# The Conservative (Lovecraft)/July 1923/Ennui

Ennui By Anatol Kleinst
When the earth blossomed and was green again, I denied the god of desolation and went among the trees. I breathed incense, and I knew that the gods of the forest were breathing their offerings to the implacable blue sky. I breathed of it as would the sky, had it any soul, and knowing that the sky had none, I was a god. For a moment joy was in me.
But the spirit of desolation was angry, and smote me. I did not see him; the grass, the flowers, sun and wind still moulded their evanescent palaces of warm perfume; but the will of my god is mighty, and he supplants these things. Then desire glistened in my brain, like a grey moon when the stars are out; I desired joy and lo! it had slipped away, and left not even sorrow in its place. And my desire grew strong, and I felt the strength of it through all my spirit; and I envisioned my dead sister Pain and would have sung to her in a high and melancholy voice. I would have sung to her of the cruel moist lips of love, and of the agony that creates hope, of immeasurable fair gardens that mock the frenzy of fine words, of the ruin that comes to dreams in the morning: I would have chanted to the lonely bones of the desert the purity and exaltation that was once Pain. But the words were harsh, and the savour of their sickly passion suddenly cast me into despair. “Ai; Ai! Thou that dreamed of mountains and would be a God! Thou that spurned men and rebuilt fallen castles, and sang at night, in ​the desert, the anthem of your immemorial pride! Thy voice is pallid, it is not the voice of man, it is not the hymn of thy sister Pain; and as you speak you dishonour the crystalline vapours that are words, for your soul is empty, and its voice is hollow.” And I beat my breast, and quaffed unspeakable red wines, and called to my garden the dancers of Eudemia, who danced before me with no garment, and were not ashamed, for they loved me. And I cried at them to go away, and pored over the beautiful mad parchments of old poets, and knew the thing that drove them mad. But in all this the voice of despair laughed always as men do not ever laugh, while it sucked the blood of my heart and sent it poisoned through strange channels in my breast.
Then I regained my voice, and it rose to the grey mansion of my God, saying, “Behold, you have taken away joy and beauty, give me now suffering, that I may feel one of men, and let me weep with the beggar at the cross-roads!” But my God spoke only in his old accents of despair......
Then I grew angry, and denied again my God. And the mocking sharp voice of despair rose higher and became pale song. And this is what it sang, to the tepid sands of my little desert, as the sky was silent.

# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/The Martyrs of Royal-Lieu

The Abbess of Royal-Lieu fell a victim to the revolutionary madness. She and her numerous sisterhood were led to the scaffold on the same day. On their way from the prison to the guillotine, they all chanted the Veni Creator. Their arrival at the place of execution did not interrupt their strains; one head fell, and ceased to join its voice with the celestial chorus—but the song continued. The Abbess suffered last; and her single voice still raised the devout versicle. It ceased at once—and the silence of death ensued.—Madame Campan's Memoirs.

YARMOUTH—At one time called "Fourchu," i. e., "forked or cloven cape." It was given this name by Champlain in 1604, "inasmuch as its figure was so." The present name first appears in a grant made in September 1759, in which it is provided that the tract of land hitherto known as Cape Fourchu "shall be a township to be called hereafter and known by the name of the Township of Yarmouth."
Some authorities say it was named after the Township and Town of Yarmouth in the State of Massachusetts; others say this is absurd, although it is admitted that some of the earliest settlers came from that place.
Mr. Campbell, a Yarmouth historian, states that Cape Fourchu River was by the English named the "Yar," and infers that the County received its name in this manner.
As all the counties were evidently named by English authorities, it would appear that Yarmouth was named as Digby, Shelburne, etc. after an English titled personage of that time.
The Indians called Yarmouth "Keespongwitk," meaning "Land's End."
The Indian name for Yarmouth River was "Maligeak," meaning "fretful waters," which appears to be the same name they applied to Malaga Lakes in Queens County.
The district of Yarmouth was cut off from Shelburne County in 1836, and made an independent county. The Township of Argyle was included. Yarmouth Town was incorporated in the year 1890. The first settlers of Yarmouth were Acadian French and refugees from New England. Yarmouth County is divided into two Townships—Yarmouth and Argyle. The County contains 736 sq. miles.

Two Great Novels by Jack London
Smoke Bellew
The sting of real appetite, the goodly ache of fatigue, the rush of mad, strong blood that bites like wine through all one's body as work is done, love and comradeship such as the world of civilization seldom knows—all these are vividly portrayed in this splendid tale of adventure and love in the Klondike.
Eight full-page illustrations by Monahan.
Price $1.30 net, postage 13 cents.
The Abysmal Brute
The "abysmal brute"was young Pat Glendon, a marvel as a prize-fighter, a clean-thinking, clean-living, poetry-loving young giant. How his father, old Pat, trained him in the wilds; how Stubener, a star manager, managed the young fellow through many startling events, till the eyes of a girl and young Pat's own discovery of the rottenness of ring management drove young Pat back to the wilds—this is the story—told as only Jack London can tell it. The girl is as different from her kind as Pat is from his. Does she go with him to the mountains he loves? That is part of the story, too.

​HER′ACLI′AN (A.D. ?–413). A Roman general. At the instance of the Emperor Honorius, he put Stilicho to death (A.D. 408), and received the Government of Africa as his reward. After supporting the Emperor during the invasion of Alaric and the usurpation of Attalus, whom Alaric had made Emperor, Heraclian revolted and invaded Italy. His enterprise failed, however, and on his return to Carthage he was put to death by order of Honorius.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Heraclidæ

Edition of 1905. See also Heracleidae on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​HERACLIDÆ, hĕr′ȧ-klī′dē̇ (Lat., from Gk. Ἡρακλεῖδαι, Hērakleidai, descendants of Hercules, from Ἡρακλῆς, Hēraklēs, Hercules). (1) The name is applied specifically to those legendary descendants who were said to have led the Dorians in the conquest of the Peloponnesus. The legend told of an unsuccessful attempt by Hyllus, son of Heracles, to recover the inheritance from which Eurystheus had driven him, and then, 100 years later, of the successful invasion, led by his great-grandsons Temenus, Cresphontes, and Aristodemus, sons of Aristomachus. They defeated Tisamenus, son of Orestes and grandson of Agamemnon, and gained possession of the Peloponnesus. Argos fell to Temenus; Lacedæmon to Procles and Eurystheus, the sons of Aristodemus; Messenia to Cresphontes; Elis to the Ætolian Oxylus; Arcadia alone remained undisturbed. This story of the return of the Heraclidæ seems to owe its development to the epic, rather than to popular tradition, and is an attempt to explain the change from the conditions of the Homeric poems to those of the period after the Dorian conquest. The poems of Tyrtæus show its general acceptance in Sparta about B.C. 650. It is the later legendary account of the Dorian conquest, which from its nature must in reality have been a much more obstinate and protracted struggle. Consult the histories of Greece by Thirlwall, Grote (older views), Holm, and Busolt, and especially Meyer, Geschichte des Altertums, ii. (Stuttgart, 1893).
(2) A tragedy by Euripides, brought out about B.C. 420. It tells of the persecution of the sons of the dead Heracles by Eurystheus and their reception and protection by Athens. The children of Heracles, under the leadership of Iolaus, come to Marathon, and the Athenians gain a victory over the Argives through the voluntary sacrifice of Macaria, daughter of Heracles. Eurystheus is taken prisoner and surrendered to Alcmene, who demands his death. The play was meant to represent to Sparta how unnatural her contemplated alliance with Argos during the Peloponnesian War would be, and was directed against the Argive party in Athens.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Heraclides Ponticus

Edition of 1905. See also Heraclides Ponticus on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​HER′ACLI′DES PONTICUS (Lat., from Gk. Ἡρακλείδης, Hērakleidēs, and Pontus). A Greek philosopher of the fourth century B.C., born at Heraclea in Pontus. At Athens he became a disciple of Plato, whom he represented during the latter’s absence in Sicily. Later, however, he attached himself to Aristotle. His numerous writings covered many fields, including philosophy, grammar, music, physics, rhetoric, political and literary history, and geography. Critical and philosophical ability were apparently not possessed by him in a high degree, for his philosophical works were early neglected. His biographical and grammatical treatises, however, enjoyed a long popularity. Diogenes Laërtius praises his style, while Cicero blames him for his fondness for marvelous tales. The extracts, On Constitutions, which bear the name of Heraclides, are only a poor compilation from Aristotle’s Politics, and should be attributed to Heraclides Lembos (second century A.D.). This work was edited by Schneidewin (Göttingen, 1847), and by Kaibel and Wilamowitz, as an appendix to their edition of Aristotle’s Constitution of Athens (Berlin, 1898). The fragments of Heraclides’s writings were collected by Müller, Fragmenta Historicorum Græcorum, vol. ii. (Paris, 1848). Consult: Voss, De Heraclidis Pontici Vita et Scriptis (Leipzig, 1896); and Schmidt, De Heraclidæ Pontici et Dicæarchi Messenii Dialogis Deperditis (Breslau, 1867).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Heraclitus

Edition of 1905. See also Heraclitus on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​HERACLITUS (Lat., from Gk. Ἡράκλειτος, Hērakleitos). A Greek philosopher who flourished about B.C. 500, born at Ephesus in Asia Minor. From the obscurity of his writings he was nicknamed "The Dark' (ὁ σκοτεινός). Only one work, that On Nature, can be attributed to him. Of this, numerous fragments are preserved by later writers. Heraclitus’s philosophy was a development of the Ionic doctrine under the influence of Xenophanes. The principle of all things according to him was fire, a self-determined ether, which by condensation and rarefaction creates the phenomena of the sensible world. To the ‘being’ of his predecessors he added the principle of ‘becoming.’ He held that all things are in constant flux, and that the appearance of stability is due to the uniformity of motion. His philosophy had a strong influence on later thinkers; Zeno recalled it, and Stoicism was based on its teaching. The fragments of his work are to be found in Mullach, Fragmenta Philosophorum Græcorum, vol. i. (Paris, 1860); Ritter and Preller, Historia Philosophia Græca (7th ed., Gotha, 1888). Consult: Zeller, Philosophie der Griechen (5th ed., vol. i., Leipzig, 1892); Patrick, The Fragments of the Work of Heraclitus (Baltimore, 1889).

# The New International Encyclopædia/Heræum

Edition of 1905. See also Heraion of Argos on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​HERÆ′UM (Lat., from Gk. Ἡραῖον, Hēraion). The Argive. The oldest and most noted sanctuary of Argolis, and the chief seat in Greece of the worship of Hera, situated on a spur of Mount Eubœa, between Argos and Mycenae. The original temple was burned in B.C. 423, and a new one built with great magnificence by the architect Eupolemos of Argos. Of the second building, Pausanias gives a detailed description. It contained two images of the goddess—one of wood, brought from Tiryns, and a statue of gold and ivory by Polyclitus. A few remains of the sculptures are preserved at Athens. The site of the Heræum has been excavated by the American School of Classical Studies (1891–95).
