# The Children of the Night (1921)/The World

THE WORLD
Some are the brothers of all humankind, And own them, whatsoever their estate; And some, for sorrow and self-scorn, are blind With enmity for man's unguarded fate.
For some there is a music all day long Like flutes in Paradise, they are so glad; And there is hell's eternal under-song Of curses and the cries of men gone mad.
Some say the Scheme with love stands luminous, Some say 't were better back to chaos hurled; And so 't is what we are that makes for us The measure and the meaning of the world.
# The Children of the Night (1921)/The House on the Hill

New York: Scribner's, page 34. a villanelle
THE HOUSE ON THE HILL
They are all gone away, The House is shut and still, There is nothing more to say.
Through broken walls and gray The winds blow bleak and shrill: They are all gone away.
Nor is there one to-day To speak them good or ill: There is nothing more to say.
Why is it then we stray Around that sunken sill? They are all gone away,
And our poor fancy-play For them is wasted skill: There is nothing more to say.
There is ruin and decay In the House on the Hill: They are all gone away, There is nothing more to say.

# The Children of the Night (1921)/The Tavern

THE TAVERN
Whenever I go by there nowadays And look at the rank weeds and the strange grass, The torn blue curtains and the broken glass, I seem to be afraid of the old place; And something stiffens up and down my face, For all the world as if I saw the ghost Of old Ham Amory, the murdered host, With his dead eyes turned on me all aglaze.
The Tavern has a story, but no man Can tell us what it is. We only know That once long after midnight, years ago, A stranger galloped up from Tilbury Town, Who brushed, and scared, and all but overran That skirt-crazed reprobate, John Evereldown.
# The Children of the Night (1921)/Thomas Hood

THOMAS HOOD
The man who cloaked his bitterness within This winding-sheet of puns and pleasantries, God never gave to look with common eyes Upon a world of anguish and of sin: His brother was the branded man of Lynn; And there are woven with his jollities The nameless and eternal tragedies That render hope and hopelessness akin.
We laugh, and crown him; but anon we feel A still chord sorrow-swept,—a weird unrest; And thin dim shadows home to midnight steal, As if the very ghost of mirth were dead— As if the joys of time to dreams had fled, Or sailed away with Ines to the West.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Gaskell, Elizabeth Cleghorn

Edition of 1879. See also Elizabeth Gaskell on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
GASKELL, Elizabeth Cleghorn, an English authoress, born at Chelsea about 1810, died at Alton, Hants, Nov. 12, 1865. Her maiden name was Stevenson, and she was the wife of a Unitarian clergyman, who was for some time a resident of Manchester. Her first novel, “Mary Barton,” published in 1848, is a striking picture of the daily life of a large manufacturing town. The pathetic power of many of the scenes delineated, and the literary merit of the book, gave Mrs. Gaskell at once a position among the first writers of fiction of the day. She afterward became a contributor to “Household Words” and “All the Year Round,” And her tales, after having appeared
in these journals, were republished in book form. Her principal works of fiction besides the one already mentioned were: “Moorland Cottage” (1850); “Ruth” (1853); “Cranford” (1853); “North and South” (1855); “Lizzie Leigh;” “ Round the Sofa ” (1859); “Right at Last”(1860); “Sylvia's Lovers” (1863); and “Wives and Daughters” (1866). Most of them were republished in this country and translated into French. The work, however, which attracted the greatest attention was “The Life of Charlotte Brontë” (2 vols. 8vo, 1857). It was written in a charming style, and, as Mrs. Gaskell had been a personal friend of the author of “Jane Eyre,” she was able to furnish many interesting details of her private life.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Genesee (river)

Edition of 1879. See also Genesee River on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
GENESEE, a river of western New York, rises in Potter co., Pa., within a few yards of the head waters of the Alleghany and the north branch of the Susquehanna, flows N. W. and N. E. through Alleghany, Wyoming, Livingston, and Monroe counties, N. Y., and falls into Lake Ontario 7 m. N. of Rochester. Its length is about 145 m. It is navigable from Lake Ontario to the N. line of Rochester. The mouth, protected by two fine piers, forms a good harbor, which gives rise to the village of Charlotte, on the W. side. The river abounds in beautiful scenery, especially in cataracts. In Livingston co., near Portage, are three falls within a distance of two miles, which are respectively 60, 90, and 110 ft. high; and for several miles below these the stream flows between perpendicular banks 400 ft. high. At the S. line of Rochester commences a series of rapids, which terminate in the centre of the city in a sheer fall of 96 ft., called Genesee falls. This was the scene of Sam Patch's last leap. Six miles from the mouth of the river is a broken fall of 84 ft., by which the stream reaches the level of the lake. The Genesee is tapped above the rapids to feed the Erie canal, which at Rochester crosses it by a fine limestone aqueduct of nine arches, each of 50 ft. span. The Genesee Valley canal, commencing at Rochester, follows the course of the river for a considerable distance, locks into it at Mt. Morris, and crosses it at Portage by an aqueduct. The Buffalo branch of the Erie railway has a trestle bridge near the same place, 800 ft. long and 234 ft. high.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/German Ivy

Edition of 1879. See also Delairea odorata on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ GERMAN IVY (senecio scandens), a house plant cultivated for its quick-growing, ivy-like foliage, but which is not properly an ivy. It is one of the composite family, and a native of the Cape of Good Hope. Its twining stems grow to the height of 8 or 10 ft., and are well clothed with round heart-shaped leaves, which have several pointed lobes, of a rather thin texture and a light green color. The plant is rarely seen in bloom, but it sometimes produces umbel-like clusters of small bright yellow flowers. ​It grows readily from cuttings, flourishes well in the dry atmosphere of dwelling rooms, and is admirably adapted to window culture; in the open ground it is a useful climber where it is desired to cover a surface quickly, but it is killed by the first frost.

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Mobile Point

Edition of 1879. See also Mobile Point on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MOBILE POINT, the apex of a long, low, narrow, sandy peninsula between the gulf of Mexico on the south and Bon Secours bay and Navy cove on the north. The point is the eastern limit of the entrance into Mobile bay. It is the site of Fort Morgan, built in the place of Fort Bowyer, famous for the repulse of an attack by the British, Sept. 14, 1814. The fort, which was very imperfectly constructed, was commanded by Major Lawrence, with a garrison of only 130, including men and officers, and 20 pieces of artillery. It was attacked by a squadron of two sloops of war and two brigs, assisted by 600 Indians on land, with whom were associated 130 marines from the ships. The attack continued for three hours, when the enemy were repulsed, with the loss of the Hermes, Commodore Percy's flag ship, which ran aground and was burned, and 232 men killed and wounded. Eight of the garrison were killed. After the battle of New Orleans, Fort Bowyer was again invested by the whole British force, and Lawrence surrendered, Feb. 12, 1815. (See Mobile.)
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Missouris

Edition of 1879. See also Missouria on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MISSOURIS, or Missourias, a tribe of Indians belonging to the Dakota family, and calling themselves Nudarcha, Missouri being the name given them by the Illinois. Marquette in 1673 first heard of them as the first tribe up the river which bears their name. As allies of the Illinois they soon established friendly relations with the French, and were among the tribes who in 1712 marched to the relief of Detroit. In 1719 they entrapped and cut to pieces a Spanish expedition sent against them from Mexico. In 1720 the French under De Bourgmont established a fort on an island near the Missouris, and the great chief aided him to reach and make peace with the Comanches. He took some of the chiefs to France in 1725, and Dubois, a sergeant who had married a girl of the tribe, returned with them as commander of the post; but the French were soon after massacred to a man. Friendly relations were afterward restored, and Missouris served in the French operations against the Chickasaws. They were opposed to the English ascendancy. Lewis and Clarke found them in 1805 reduced to a band of 300 souls, with 80 warriors, on the south side of the Platte, at war with the Omahas, Poncas, Osages, Sioux, and Kansas. Great numbers had been carried off by smallpox, and, abandoning their ancient village in a fertile plain on the Missouri below the Grand, they had sought refuge with the Ottoes, with whom they have ever since been connected. After various sales of lands by them to the government, the combined tribes were removed to the Big Blue. In 1862 they numbered 708, and in 1872 had decreased to 464. They now receive $9,000 a year, but when ten payments have been made the annuity is to be reduced to $5,000. Missions
attempted by the Presbyterians, as well as all attempts at education, have proved unavailing.

MITSCHERLICH, Eilhard, a German chemist, born at Neuende, near Jever, grand duchy of Oldenburg, Jan. 7, 1794, died in Berlin, Aug. 28, 1863. He was the son of a clergyman, and studied at the gymnasium of Jever, where Schlosser instructed him in oriental history and philology. He pursued his studies especially in this department at Paris, Heidelberg, and Göttingen, where he published Mirchondi Historia Thaheridarum (1815); and in 1818 he went to Berlin to study chemistry. He discovered the law of isomorphism, for which he received the medal of the royal society of London. At the invitation of Berzelius he accompanied him to Stockholm in 1819, and passed two years in his laboratory. On his return to Berlin, he succeeded Klaproth in the academy of sciences and in the chair of chemistry. His first results in the discovery of isomorphism were presented to the Berlin academy in 1819, and next year they were generally accepted. Its doctrine was developed by him in a long series of observations. In 1823 he completed the theory by the discovery that some substances, as sulphur and carbon, under different circumstances, crystallize in two dissimilar forms. Such bodies are termed dimorphous. The reports of his
investigations and discoveries are chiefly contained in a large number of papers in the journals of the Berlin academy and in the Annalen of Poggendorff. He also published Lehrbuch der Chemie (Berlin, 1829-'40; 5th ed., 1853 et seq.). He perfected the instruments for measuring the angles of crystals, and extended his researches to the influence of heat on crystallization. Many instruments of his invention have been adopted in Germany and other countries. He was one of the few foreign associates of the French institute. His posthumous work Ueber die vulkanischen Erscheinungen in der Eifel und über die Metamorphie der Gesteine durch erhöhte Temperatur, edited by J. Roth, was published in Berlin in 1865. See Rose's Gedächtnissrede (Berlin, 1864). — His brother, Karl Gustav (born Nov. 9, 1805, died March 16, 1871), was professor of medicine at the university of Berlin. His principal work is Lehrbuch der Arzneimittellehre (3 vols., Berlin, 1847-'61).
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Mittermaier, Karl Joseph Anton

Edition of 1879. See also Carl Joseph Anton Mittermaier on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MITTERMAIER, Karl Joseph Anton, a German jurist, born in Munich, Aug. 5, 1787, died in Heidelberg, Aug. 28, 1867. He studied at Landshut and Heidelberg, was for many years professor in the former university, and in 1819 removed to Bonn. In 1821 he accepted the chair of jurisprudence at Heidelberg, which he retained until his death. He defended trial by jury in Germany, and sustained (theoretically) the codification of the French civil law against the attacks of Hugo, Savigny, and others. His Lehrbuch des deutschen Privatrechts (Landshut, 1821) was subsequently merged in his Grundsätze des gemeinen deutschen Privatrechts, mit Einschluss des Handel-, Wechsel- und Seerechts (2 vols., Ratisbon, 1837-'8). His first work on criminal law, Handbuch des peinlichen Prozesses (2 vols., Heidelberg, 1810-'12), was republished, enlarged and modified, under the title of Das deutsche Strafverfahren in der Fortbildung durch Gerichtsgebrauch und Particulargesetzgebung (2 vols., 1832), and has passed through many editions. The principles relating to the examination of witnesses in criminal law are expounded in his Theorie des Beweises im peinlichen Prozesse (2 vols., Darmstadt, 1821), in Die Lehre vom Beweise im deutschen Strafprozesse (1834; French translation, 1848; Spanish, 1851), and in his Anleitung zur Vertheidigungskunst im Criminalprozesse (translated into Italian by Garba, 1858). His manual of criminal law (Lehrbuch des Criminalprozesses) has passed through numerous editions. A comprehensive exposition of the principles upon which civil trials should be conducted is contained in his Der gemeine deutsche bürgerliche Prozess (1820-'26). His Die Mündlichkeit, das Anklageprincip, die Oeffentlichkeit und das Geschworenengericht (Stuttgart, 1845), brings the investigation and the enactments relating to trial by jury down to the period of its publication; and his Das englische, schottische und nordamerikanische Strafverfahren (Erlangen, 1851), treats of the
administration of justice in England, Scotland, and the United States. His subsequent works include Die Gefängnissverbesserung (1858); Der gegenwärtige Zustand der Gefängnissfrage (1860); Die Todesstrafe, &c. (Heidelberg, 1862); and Erfahrungen über die Wirksamkeit der Schwurgerichte in Europa und Amerika (1865). Mittermaier was a member of the Baden legislature for nearly 20 years previous to 1841, when his grief at the death of his son caused him to withdraw; during that time he had been three times president of the legislature; and having resumed his seat in 1846, he was again president during the session of 1847-'8. In 1848 he was first called upon to preside over the provisional parliament at Frankfort; and he was a member of the German parliament, where he advocated confederation, but opposed all extreme measures. He frequently visited Italy, and embodied the result of his observations in Italienische Zustände (Heidelberg, 1844).
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Mobile (county)

Edition of 1879. See also Mobile County, Alabama on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MOBILE, a S. W. county of Alabama, bounded E. by Mobile river and bay, S. by the gulf of Mexico, and W. by Mississippi; area, nearly 1,400 sq. m.; pop. in 1870, 49,311, of whom 21,107 were colored. The surface is generally uneven, except in that portion bordering on the bay and gulf, and the soil is sandy and poor, mainly covered with forests of pine. It has many streams of pure water, and, except on the low borders of the river, is very healthful. The county is traversed by the Mobile and Ohio, the New Orleans, Mobile, and Texas, and other railroads terminating at Mobile. A few miles S. of the mainland, in the gulf of Mexico, immediately W. of the entrance of Mobile bay, and forming a part of the county, is Dauphine island, the seat of a French settlement established by Bienville in 1702. It was originally called Massacre island, from the number of human bones found upon it. For several years it was at intervals the seat of government of the colony of Louisiana. The chief productions in 1870 were 61,350 bushels of Indian corn, 10,394 of Irish and 67,116 of sweet potatoes, 90,100 lbs. of rice, 7,532 of wool, 1,450 of honey, and 317 bales of cotton. There were on farms 451 horses, 492 mules and asses, 3,214 milch cows, 518 working oxen, 4,377 other cattle, 3,013 sheep, and 5,567 swine. There were 5 flour mills, 12 saw mills, 11 manufactories of tin, copper, &c., 14 of cigars, 2 of engines and boilers, and 5 of tar and turpentine. Capital, Mobile.

MISSOULA, the N. W. county of Montana, bounded N. by British America and W. and S. by Idaho; area, 20,400 sq. m.; pop. in 1870, 2,554. It lies mostly between the Bitter Root and Rocky mountains, contains the head waters of Clarke's fork of the Columbia, and is intersected in the N. W. by the Kootenay river. Flathead lake, 10 m. wide and 25 m. long, is the only important lake in the territory. Gold is found, and the census of 1870 returns 68 placer mines as in operation. The chief productions were 32,436 bushels of wheat, 15,836 of oats, 1,534 of barley, 12,152 of potatoes, 12,925 lbs. of butter, and 956 tons of hay. There were 1,045 horses, 1,134 milch cows, 1,373 other cattle, and 874 swine; 3 flour mills, and 4 saw mills. Capital, Missoula.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Mobile (river and bay)

Edition of 1879. See also Mobile River and Mobile Bay on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MOBILE, the name of a river and bay in the southern part of Alabama, derived from that of a tribe of Indians (the Mauvilians or Mobilians) who inhabited the adjacent country at the time of its first settlement by Europeans. The river Mobile is formed by the confluence of the Alabama and Tombigbee. A few miles below this point it divides into two branches, the eastern one of which takes the name of Tensas, the western retaining that of Mobile. Before reuniting, both these streams separate into several other subdivisions, all of which meet in one common embouchure at the head of Mobile bay. The length of the Mobile river is about 50 m., and its general direction
is south. In the lower part of its course the banks are marshy and alluvial.—The bay of Mobile is about 30 m. in length from N. to S., with a general width of 10 or 12 m., except where it expands on the southeast into the subsidiary bay of Bon Secours, which extends some 8 or 10 m. further to the eastward. The entrance from the gulf of Mexico, between Mobile point on the east and Dauphine island on the west, is about 3 m. wide, and is commanded by Fort Morgan on Mobile point, and Fort Gaines on Dauphine island. The bay has another outlet on the southwest through Grant's pass, N. of Dauphine island, which communicates with Mississippi sound. Through this channel steamers and other vessels of light draught generally pass when plying between Mobile and New Orleans. The bar in front of the main entrance of the bay admits of the passage of vessels drawing 21 or 22 ft. The ordinary anchorage for ships is 4 or 5 m. within the entrance of the bay. The whole of the upper portion of the bay is shallow, and is supposed to be gradually filling up with sedimentary deposits from the rivers that flow into it. There is a lighthouse on Mobile point; another on Sand island, 3 m. S., immediately in front of the entrance; and one at the head of the bay, a little below the city of Mobile.
# The Collected poems of Rupert Brooke/Day That I Have Loved

​ DAY THAT I HAVE LOVED
Tenderly, day that I have loved, I close your eyes, And smooth your quiet brow, and fold your thin dead hands. The grey veils of the half-light deepen; colour dies. I bear you, a light burden, to the shrouded sands,
Where lies your waiting boat, by wreaths of the sea's making Mist-garlanded, with all grey weeds of the water crowned. There you'll be laid, past fear of sleep or hope of waking; And over the unmoving sea, without a sound,
Faint hands will row you outward, out beyond our sight, Us with stretched arms and empty eyes on the far- gleaming And marble sand. . . . Beyond the shifting cold twilight, Further than laughter goes, or tears, further than dreaming,
There'll be no port, no dawn-lit islands! But the drear ​Waste darkening, and, at length, flame ultimate on the deep. Oh, the last fire—and you, unkissed, unfriended there! Oh, the lone way's red ending, and we not there to weep!
(We found you pale and quiet, and strangely crowned with flowers, Lovely and secret as a child. You came with us, Came happily, hand in hand with the young dancing hours, High on the downs at dawn!) Void now and tenebrous,
The grey sands curve before me. . . . From the inland meadows, Fragrant of June and clover, floats the dark, and fills The hollow sea's dead face with little creeping shadows, And the white silence brims the hollow of the hills.
Close in the nest is folded every weary wing, Hushed all the joyful voices; and we, who held you dear, Eastward we turn and homeward, alone, remembering . . . Day that I loved, day that I loved, the Night is here!
# The Collected poems of Rupert Brooke/Day and Night

​ DAY AND NIGHT
Through my heart's palace Thoughts unnumbered throng; And there, most quiet and, as a child, most wise, High-throned you sit, and gracious. All day long Great Hopes gold-armoured, jester Fantasies, And pilgrim Dreams, and little beggar Sighs, Bow to your benediction, go their way. And the grave jewelled courtier Memories Worship and love and tend you, all the day.
But when I sleep, and all my thoughts go straying, When the high session of the day is ended, And darkness comes; then, with the waning light, By lilied maidens on your way attended, Proud from the wonted throne, superbly swaying, You, like a queen, pass out into the night.
# The Collected poems of Rupert Brooke/Desertion

​ DESERTION
So light we were, so right we were, so fair faith shone, And the way was laid so certainly, that, when I'd gone, What dumb thing looked up at you? Was it something heard, Or a sudden cry, that meekly and without a word You broke the faith, and strangely, weakly, slipped apart. You gave in—you, the proud of heart, unbowed of heart! Was this, friend, the end of all that we could do? And have you found the best for you, the rest for you? Did you learn so suddenly (and I not by!) Some whispered story, that stole the glory from the sky, And ended all the splendid dream, and made you go So dully from the fight we know, the light we know?
O faithless! the faith remains, and I must pass Gay down the way, and on alone. Under the grass You wait; the breeze moves in the trees, and stirs, and calls, And covers you with white petals, with light petals. There it shall crumble, frail and fair, under the sun, ​O little heart, your brittle heart; till day be done, And the shadows gather, falling light, and, white with dew, Whisper, and weep; and creep to you. Good sleep to you!
