# Letter from Florence Earle Coates to Owen B. Jenkins, Esq. (5 June 1902)

My dear Mr. Jenkins:—
I cannot allow so kind a note as yours to go without a word of written acknowledgement, will though I hope to see you at the Board meeting tomorrow.
I had very much hoped to attend the Committee meeting on Tuesday, but recently I have been very far from well, and the heat seemed to prostrate me utterly, so that I could not go to town. I was sorry, but wholly on my own account, for I have the most entire confidence in your judgement and ability, and I well know—having proved, your pains-taking devotion. You are very good to think of me in connection with the papers, and I am most appreciative of all your kind words, but I feel that it would not be possible for me to undertake anything more.
If I may suggest one ​or two names, I should be particularly glad if we might hear from Rev. Frederic A. Hinckley next winter, also Prof. Lamberton, Prof. Schilling, Prof. Birdsall (Swarthmore College) Prof. Edmonds, Miss Wharton, (Miss Repplier will not be in this country) Miss Mary Moss, of Chestnut Hill, and Miss Ethel Ramsey.
Again thanking you for your most kind letter and with cordial remembrances to Mrs. Jenkins, I am Ever faithfully yours Florence Earle Coates
Willing Terrace Germantown June 5/02
Owen B. Jenkins Esq., Chairman.

# Little Mr Bouncer and His Friend Verdant Green

First published around 1855. Included with Little Mr. Bouncer; and Tales of College Life, the novel is sometimes published separately. A companion novel to the sometime cult novel of college life, The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green. As in that book, the gently-humorous charm of the story is well complemented by the numerous illustrations by the author himself, a contributor to Punch, amongst other magazines.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 147/Issue 1905/Muscular Development in Animals

Originally published in Gentlemen's Magazine.
M. Marangoni, in a paper communicated to the Academy of Sciences, attributes to the air-bladder of fishes another function besides that of regulating their buoyancy. He finds it so placed, and of such dimensions, as to render the fish unstable both as regards position and level; that if the animal makes no effort, it will either sink to the bottom or rise to the surface, and turn over, instead of swimming upright. He argues that this apparent inconvenience is really advantageous, both morally and physically. It keeps the fish on the alert, prevents it from contracting idle habits, and thereby renders it muscular and agile. He further maintains that the most active of terrestrial animals are those that have the least mechanical stability, and therefore must be continually engaged in keeping their balance by muscular adjustments, and he attributes their constitutional activity to the educating influence of this continuous effort. If M. Marangoni is right, the bicycle will inaugurate a new starting-point in human evolution. Ordinary human beings perform a wonderful feat in so co-ordinating the muscles, levers, and joints of the human body as to stand upright and move forward on so small a base as the soles of the feet; but the new variety of biped that performs rapid locomotion on a base of only half an inch width, while his centre of gravity is raised some two feet above that of normal foot-borne specimens, presents a case of balancing activity, effected by the co-operation of hands and feet, legs, arms, head, and body, without parallel in any other species of mammal, and he should evolve accordingly.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 147/Issue 1906/An Irish Octopus

Originally published in Globe.
We sometimes read, of gigantic octopuses being caught in such remote places as north-western America or south Australia, but the general idea of a British octopus is gathered from the horrible but harmless little bunch of fleshy tentacles, with the bulbous head, which gracefully glides through the waters of the Brighton Aquarium and flops down uncouthly on the artificial rocks. Nevertheless, there are giant octopuses in our seas, as readers of Victor Hugo's thrilling romance, "Les Travailleurs de la Mer," have learned to their groundless horror. Seldom, indeed, are these revolting monsters ever seen, but that they undoubtedly exist at certain depths was proved by the enormous specimen cast up by the sea on the Duggerna Reef at Kilkee, County Clare, during the last great storm on October 7. An accurate description of the strange jetsam has been furnished by the Rev. R. I. Gabbett. Its tentacles, of which there were eight, had been partially broken. Each of them was as thick as a man’s upper arm, and studded underneath throughout the whole length with a double row of rounded suckers. The length of the arms was from twelve to fifteen feet, so that from the extremity of one arm to that of its opposite was a span of thirty feet. The length of the animal’s trunk from end to end was at least twenty feet. The head was about three feet long, but very narrow; and its hideous eyes were like the inner surface of a breakfast plate; while its repulsive mouth, shaped like a parrot's beak, was as large and baggy as the joined hands of a man with fingers outstretched. The horrid thing weighed nearly a quarter of a ton, and to complete its manifold attractions was decked in the livery of a turbot's underside.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 148/Issue 1915/"When to the Birds their Morning Meal I Threw"

"When to the Birds their Morning Meal I Threw"
When to the birds their morning meal I threw, Beside one pretty candidate for bread There flash'd and wink’d a tiny drop of dew; But while I gazed, I lost them, both had fled; His careless tread had struck the blade-hung tear, And all its silent beauty fell away; And left, sole relic of the twinkling sphere, A sparrow’s dabbled foot upon a spray. Bold bird! that didst efface a lovely thing Before a poet's eyes! I've half a mind, Could I but single thee from out thy kind, To mulct thee in a crumb; a crumb to thee Is not more sweet than that fair drop to me; Fie on thy little foot and thrumming wing!

# Lyrics of Life (1909)/Ab Humo

AB HUMO
The seedling hidden in the sod Were ill content immured to stay; Slowly it upward makes its way And finds the light at last, thank God!
The most despised of mortal things— The worm devoid of hope or bliss, Discovers in the chrysalis Too narrow space for urgent wings.
These are my kindred of the clay: But as I struggle from the ground Such weakness in my strength is found, I seem less fortunate than they.
Yet though my progress be but slow, And failure oft obscure the past, I, too, victorious at last, Shall reach the longed-for light, I know!
# Lyrics of Life (1909)/A Lowly Parable

This poem was not included in Mrs. Coates' collected Poems (1916, in 2 vols.).
A LOWLY PARABLE
At first the birds—so runs the gentle story The priest of Buddha to the people told, With only feet to bear them o'er the mould, Hopped to and fro, nor marked the varied glory
Of days and seasons in their wondrous passing; Saw not the wintry branches overhead By vernal airs revived, engarlanded, Saw not the clouds, their forms in rivers glassing,
Dreamed not of birch-tree-haunts on lovely islands Where sunsets tarry late, as loth to go,— Nor ever knew what winds delicious blow From piny mountain-peaks o'er verdurous highlands.
Now here, now there, absorbed in one endeavor— One single aim—poor birds!—the search for food, They looked on all which aided that as good,— Toward any larger goal aspiring never.
But came a morning, strange and unforeboded, When from their tiny shoulders started things, Feathered atip, which presently were wings,— Full irksome to the birds, and heavy-loaded.
​Impatient of the undesired burden, They huddled on the ground, disconsolate, While some complained reproachfully:—"Does Fate Lay on us this new care in lieu of guerdon
"For all that we have done and borne so bravely? Is't not enough that oft, through blight and snow, We starve—we who from toil no respite know?" They drooped, they pined; but said the bluebird gravely,
His pretty head with gallant air uplifting: "This is indeed a burden which we bear— An added burden; yet—O why despair?"— Then, from one foot to t' other his weight shifting,
He hopped about, in valor growing bolder, Till—for new effort new ambition brings— He found at last that he could stretch his wings! . . . Straightway the birds forgot the day grown colder—
Forgot the future's care, the past's privation; And when, their fond desires fixed on high, They knew—O happy birds!—that they could fly,— The burden had become their exaltation!
# Lyrics of Life (1909)/A Hero

A HERO
He sang of joy; whate'er he knew of sadness He kept for his own heart's peculiar share: So well he sang, the world imagined gladness To be sole tenant there.
For dreams were his, and in the dawn's fair shining, His spirit soared beyond the mounting lark; But from his lips no accent of repining Fell when the days grew dark;
And though contending long dread Fate to master, He failed at last her enmity to cheat, He turned with such a smile to face disaster That he sublimed defeat.
# Lyrics of Life (1909)/A Little Song

A LITTLE SONG
Roses are but for a day, Amaranths endure forever; Joys there be that fade away, Dreams that perish never; But, whate'er the future's holding,— Crown of all, all else enfolding,— Love lives on!
Well they know, who with content Hear his oft-repeated story, How to earthly glooms are lent Reflexes of glory! Rapture's first and final giver, Star of Charon's rayless river,— Love lives on!
# Lyrics of Life (1909)/Affinity

AFFINITY
All are not strangers whom we so misname: Man's free-born spirit, which no rule can tame, Careless of time, o'er vasty distance led, Still finds its own where alien altars flame, Still greets its own, amongst the deathless dead!
# Lyrics of Life (1909)/After

AFTER
After the darkness, dawning, And stir of the rested wing; Fresh fragrance from the meadow, Fresh hope in everything!
After the winter, springtime And dreams, that flower-like throng; After the tempest, silence; After the silence, song.
After the heat of anger. Love, that all life enwraps; After the stress of battle, The trumpet sounding "taps."
After despair and doubting, A faith without alloy, God here and over yonder,— The end of all things—joy!
# Lyrics of Life (1909)/A Farewell

A FAREWELL
"The utmost for the highest."
Motto of George F. Watts.
Ave! Thou goest from us, Apart from us to dwell; Through sacrifice to find thyself. Ave!—but not farewell.
Thou hast dreamed a dream of Leisure; Thou hast heard her call thy name,— The handmaid of enduring Art, Who feeds the quenchless flame,— And after the Ideal Thou wistfully would'st fare, Before whose shrine 't is blest to wait,— Though ne'er to enter there!
Go forth,—for thou hast willed it,— Untrammelled as the sea! To find new forms of loveliness, Go forth! Lo, thou art free To hope, to learn, to listen. To be breathed upon, inspired, To wait on the unhasting gods, With soul intent, untired;
​Careless of gain or profit, Of markets, or applause, To yield thy heart to Nature's heart, To learn her dearer laws; To gaze beyond the present,— From the fleeting view of things. To lift the vision up and up; To feel the growth of wings;
Through love and self-denial, To gain at last the goal That hidden from the vulgar gaze Beckons the purer soul; Naught asking of the moment, Content to strive and strive,— Knowing when lesser gods depart, The gods themselves arrive! ······· Ave! Thou goest from us, Apart from us to dwell; Through sacrifice to find thyself. Ave!—but not farewell!
