# American Medical Biographies/Blaney, James Van Zandt

​Blaney, James Van Zandt (1820–1874)
James Van Zandt Blaney, physician and chemist, the son of Cornelius Dushane Blaney and Susan Cannon, his wife, was born at Newcastle, Delaware, May 1, 1820. He graduated at Princeton University in 1838, but remained after graduation to study chemistry ​with Professor Joseph Henry (later of the Smithsonian Institution) and received an A. M. in 1841. Being entitled to a diploma in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania before he was of age he "walked the hospitals" until his majority was reached; he is numbered with the class of 1842 with a thesis entitled "The Investigation of the Vegetable Materia Medica." The same year he went west and was associated with Daniel Brainard (q.v.) in founding Rush College where he was professor of chemistry and materia medica from 1842 to 1866. From 1866 to 1874 he was president of this college.
He was widely known as an analytical chemist; in 1846 he "organized a successful mineral exploration of the south shore of Lake Superior" (Browning). His skill as a chemist convicted George W. Green, the banker, tried in 1854 for murdering his wife. Blaney detected strychnine in the stomach of the victim and convincingly explained his method in court; the analysis was much talked of, as it alone was proof of the murderer's guilt.
In 1855 Blaney accepted the chair of chemistry and natural philosophy at Northwestern University, and moved to Evanston where he had a beautiful home and a celebrated garden. In 1861 he became surgeon of volunteers, then medical director; later he was surgeon-in-chief on General Sheridan's staff, and until the end of the war was medical director and purveyor. When the war closed he had the duty of disbursing over $600,000 in pay to medical officers. In 1865 he was mustered out as brevet lieutenant-colonel.
In 1847 he married Clarissa, daughter of Walter Butler and niece of Benjamin F. Butler; they had four children, James R., Charles D., Bessie and Cassie.
He died in Chicago, December 11, 1874.
# American Medical Biographies/Bleyer, Julius Mount

​Bleyer, Julius Mount (1859–1915)
Julius Mount Bleyer, specialist in electrotherapeutics and diseases of the nose, throat and lungs, was born at Pilsen, Austria, March 16, 1859, son of Samuel and Sophia Bleyer; with his parents he came to the United States in 1868. He was a student at the University of Prague two years and received his medical degree at Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York, in 1883. The Central University of Indiana gave him an LL. D. in 1896. He began to practise in New York in 1883 and remained there all his life.
He was a member of the New York Medico-Legal Society and used his influence to secure the adoption of a new method to end the lives of criminals, assisting in devising the death chair for electrocution. He was Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine and Surgery, Naples, Italy; Anthropological Society of Italy; Laryngological Society and Electrical Society (Paris); National Academy Medicine (Mexico). He was consulting specialist for the Metropolitan Opera Company.
In 1884 he married Rose Floersheim of New York. Dr. Bleyer died at his home in New York, April 3, 1915.
# American Medical Biographies/Boerstler, George W.

​Boerstler, George W. (1792–1871)
George W. Boerstler was born at Funkstown, Maryland, in 1792 and died at Lancaster, Ohio, October 10, 1871. He was of German descent, his father a Lutheran clergyman. Very little is known of his mother; nor is it known whether there were other children. After three years of preliminary instruction, he received in 1820 his B. M. from the University of Maryland, and, with his diploma, a flattering certificate from Professor Nathaniel Potter (q. v.) of the University. He began to practise at Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1833, but in that year changed his residence to Lancaster, Ohio, where he remained in practice until his death.
He had no specialty, but practised both medicine and surgery, according to the custom of the time, and attained a fine reputation in both departments.
He became a skillful diagnostician, and made few mistakes. His opinion was valued by the laity and equally by the profession, with whom he was very popular; his practice was consequently very large.
He married, in 1833, Elizabeth Sinks at Hagerstown, Maryland. She died in 1838, and in 1843 he married Elizabeth Schur, of ​Lancaster, Ohio. He had children; a daughter by the first wife, and by the second marriage there were two or more children. George W. Boerstler, one of them, engaged in medical practice in the office occupied by his father.
The father wrote a number of general and professional addresses of which latter several were published in the medical journals of Columbus and Cincinnati.
So far as is known, no previous sketch or biography has been published; and portraits, if any, are in the possession of Dr. George Boerstler of Lancaster.
# American Medical Biographies/Bodenhamer, William

​Bodenhamer, William (1808–1905)
William Bodenhamer, specialist and author in rectal diseases, was born in East Berlin, Pennsylvania, in the year 1808. He graduated in medicine in the now defunct Worthington Medical College of the Ohio University in 1839. He practised in Paris, and in Louisville, Kentucky, and in New Orleans, and settled in New York in 1859. He wrote "A Practical Treatise on the Aetiology, Pathology and Treatment of the Congenital Malformations of the Rectum and Anus," 368 pp., N. Y. 1860, for the first time gathering into one all the scattered memoranda from every nation, with especial reference to the efforts to give relief by operation. This remarkable treatise is illustrated by 16 lithographic plates, and reports upwards of three hundred cases and will without doubt always remain the foundation stone in the surgery of these distressing abnormalities. Bodenhamer died March 31, 1905, at his home in New Rochelle, N. Y.
# American Medical Biographies/Bodley, Rachel L.

​Bodley, Rachel L. (1831–1888)
Pioneer in the professional education of women, Rachel Bodley, eldest daughter of Anthony R. Bodley and Rebecca W. Talbot Bodley, was born in Cincinnati December 7, 1831, of Scotch-Irish and Quaker English strain. Deep religious principles were her birthright. Her mother's private school and the Wesleyan Female College completed her early education and in 1860 she entered the Polytechnic College of Philadelphia for a special course in chemistry and physics; in 1862 she returned to Cincinnati and accepted a professorship of natural sciences in the Cincinnati Female Seminary. While there she mounted and catalogued an extensive herbarium of native and foreign plants, the gift of Joseph Clark to the seminary, a work of considerable magnitude. In 1865 the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia appointed her to the chair of chemistry and toxicology, and she was elected dean of the faculty in 1874 and held both positions to the time of her death. In 1879, as a further tribute, the honorary M. D. was conferred by the Woman's Medical College. With Ann Preston, Rachel Bodley shares the distinction of guiding to successful issues this medical college for women. Ann Preston waged the battle for its existence, Rachel Bodley steadily and comprehensively developed it.
In medical missionary work her religious zeal found fullest expression, and help and sympathy were always readily given. Dean Bodley undertook the business affairs connected with the publication of Pundita Ramabai's book, "The High Caste Hindoo Woman," also an introduction to it. Her correspondence was world-wide and brought her in touch with the illustrious minds of many lands.
In 1880 she delivered a series of lectures before the Franklin Institute, of which she was a member, her topic being "Household Chemistry," but suddenly in the midst of her activities Dean Bodley died of heart failure.
The following list of memberships and dignities speak eloquently of her attainments.
1864, Corresponding member, State Historical Society of Wisconsin; 1871, member, Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences; 1871, Degree of Artium Magister conferred by her Cincinnati alma mater; 1876, corresponding member, New York Academy of Sciences; 1876, a member, American Chemical Society of New York City.

# American Poetry 1922/They Say—

THEY SAY—
They say I have a constant heart, who know  Not anything of how it turns and yields  First here, first there; nor how in separate fields It runs to reap and then remains to sow; How, with quick worship, it will bend and glow  Before a line of song, an antique vase,  Evening at sea; or in a well-loved face Seek and find all that Beauty can bestow.
Yet they do well who name it with a name,  For all its rash surrenders call it true. Though many lamps be lit, yet flame is flame;  The sun can show the way, a candle too. The tribute to each fragment is the same  Service to all of Beauty—and her due.

# American Poetry 1922/Those Who Love

THOSE WHO LOVE
Those who loved the most Do not talk of their love; Francesca, Guenevere, Dierdre, Iseult, Heloise In the fragrant gardens of heaven Are silent, or speak, if at all, Of fragile, inconsistent things.
And a woman I used to know Who loved one man from her youth, Against the strength of the fates Fighting in lonely pride, Never spoke of this things, But hearing his name by chance, A light would pass over her face.

# American Poetry 1922/Tone Picture

TONE PICTURE
(Malipiero: Impressioni Dal Vero)
Across the hot square, where the barbaric sun Pours coarse laughter on the crowds, Trumpets throw their loud nooses From corner to corner. Elephants, whose indifferent backs Heave with red lambrequins, Tigers with golden muzzles, Negresses, greased and turbaned in green and yellow, Weave and interweave in the merciless glare of noon. The sun flicks here and there like a throned tyrant, Snapping his whip. From amber platters, the smells ascend Of overripe peaches mingled with dust and heated oils. Pages in purple run madly about, Rolling their eyes and grinning with huge, frightened mouths.
And from a high window—a square of black velvet— A haughty figure stands back in the shadow, Aloof and silent.

# American Poetry 1922/Two Songs for Solitude

TWO SONGS FOR SOLITUDE
I
The Crystal Gazer
I shall gather myself into myself again,  I shall take my scattered selves and make them one, I shall fuse them into a polished crystal ball  Where I can see the moon and the flashing sun.
I shall sit like a sybil, hour after hour intent,  Watching the future come and the present go— And the little shifting pictures of people rushing  In tiny self-importance to and fro.
II
The Solitary
My heart has grown rich with the passing of years,  I have less need now than when I was young To share myself with every comer,  Or shape my thoughts into words with my tongue.
It is one to me that they come or go  If I have myself and the drive of my will, And strength to climb on a summer night  And watch the stars swarm over the hill.
Let them think I love them more than I do,  Let them think I care, though I go alone, If it lifts their pride, what is it to me  Who am self-complete as a flower or a stone?

# American Poetry 1922/The Swans

THE SWANS
The swans float and float Along the moat Around the Bishop's garden, And the white clouds push Across a blue sky With edges that seem to draw in and harden.
Two slim men of white bronze Beat each with a hammer on the end of a rod The hours of God. Striking a bell, They do it well. And the echoes jump, and tinkle, and swell In the Cathedral's carved stone polygons.
The swans float About the moat, And another swan sits still in the air Above the old inn. He gazes into the street And swims the cold and the heat, He has always been there, At least so say the cobbles in the square. They listen to the beat Of the hammered bell, And think of the feet Which beat upon their tops; But what they think they do not tell.
And the swans who float Up and down the moat Gobble the bread the Bishop feeds them. The slim bronze men beat the hour again, But only the gargoyles up in the hard blue air heed them.
When the Bishop says a prayer, And the choir sing "Amen," The hammers break in on them there: Clang! Clang! Beware! Beware! The carved swan looks down at the passing men, And the cobbles wink: "An hour has gone again." But the people kneeling before the Bishop's chair Forget the passing over the cobbles in the square.
An hour of day and an hour of night, And the clouds float away in a red-splashed light. The sun, quotha? or white, white Smoke with fire all alight.
An old roof crashing on a Bishop's tomb, Swarms of men with a thirst for room, And the footsteps blur to a shower, shower, shower, Of men passing—passing—every hour, With arms of power, and legs of power, And power in their strong, hard minds. No need then For the slim bronze men Who beat God's hours: Prime, Tierce, None. Who wants to hear? No one.
We will melt them, and mold them, And make them a stem For a banner gorged with blood, For a blue-mouthed torch. So the men rush like clouds, They strike their iron edges on the Bishop's chair And fling down the lanterns by the tower stair. They rip the Bishop out of his tomb And break the mitre off of his head. "See," say they, "the man is dead; He cannot shiver or sing. We'll toss for his ring."
The cobbles see this all along the street Coming—coming—on countless feet. And the clockmen mark the hours as they go. But slow—slow— The swans float In the Bishop's moat. And the inn swan Sits on and on, Staring before him with cold glass eyes. Only the Bishop walks serene, Pleased with his church, pleased with his house, Pleased with the sound of the hammered bell, Beating his doom. Saying "Boom! Boom! Room! Room!" He is old, and kind, and deaf, and blind, And very, very pleased with his charming moat And the swans which float.

# American Poetry 1922/The Rock

THE ROCK
This rock, too, was a word; A word of flame and force when that which hurled The stars into their places in the night First stirred.
And, in the summer's heat, Lay not your hand on it, for while the iron hours beat Gray anvils in the sky, it glows again With unfulfilled desire.
Touch it not; let it stand Ragged, forlorn, still looking in the land; The dry blue chaos of mountains in the distance, The slender blades of grass it shelters are Its own dark thoughts of what is near and far. Your thoughts are yours, too; naked let them stand.

# American Poetry 1922/Twenty-four Hokku on a Modern Theme

TWENTY-FOUR HOKKU ON A MODERN THEME
I
Again the larkspur, Heavenly blue in my garden. They, at least, unchanged.
II
How have I hurt you? You look at me with pale eyes, But these are my tears.
III
Morning and evening— Yet for us once long ago Was no division.
IV
I hear many words. Set an hour when I may come Or remain silent.
V
In the ghostly dawn I write new words for your ears— Even now you sleep.
VI
This then is morning. Have you no comfort for me Cold-colored flowers?
VII
My eyes are weary Following you everywhere. Short, oh short, the days!
VIII
When the flower falls The leaf is no more cherished. Every day I fear.
IX
Even when you smile Sorrow is behind your eyes. Pity me, therefore.
X
Laugh—it is nothing. To others you may seem gay, I watch with grieved eyes.
XI
Take it, this white rose. Stems of roses do not bleed; Your fingers are safe.
XII
As a river-wind Hurling clouds at a bright moon, So am I to you.
XIII
Watching the iris, The faint and fragile petals— How am I worthy?
XIV
Down a red river I drift in a broken skiff. Are you then so brave?
XV
Night lies beside me Chaste and cold as a sharp sword. It and I alone.
XVI
Last night it rained. Now, in the desolate dawn, Crying of blue jays.
XVII
Foolish so to grieve, Autumn has its colored leaves— But before they turn?
XVIII
Afterwards I think: Poppies bloom when it thunders. Is this not enough?
XIX
Love is a game—yes? I think it is a drowning: Black willows and stars.
XX
When the aster fades The creeper flaunts in crimson. Always another!
XXI
Turning from the page, Blind with a night of labor, I hear morning crows.
XXII
A cloud of lilies, Or else you walk before me. Who could see clearly?
XXIII
Sweet smell of wet flowers Over an evening garden. Your portrait, perhaps?
XXIV
Staying in my room, I thought of the new Spring leaves. That day was happy.
