# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Filibuster

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
FILIBUSTER, a sea-rover; a pirate; a corsair; a freebooter, or buccaneer; sometimes applied to any military adventurer who undertakes an expedition against a territory, unauthorized by law
or the exigencies of war. The term filibuster, now used in any country where the English language is spoken, was first applied in New Orleans to certain adventurers who, after the termination of the war between this country and Mexico, exerted themselves with setting on foot within the United States military expeditions designed to operate in the Spanish-American countries to the S. of us. The pretended object of these expeditions was the emancipation of those countries from tyranny, foreign or domestic, and the introduction of democratic institutions after the model of the United States. The most noted expedition of this sort was that led by Walker against Nicaragua in 1855. See Walker, William.
# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Fillmore, Millard

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
FILLMORE, MILLARD, an American statesman, 13th President of the United States; born in Summer Hill, Cayuga co., N. Y., Feb. 7, 1800. Apprenticed to a wool-carder, he made amends by his zeal in the pursuit of knowledge. His talents and aptitude procured him the notice of Judge Wood, an eminent lawyer who invited the young man to a desk in his office, and offered to defray his expenses while he prepared for the bar. Fillmore accepted the offer, but continued teaching in a school to help pay his way. He moved to Erie county in 1821 and was admitted as attorney two years later. In 1829 he was a member of the Legislature, and in 1832 was elected to Congress as a Whig. In 1847 he was elected comptroller of New York State and a year later Vice-President of the United States. President Taylor entered on his office in March, 1849, and died suddenly in July, 1850. Fillmore became, in virtue of his office, President of
the United States. It was the era of the Lopez expedition against Cuba; and of a more than usual bitterness in the relations between North and South on the slavery question. Fillmore made Daniel Webster his Secretary of State. President Fillmore's messages favored the fugitive slave law, and recommended a protective, but not a prohibitory tariff. Under his presidency California was admitted as a new State into the Union. In his final message he had to deplore the death of Webster; and in March, 1853, he yielded up his office to his successor, General Pierce. He was the candidate of the American party for the presidency in 1856, but he received a very small minority of votes. After his retirement from public life he resided in Buffalo, N. Y., where he died, March 8, 1874.

FIN, the organ by which locomotion is effected in a fish. As a rule fins consist of a membrane supported by rays. Of these organs the two pectoral fins, so called from being situated on the breast, where they are just behind the branchial aperture, are modifications of the anterior limbs in other vertebrata. The ventral fins, so called from being, as a rule, situated on the belly, correspond to the hind limbs in other vertebrata. Often there are also one or more dorsal fins on the back, two anal fins near the anus, while the tail is technically called the caudal fin. In carpentry, a tongue on the edge of a board. In commerce, a blade of whalebone. In machinery, a slip inserted longitudinally into a shaft or arbor, and left projecting so as to form a guide for an object which may slip thereon, but not rotate; a spline or feather.

# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Finance

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
FINANCE, the art of managing money matters, the person who professes this art being called a financier. Finances, in the plural, is often used for money itself, but still with a reference to the purpose to which it is to be applied, as where the finances of a country are said to have improved or fallen off. It is used in the United States as in England, rather in a political and economic sense than officially; but in France there have been, from time to time, comptrollers-general of finances, councils of finances, bureaus of finances, etc., and at the present time, Minister of Finances.
# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Feminism

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
FEMINISM, a term, supposed to have originated in France in 1890, which includes all phases of the modern tendency of women to assert their equality in the social life with men; their right to enter the professions on an equal basis with men, equal suffrage for both sexes in political matters, and a general recognition of the rights of women to interest themselves in pubic affairs.
The first manifestation of what has been commonly called the “women's rights” movement was the growing demand for equal suffrage, principally in this country and in Great Britain. The demand has been based on the democratic ideals of both these nations, supported by the contention that men formed a superior political class who subjected women, as an inferior class, to political slavery. In Great Britain equal suffrage for the sexes has been a national problem, on account of the centralized system of the British Government. In this country it had, until slightly previous to 1920, been a problem which each State might solve as it saw fit. Thus in several of the Western States, notably Kansas and California, women were granted the right to vote at a much earlier period than it was granted them in other parts of the country.
The growing agitation by women's organizations, however, stimulated public interest in the question, and repeated efforts were made to grant the right of suffrage to women by means of an amendment of the Federal Constitution. The activity of women in war relief work, during the participation of the United States in the World War, rousing universal admiration of their efforts, undoubtedly was the chief cause of the sentiment which carried the amendment through Congress in 1919 (passing the Senate June 7, 1919). In a little over a year the necessary number of State Legislatures had ratified the measure, that of Connecticut being the last to pass its approval, thus enabling women all over the country to participate in the presidential elections in November, 1920.
In other phases of the general movement toward equality of men and women
the United States has been far in the lead over Great Britain and the Continental countries, with the possible exception of the Scandinavian countries. As far back as 1833 the coeducation of men and women was introduced in Oberlin College, and gradually became a common feature of a large number of American institutions of learning. The right of women to a place in the professions has long been recognized in this country, while in other countries women who ventured into the gainful occupations would be socially ostracized.

Bandini, Angelo Maria. Among the musical manuscripts purchased by Dr. Burney at Rome, in 1770, was the music book of Salvator Rosa, the celebrated painter, poet, and musician. Number eleven, in the above-mentioned curious manuscript, contains a grumbling, gloomy history of Salvator Rosa, in which the comic exaggeration is not unpleasing ; but it is rather a satire on the times in which he lived than a lyric composition. However, it is set by Bandini; but being chiefly narrative, the music is almost wholly recitative. Dr. Burney has published a translation of this cantata. Bandini was a native of Florence.

# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/B/Banjo

Banjo. A favorite instrument among the negroes of the south. It is a rude imitation of the guitar united with the tambourine. Its head and neck are formed like the guitar ; it has five strings, is played with the fingers and hand, and its body is in the form of a hoop, over maid parchment is stretched as over a drum.
Position. -Hold the banjo in the left hand, about two inches from the nut; let the neck rest in the hollow of your hand, which will bring your fingers and thumb directly over the strings, and let the instrument rest against your right side, which will bring it in a proper position to perform with the right hand. You must sit in an upright and graceful position, as it is less tire-some, and will give your right hand a fuller use of the instrument.
On tuning the Banjo in the Key of C. - Tune the middle or third string to C, the fifth or shorter to C an octave above ; tune the fourth string to F a fifth below lower C. Tune the second string to E a third above the lower C, and tune the first to G on a third above the second or a fifth above lower C.
The 0 above represents the open strings, the figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, the fingers to place upon them.
On tuning the Banjo in the Key of (D.) # # Tune the middle or third string to D, the fifth to D an octave above, the fourth to G, the second to F, and the first to A, which corresponds to A on the violin.
# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/B/Banister, John

Banister, John, succeeded the celebrated Baltzar, as leader of King Charles's new baud of twenty-four violins. He was the first English violinist of any note. He died in 1679. He set to music the opera of "Circe," written by Dave-limit, and performed at the theatre and in Dorset Gardens in 1676. He also composed several songs. Banister was the first musician who established lucrative concerts in London. These concerts were advertised in the London Gazette of the times; and in No. 742, December 30, 1672, there is the following advertisement : "These are to give notice, that at Mr. John Banister's house, now called the Music School, over against the George Taverne, in White Friars, this present Monday, will be Musick performed by excellent masters, beginning precisely at four of the clock in the afternoon, and every afternoon for the future, precisely at 'he same hour."
BANISTER, JOHN, son of the preceding, was an eminent performer on the violin ; he wag one of King William's band, and played the first violin at Drury Lane, when operas were first per-formed there. He died about the year 1725. He composed several grounds, with divisions, inserted in the " Division Violin."

# Collected poems, 1901-1918/The Linnet

THE LINNET
UPON this leafy bush
With thorns and roses in it,
Flutters a thing of light,
A twittering linnet.
And all the throbbing world
Of dew and sun and air
By this small parcel of life
Is made more fair;
As if each bramble-spray
And mounded gold-wreathed furze,
Harebell and little thyme,
Were only hers;
As if this beauty and grace
Did to one bird belong,
And, at a flutter of wing, Might vanish in song.
# Collected poems, 1901-1918/The Listeners

THE LISTENERS
"IS there anybody there?" said the Traveller,
Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
Of the forest's ferny floor:
And a bird flew up out of the turret,
Above the Traveller's head:
And he smote upon the door again a second time;
"Is there anybody there? " he said.
But no one descended to the Traveller;
No head from the leaf-fringed sill
Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,
Where he stood perplexed and still. But only a host of phantom listeners
That dwelt in the lone house then
Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight
To that voice from the world of men:
Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair, That goes down to the empty hall,
Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken
By the lonely Traveller's call.
And he felt in his heart their strangeness,
Their stillness answering his cry,
While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf,
'Neath the starred and leafy sky;
For he suddenly smote on the door, even
Louder, and lifted his head: —
"Tell them I came, and no one answered,
That I kept my word," he said.
Never the least stir made the listeners,
Though every word he spake
Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house
From the one man left awake:
Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup.
And the sound of iron on stone,
And how the silence surged softly backward, When the plunging hoofs were gone.
# Collected poems, 1901-1918/The Market-Place

THE MARKET-PLACE
MY mind is like a clamorous market-place.
All day in wind, rain, sun, its babel wells;
Voice answering to voice in tumult swells.
Chaffering and laughing, pushing for a place,
My thoughts haste on, gay, strange, poor, simple, base;
This one buys dust, and that a bauble sells:
But none to any scrutiny hints or tells
The haunting secrets hidden in each sad face.
Dies down the clamour when the dark draws near;
Strange looms the earth in twilight of the West, Lonely with one sweet star serene and clear,
Dwelling, when all this place is hushed to rest, On vacant stall, gold, refuse, worst and best,
Abandoned utterly in haste and fear.
# Collected poems, 1901-1918/The Journey

THE JOURNEY
HEART-SICK of his journey was the Wanderer;
Footsore and parched was he;
And a Witch who long had lurked by the wayside,
Looked out of sorcery.
"Lift up your eyes, you lonely Wanderer,"
She peeped from her casement small;
"Here's shelter and quiet to give you rest, young man,
And apples for thirst withal."
And he looked up out of his sad reverie,
And saw all the woods in green,
With birds that flitted feathered in the dappling,
The jewel-bright leaves between.
And he lifted up his face towards her lattice,
And there, alluring-wise,
Slanting through the silence of the long past,
Dwelt the still green Witch's eyes.
And vaguely from the hiding-place of memory
Voices seemed to cry;
"What is the darkness of one brief life-time
To the deaths thou hast made us die?
"Heed not the words of the Enchantress
Who would us still betray!"
And sad with the echo of their reproaches,
Doubting, he turned away.
"I may not shelter beneath your roof, lady, Nor in this wood's green shadow seek repose,
Nor will your apples quench the thirst
A homesick wanderer knows."
"'Homesick' forsooth!" she softly mocked him:
And the beauty in her face
Made in the sunshine pale and trembling
A stillness in that place.
And he sighed, as if in fear, that young Wanderer,
Looking to left and to right, Where the endless narrow road swept onward,
Till in distance lost to sight.
And there fell upon his sense the brier,
Haunting the air with its breath,
And the faint shrill sweetness of the birds' throats,
Their tent of leaves beneath.
And there was the Witch, in no wise heeding;
Her arbour, and fruit-filled dish, Her pitcher of well-water, and clear damask —
All that the weary wish.
And the last gold beam across the green world
Faltered and failed, as he
Remembered his solitude and the dark night's
Inhospitality.
And he looked upon the Witch with eyes of sorrow
In the darkening of the day;
And turned him aside into oblivion;
And the voices died away. . . .
And the Witch stepped down from her casement:
In the hush of night he heard
The calling and wailing in dewy thicket
Of bird to hidden bird.
And gloom stole all her burning crimson,
Remote and faint in space
As stars in gathering shadow of the evening
Seemed now her phantom face.
And one night's rest shall be a myriad, Midst dreams that come and go;
Till heedless fate, unmoved by weakness, bring him
This same strange by-way through:
To the beauty of earth that fades in ashes,
The lips of welcome, and the eyes
More beauteous than the feeble shine of Hesper
Lone in the lightening skies:
Till once again the Witch's guile entreat him;
But, worn with wisdom, he
Steadfast and cold shall choose the dark night's
Inhospitality.
# Collected poems, 1901-1918/The Marionettes

THE MARIONETTES
LET the foul Scene proceed:
There's laughter in the wings;
'Tis sawdust that they bleed,
But a box Death brings.
How rare a skill is theirs
These extreme pangs to show,
How real a frenzy wears
Each feigner of woe!
Gigantic dins uprise!
Even the gods must feel
A smarting of the eyes
As these fumes upsweal.
Strange, such a Piece is free,
While we Spectators sit,
Aghast at its agony,
Yet absorbed in it!
Dark is the outer air.
Cold the night draughts blow
Mutely we stare, and stare
At the frenzied Show.
Yet heaven hath its quiet shroud
Of deep, immutable blue —
We cry "An end!" We are bowed
By the dread, "'Tis true!"
While the Shape who hoofs applause
Behind our deafened ear,
Hoots — angel-wise — "the Cause!"
And affright even fear.
# Collected poems, 1901-1918/The Massacre

THE MASSACRE
THE shadow of a poplar tree
Lay in that lake of sun,
As I with my little sword went in —
Against a thousand, one.
Haughty and infinitely armed,
Insolent in their wrath,
Plumed high with purple plumes they held
The narrow meadow path.
The air was sultry; all was still;
The sun like flashing glass;
And snip-snap my light-whispering steel
In arcs of light did pass.
Lightly and dull fell each proud head,
Spiked keen without avail,
Till swam my uncontented blade
With ichor green and pale.
And silence fell: the rushing sun
Stood still in paths of heat,
Gazing in waves of horror on
The dead about my feet.
Never a whir of wing, no bee
Stirred o'er the shameful slain;
Nought but a thirsty wasp crept in,
Stooped, and came out again.
The very air trembled in fear;
Eclipsing shadow seemed
Rising in crimson waves of gloom —
On one who dreamed.
# Collected poems, 1901-1918/The Glimpse

THE GLIMPSE
Art thou asleep? or have thy wings Wearied of my unchanging skies?
Or, haply, is it fading dreams Are in my eyes?
Not even an echo in my heart
Tells me the courts thy feet trod last, Bare as a leafless wood it is, The summer past.
My inmost mind is like a book
The reader dulls with lassitude,
Wherein the same old lovely words
Sound poor and rude.
Yet through this vapid surface, I
Seem to see old-time deeps; I see,
Past the dark painting of the hour,
Life's ecstasy.
Only a moment; as when day
Is set, and in the shade of night,
Through all the clouds that compassed her, Stoops into sight
Pale, changeless, everlasting Dian,
Gleams on the prone Endymion,
Troubles the dulness of his dreams: And then is gone.

THE LITTLE SALAMANDER
TO MARGOT
WHEN I go free,
I think 'twill be
A night of stars and snow,
And the wild fires of frost shall light
My footsteps as I go;
Nobody — nobody will be there
With groping touch, or sight,
To see me in my bush of hair
Dance burning through the night.
# Collected poems, 1901-1918/The Happy Encounter

SONNETS
THE HAPPY ENCOUNTER
I SAW sweet Poetry turn troubled eyes
On shaggy Science nosing in the grass,
For by that way poor Poetry must pass
On her long pilgrimage to Paradise.
He snuflled, grunted, squealed; perplexed by flies,
Parched, weatherworn, and near of sight, alas,
From peering close where very little was
In dens secluded from the open skies.
But Poetry in bravery went down,
And called his name, soft, clear, and fearlessly;
Stooped low, and stroked his muzzle overgrown;
Refreshed his drought with dew; wiped pure and free His eyes: and lo! laughed loud for joy to see
In those grey deeps the azure of her own.
