# The Green Pastures (1929)/Part 2/Scene 5

Layout 2
Scene V
Under a low ceiling is a room vaguely resembling a Negro night club in New Orleans. Two or three long tables run across the room, and on the left is a table on a dais with a gaudy canopy above it. The table bears a card marked “Reserved for King and guests.”
Flashy young men and women are seated at the tables. About a dozen couples are dancing in the foreground to the tune of a jazz orchestra. The costumes are what would be worn at a Negro masquerade to represent the debauchees of Babylon.
First Man
When did yuh git to Babylon?
Second Man
I jes’ got in yesterday.
Third Man [Dancing]
How do you like dis baby, Joe?
Fourth Man
Hot damn! She could be de King’s pet!

AUNT SUSAN,
THE DEAR AND HANDSOME OLD LADY WHO NEVER NEEDED ANY OF THESE RECIPES,
LET ME OFFER MY FIRST BOOK.

### PREFACE.

By means of these scattered chapters the writer has come to know women better—their traditions, desires, and delights. If through these pages women should know themselves. and what they may become in regard and temper for their lovers, friends, children, and their own sakes, it will well reward the pleasant labor which has already met such kind. appreciation. Begun by chance, to make an agreeable article or two for Harper's Bazar, the "Ugly-Girl Papers" were continued by request, and have brought the writer into friendly bearings with many of the readers of the Bazar. To their questions and hints these chapters owe more of their value than ​appears on the surface; and the little book goes out hoping to meet, if not new friends, at least some old ones.
The science of the toilet is well-nigh as delicate as that of medicine; and as no prescription has yet proved a specific for disease, no recipe can reach all cases of complexion. I could wish for this book the good-will and consideration of physicians, under whose advice it may be hoped its suggestions will ap prove themselves of wide service.

# Krilof and His Fables/The Elephant As Governor

The Elephant As Governor.
An Elephant was once appointed ruler of a forest. Now, it is well known that the race of elephants is endowed with great intelligence; but every family has its unworthy scion. Our Governor was as stout as the rest of his race are, but as foolish as the rest of his race are not. As to his character, he would not intentionally hurt a fly. Well, the worthy Governor becomes aware of a petition laid before him by the Sheep, stating that their skins are entirely torn off their backs by the Wolves.
"Oh, rogues!" cries the Elephant, "what a crime! Who gave you leave to plunder?
​But the Wolves say,
"Allow us to explain, О father. Did not you give us leave to take from the Sheep a trifling contribution for our pelisses in winter? It is only because they are stupid sheep that they cry out. They have only a single fleece taken from each of them, but they grumble about giving even that!"
"Well, well," says the Elephant, "take care what you do. I will not permit any one to commit injustice. As it must be so, take a fleece from each of them. But do not take from them a single hair besides."
He who has rank and power, but wants sense, however good his heart may be, is sure to do harm.
# Krilof and His Fables/The Quartette

The Quartette.
The tricksy Monkey, the Goat, the Ass, and bandylegged Mishka the Bear, determine to play a quartette. They provide themselves with the necessary pieces of music—with two fiddles, and with an alto and a counter-bass. Then they sit down on a meadow under a lime-tree, prepared to enchant the world by their skill. They work away at their fiddlesticks with a will; and they make a noise, but there is no music in it.
"Stop, brothers, stop!" cries the Monkey, "wait a little! How can we get our music right? It 's plain, you mustn't sit as you are. You, Mishka, with your counter-bass, face ​the alto. I will sit opposite the second fiddle. Then a different sort of music will begin: we shall set the very hills and forests dancing."
So they change places, and recommence; but the music is just as discordant as before.
"Stop a little," exclaims the Ass; "I have found out the secret. We shall be sure to play in tune if we sit in a row."
They follow its advice, and form in an orderly line. But the quartette is as unmusical as ever. Louder than before there arose among them squabbling and wrangling as to how they ought to be seated. It happened that a Nightingale came flying that way, attracted by their noise. At once they all intreat it to solve their difficulty.
"Be so kind," they say, "as to bear with us a little, in order that our quartette may come off properly. Music we have; instruments we have: tell us only how we ought to place ourselves."
But the Nightingale replies,
"To be a musician, one must have a quicker intelligence and a finer ear than you possess. You, my friends, may place yourselves just as you like, but you will never become musicians."
[Some writers say this fable alludes to the foundation, in March, 1811, of the "Society of Lovers of Russian Litera­ture," which had four departments, and seemed more like a public office than a literary institution, and the members of which had places allotted to them according to their rank ​rather than to their talents. But Baron Korf says it refers to the disputes about places which arose among the firs Presidents of the four departments of the Imperial Council, at the time of its reconstruction, in the year 1810.]

# The Magic Island/Foreword

THE MAGIC ISLAND
Foreword
Our West Indian mail boat lay at anchor in a tropical green gulf.
From the palm-fringed shore a great mass of mountains rose, fantastic and mysterious. Dark jungle covered their near slopes, but high beyond the jungle, blue-black, bare ranges piled up, towering.
At the water's edge, lit by the sunset, sprawled the town of Cap Haïtien. Our boat lay so close that in the bright, fading light it was easy to distinguish landmarks.
Here amid more modern structures were the wrecked mansions of the sixteenth-century French colonials who had imported slaves from Africa and made Haiti the richest colony in the western hemisphere.
Here was the paved pleasance on the waterfront, scene of white massacres when the blacks rose with fire and sword.
Here in ruins was the palace built for Pauline Bonaparte when Napoleon sent his brother-in-law with an imperial army to do battle with slaves who had won their freedom.
On a peak behind the Cape loomed the gigantic fortress which the self-crowned black king Christophe had built after every soldier of that white imperial army was dead or had sailed back to France.
And now above the present-day government headquarters in the town floated the red-blue flag made by ripping the white from the French tricolor. Thus it has floated for more than a hundred years as the symbolic emblem of black freedom.
All this was panoramic as we lay at anchor in the sunset, but as night fell it faded to vagueness and disappeared.
​Only the jungle mountains remained, dark, mysterious; and from their slopes came presently far out across the water the steady boom of Voodoo drums.

Omega
By HOWELL CALHOUN
I gaze upon a barren, ghostly world, Devoid of ought but grayish, crumbling earth, Alone, through space, in stygian void fast hurled By some weird force. And yet, upon her girth The pyramids of Egypt once were spread. Whence went they? Night, the monstrous spider, now, Web-filled, spins softly her eternal thread.
To think that once some deep-knit, throbbing brow Conceived of floating space-ships, manned by kings, With cargoes of sweet spices and rich gems, Which winged toward Mars and Saturn's whirling rings; Of foreign moons, and telescopes with stems Abysmal. Man's dreams, buried in this run Of tabid clay; what has Jehovah done?

# Krilof and His Fables/The Inquisitive Man

The Inquisitive Man.
"Good day, dear friend; where do you come from?"
"From the Museum, where I have spent three hours. I saw everything they have there, and examined it carefully. So much have I seen to astonish me, that, if you will believe me, I am neither strong enough nor clever enough to give you a full description of it. Upon my word it is a palace of wonders. How rich Nature is in invention! What birds and beasts haven't I seen there! What flies, butterflies, cockroaches, little bits of beetles!—some like emeralds, others like coral. And what tiny cochineal insects! Why, really, some of them are smaller than a pin's head."
"But did you see the elephant? What did you think it looked like? I'll be bound you felt as if you were looking at a mountain."
"Are you quite sure it's there?"
"Quite sure."
"Well, brother, you mustn't be too hard upon me; but, to tell the truth, I didn't remark the elephant."
[Bulgarine states that Krilof wrote this fable in allusion to the remark of some one, perhaps Prince Viazemsky, that ​each of the three great fabulists, La Fontaine, Khemnitser, and Dmitrief, bore the name of Ivan,—thus omitting all notice of Ivan Krilof. But the story does not seem to rest on any substantial authority, and it is entirely out of keeping with all the other anecdotes about Krilof, who was remarkably modest and unpretentious.]
# Krilof and His Fables/The Cook and the Cat

The Cook and the Cat.
A certain Cook, rather more educated than his fellows, went from his kitchen one day to a neighbouring tavern—he was of a serious turn of mind, and on that day he cele­brated the anniversary of a friend's death—leaving a Cat at home, to guard his viands from the mice. On his return, what does he see? The floor strewed with fragments of a pie, and Vaska the Cat crouching in a corner behind a vinegar-barrel, purring with satisfaction, and busily engaged in disposing of a chicken.
"Ah, glutton! ah, evil-doer!" exclaims the reproachful Cook. "Are you not ashamed of being seen by these walls, ​let alone living witnesses? What! be an honourable Cat up to this time—one who might be pointed out as a model of discretion! And now, ah me! how great a disgrace! Now all the neighbours will say, 'The cat Vaska is a rogue; the cat Vaska is a thief. Vaska must not be admitted into the kitchen, not even into the courtyard, any more than a ravenous wolf into the sheepfold. He is utterly corrupt; he is a pest, the plague of the neighbourhood.'"
Thus did our orator, letting loose the current of his words, lecture away without stopping. But what was the result? While he was delivering his discourse, Vaska the Cat ate up the whole of the chicken.
I would advise some cooks to inscribe these words on their walls: "Don't waste time in useless speech, when it is action that is needed."
# Krilof and His Fables/The Musicians

The Musicians.
A certain man invited a neighbour to dinner, not without an ulterior purpose. He was fond of music, and he entrapped his neighbour into his house to listen to his choir. The honest fellows began to sing, each on his own account, and each with all his might. The guest's ears began to split, and his head to turn.
"Have pity on me!" he exclaimed, in amazement. "What can any one like in all this? Why, your choristers bawl like madmen."
"It's quite true," replied the host, with feeling. "They do flay one's ears just a trifle. But, on the other hand, ​they are all of irreproachable behaviour, and they never touch a drop of intoxicating liquor."
But, I say, in my opinion you had better drink a little, if needs be: only take care to understand your business thoroughly.

WINTER.
Cold—piercing cold!
And Time's life current, so free and bold, Congeals in his veins as the year grows old. Keen and clear the Aurora gleams On skeleton forests and coffined streams: Night dews freezing as they fall On the stiff stark earth in her wide white pall; Ghostly cloud-wreaths hurrying past, Shivering down the icy blast; A silver world set in an iron sky, And a steel-bright moon for company.

“Yet once more on the organ play To me, old neighbour mine; Try if my heart may be refreshed Still by its tones divine—”
The sick one prayed, the neighbour played, So played he ne’er before; So glorious are the tones that he Knows his own touch no more.
’Tis some unearthly blessed strain Bursts forth as he doth play— He stops with awe—the list’ner’s soul Hath gently passed away.
