SEASCAPE
Off the coast of Ireland
As our ship passed by
We saw a line of fishing ships
Etched against the sky.
Off the coast of England
As we rode the foam
We saw an Indian merchantman
Coming home.

Sea charm
The sea's own children
Do not understand.

But that the sea is strong
Like God's hand.
They know
But that sea wind is sweet
Like God's breath,
And that the sea holds
A wide, deep death.

SONG FOR A BANJO DANCE
Shake your brown feet, honey,
Shake your brown feet, chile, Shake your brown feet, honey,
Shake 'em swift and wil'— Get way back, honey,
Do that low-down step.
Walk on over, darling,

Shake your brown feet, honey, Shake 'em, honey chile.
Sun's going down this evening— Might never rise no mo'.
The sun's going down this very night— Might never rise no mo'— So dance with swift feet, honey,

Dance with swift feet, honey—
Might never dance no mo'.
Shake your brown feet, Liza,
Shake 'em, Liza, chile,

Shake your brown feet, Liza,

To annihilate thy body,

SUMMER NIGHT
The sounds
Of the Harlem night
Drop one by one into stillness. The last player-piano is closed.
The last victrola ceases with the
"Jazz Boy Blues." The last crying baby sleeps And the night becomes
Still as a whispering heartbeat. I toss
Without rest in the darkness, Weary as the tired night,
My soul
Empty as the silence, Empty with a vague,
Aching emptiness,
Desiring, Needing someone,
Something.
I toss without rest In the darkness
Until the new dawn, Wan and pale, Descends like a white mist
Into the court-yard.

The lazy, laughing South
With blood on its mouth.

Beast-strong,
Idiot-brained.
The child-minded South
Scratching in the dead fire's ashes
For a Negro's bones.
Cotton and the moon,
Warmth, earth, warmth,
The sky, the sun, the stars,
The magnolia-scented South.
Beautiful, like a woman,
Seductive as a dark-eyed whore,
Passionate, cruel,
Honey-lipped, syphilitic— That is the South.
And I, who am black, would love her
But she spits in my face.
And I, who am black,
Would give her many rare gifts
But she turns her back upon me.
So now I seek the North— The cold-faced North,
For she, they say, Is a kinder mistress,
And in her house my children May escape the spell of the South.

​BOB′ADIL, Captain. A blustering, cowardly braggart, whose personality, lines, and fate form the most entertaining element in Ben Jonson's Every Man in His Humour.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Bobadilla, Francisco

​BOBADILLA, bō′Bȧ-Dē′lyȧ, Francisco (?—1502). A Spanish commander of the Order of Calatrava, appointed in 1499 to supersede Columbus as Viceroy of the Indies. He was fully empowered to conduct an investigation of the affairs of the colony of Hispaniola, and set sail with two caravels from Cadiz in June, 1500. He was both insolent and inefficient, and he had no sooner landed in the island than he proceeded to high-handed and stupid demonstrations of authority. By his orders Columbus was seized, placed in chains, and sent back to Spain. The Admiral was, however, received with great consideration by the nation and Court. In 1502 Columbus set out on his fourth and final voyage, and arrived at Hispaniola on June 29. On the first of July, Bobadilla, who, after his utter mismanagement, had been recalled under arrest, left San Domingo in one of the vessels of a large fleet commanded by Torres, and was drowned in a hurricane.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Bobbin

Edition of 1905. See also Bobbin on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​BOBBIN (Fr. bobine, of uncertain origin). A small wooden or metal roller, flanged at one or both ends, on which thread or yarn is wound for sewing, weaving, etc. Bobbins for weaving are commonly made with a flange at one end only, but most other forms of bobbins are flanged at both ends. The ordinary ‘spool’ on which sewing-thread is wound is a familiar example of a wooden bobbin, and the metal implement for holding the thread in a sewing-machine shuttle is a good example of a metal bobbin. The manufacture of bobbins, which are used in enormous numbers, is usually carried on by means of automatic machinery. In the manufacture of bobbins or spools for sewing-thread the wooden blocks, cut to the proper length, are thrown into the hopper of the machine, whence they are taken automatically, turned, flanged, bored, and discharged complete and ready for use. See article Loom.

# The Poetical Works of Leigh Hunt/The Palfrey

THE PALFREY.
L'ENVOY.
The following story is a variation of one of the most amusing of the old French narrative poems that preceded the time of ​Chaucer, with additions of the writer's invention. The original, which he did not see till it was completed, is to be found in the collection of Messrs. Barbazan and Méon (Fabliaux et Contes des Poètes François des 11, 12, 13, 14, et 15$^e$ Siècles, &c. (Edition 1808). His own originals were the prose abridgment of M. le Grand (Fabliaux, &c., third edition, volume the fourth), and its imitation in verse by Messrs. Way and Ellis, inserted in the notes to the select translations from Le Grand by the former. of those gentlemen.
The scene of the old story,—the only known production of a poet named Huon le Roi (possibly one of the "Kings of the Minstrels," often spoken of at that period),—is laid in the province of Champagne; but as almost all the narrative poems under the title of Lays (of which this is one) are with good reason supposed to have had their source in the Greater or Lesser Britain—that is to say, either among the Welsh of this island, or their cousins of French Brittany, and as the only other local allusions in the poem itself are to places in England, the author has availed himself of the common property in these effusions claimed for the Anglo-Norman Muse,
"Begirt with British and Armorick knights,"
to indulge himself in a licence universal with the old minstrels, and lay the scene of his version where and when he pleased; to wit, during the reign of Edward the First, and in Kensington, Hendon, and their neighbourhoods,—old names, however new they sound. There is reason to believe, that the woody portions of Kensington, still existing as the Gardens, and in the neighbourhood of Holland House, are part of the ancient forest of Middlesex, which extended from this quarter to the skirts of Hertfordshire: and it is out of regard for these remnants of the old woods, and associations with them still more grateful, that I have placed the scene of my heroine's abode on the site of the existing palace, and the closing scene of the poem in the hall of the De Veres, Earls of Oxford, who had a mansion at that period in the grounds of the present Holland House, near the part called the Moats.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Bocage (Pierre Martinieu Jousez)

Edition of 1905. See also Bocage on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​BOCAGE. Pierre Martinieu Jousez (1797-1863). A well-known French actor of the romantic period. He was born in Rouen, and had a hard struggle with poverty and obscurity before, in 1826, he secured an engagement at the Odéon. There he had some success, but later at the Gaité and Porte Saint Martin theatres he found a more congenial opportunity in plays of a more melodramatic character, such as Alice, ou les fossoyeurs écossais and Newgate, ou les voleurs de Londres. In Antony and the Tour de Nesle he added so much to his reputation that he was engaged at the Théâtre Francais. Among his greatest successes were those in Angéle and other pieces by Alexandre Dumas. From 1845 to 1848 he was director of the Odéon, and later (1860), for a time, of the Théâtre Saint Marcel. His final achievement was in the production, at the Ambigu, of Les beaux messieurs de Bois-Doré (1862).
