoke, wagons were passing on the warm summer pavements,
The window-sills were wet from rain in the night,
Birds scattered and settled over chimneypots
As among grotesque trees.
Nothing was accepted, nothing looked beyond.
Slight-voiced bells separated hour from hour,
The afternoon sifted coolness
And people drew together in streets becoming deserted.
There was a moon, and light in a shop-front,
And dusk falling like precipitous water.
Hand clasped hand,
Forehead still bowed to forehead— Nothing was lost, nothing possessed,
There was no gift nor denial.
2. I have remembered you.
You were not the town visited once,
Nor the road falling behind running feet.
You were as awkward as flesh
And lighter than frost or ashes.
You were the rind,
And the white-juiced apple,
The song, and the words waiting for music.
3
You have learned the beginning;
Go from mine to the other.
Be together; eat, dance, despair,
Sleep, be threatened, endure.
You will know the way of that.
But at the end, be insolent;
Be absurd—strike the thing short off;
Be mad—only do not let talk
Wear the bloom from silence.
And go away without fire or lantern.
Let there be some uncertainty about your departure.

Blau v. United States
Argued: Nov. 7, 1950. --- Decided: Jan 15, 1951
Mr. Justice MINTON, with whom Mr. Justice JACKSON joins, dissenting.
If a communication between husband and wife is made under circumstances obviously not intended to be confidential, it is not privileged. Wolfle v. United States, 291 U.S. 7, 14, 54 S.Ct. 279, 280, 78 L.Ed. 617.
Where the privilege suppresses relevant testimony, as it did here, it should 'be allowed only when it is plain that marital confidence can not otherwise reasonably be preserved.' 291 U.S. at page 17, 54 S.Ct. at page 281.
Unless the wife is in concealment, which does not appear to be the case here, the disclosure of her whereabouts to the husband is obviously not intended to be confidential and therefore is not privileged. Not every communication between husband and wife is blessed with the privilege. The general rule of evidence is competency. Incompetency is the exception, and to bring one within the exception, one must come within the reason for the exception. The reason here is protection of marital confidence, not merely of communication between spouses. It seems to me clear that all that is shown here is communication. The circumstances of confidence are absent; what all may know is certainly not confidential.
For refusal to divulge his wife's whereabouts, petitioner was in contempt. Since the sentence he received was such as he might have received for that single act of contempt, his conviction is valid. Cf. Pinkerton v. United States, 328 U.S. 640, 641, n. 1, 66 S.Ct. 1180, 1181, 90 L.Ed. 1489; Hirabayashi v. United States, 320 U.S. 81, 85, 63 S.Ct. 1375, 1378, 87 L.Ed. 1774. If petitioner conceived his sentence to be illegal, he would not be without remedy, for he might seek a reduction thereof on remand of this case under Rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C.A. I intimate nothing as to that issue.
I would affirm the conviction.

# Bohemian Section at the Austrian Exhibition, Earl's Court London 1906/To Our Visitors

TO OUR VISITORS.
On the occasion of the Austrian Exhibition, Earl’s Court, London 1906—we conceived the idea to introduce to our English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh friends the Real Bohemian and his work and to destroy thus the spurious Bohemian they have been deceived with.
Circumstances did not permit of the arrangement of a special Bohemian Exhibition in London, in which we could have done justice to the natural good taste and honest workmanship of our industrious people by giving a complete display of their productions, and where with adequate space we might with artistic scenic effects have given a pictorial introduction to all British travellers intending to visit our beloved fatherland and enjoy the sight of its natural beauties, architecture and art treasures. As it is we have to content ourselves with a display of moderate dimensions, and therefore in the Bohemian Section it has been our aim to show only what we deemed most likely to be attractive to our visitors and make them to a certain extent, acquainted with the charms of our dear old picturesque towns, the ​characteristic home-industries of the people, and some reminders of a glorious past; especially those associated historically with the ancient relations of Bohemia and Gt. Britain.
It is due to the restless energy and deep interest of our Hon. President and great patriot Dr. Francis Count Lützow, and to the financial support derived chiefly from the Royal Capital Prague and the Bohemian Diet, that we are enabled to submit for inspection a miniature representation of a small part of Bohemia.
Conscious as we are of the imperfections of our work, it is our hope that visitors will see much of interest in the BOHEMIAN SECTION and find in this little book „A GUIDE“, that will assist them during their inspection of the exhibits, and at the same time enable the readerto become acquainted with the ways of our country
THE REAL BOHEMIA.
