# The Conservative (Lovecraft)/July 1917/In Vita Elysium

In Vita Elysium.
By Ira A. Cole.
Mortal, why dream'st thou of the after-while, And gods who wait thy death ere they may smile? Why build thy heaven in some future time, On other shores and in another clime? Why mourn'st thou that the world is all awry, And man alone must live that he may die? Canst nothing see in all this beauteous land So fair as that thou buildest with thy hand? Canst see no heaven or no gracious God In these fair hills or on this em'rald sod? Canst feel no pulsing in this happy life To tell thee that the world with love is rife? Canst feel no rapture in the springtime's breath So sweet as that thou dreamest after death; Or see no beauty in the summer sky To woo thee back to earth when thou shalt die? Canst hear no music in October's rills So soft as that thy fancy's heaven fills: And canst thou never quite contented be Save roaming worlds unknown to all save thee? O Man! vain egotist! why search so long For note to rival Nature's wondrous song? Behold! thou mockest God, thou puny wight, To find no favour in so grand a sight. Dost think, thou sluggard, aught thy mind might build Could rival this one world that God hath will'd; Dost think thy craven intellect so vast Could hold this earthly wonder still and last, Ignoring yet that silent ether space That night's bright multitudes in splendour grace; Or those far realms beyond the faintest star Where still God's wonders in their beauty are? Go hide thyself alone, ungrateful wretch, Midst those vast dunes whore Afric's deserts stretch, Or lose thyself in Arctic’s icy waste, If thou the mystery of life wouldst taste! Go climb the mountain's height, or ride the sea, Or learn life's vibrant song from forest tree; Go hide thine arrogance 'neath tundras' tide, And hear the notes the sedgy stringlets guide; Or seek those inland seas of surging green Where far the restless trades of fall careen. Go! Go! vain man, to those unbounded fanes
Where God's one proven priest--fair Nature--reigns: 'Tis there, releas'd, (else blind and deaf thou art) The chains that bind thy soul from the will start-- Uplifted, glad, thy spirit then shall know That life is light, and heaven's here below!

Sweet Frailty.
I should rather be A slow'r for a day Than an age-old rock Grown harden'd and gray.
I'd rather be the tiniest flow'r That blinks in wonder at King Sun. And shivers at rough North Wind's pow'r; That glows with hope, trusts Nature's heart, And sweetly lives for Just one hour, And then--is crush'd by careless feet!
Than be the mighty boulder grim That crowns some overhanging cliff For ages long, pois'd on the brim, Defying storm and avalanche, Untouch'd by dew or starlight din. Then--falls to kill a caravan!
I should rather be A flow'r for a day Than an age-old rock Grown harden'd and gray.

# Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1800, "Monro's Tragedy")/The Lucky Escape

The Lucky Escape
I that once was a ploughman a ſailor am now, No lark that aloft in the ſky, Ever flatter’d his wings to give ſpeed to the plough Was ſo gay and ſo careleſs as I, Was ſo gay and ſo careleſs as I; But my friend was a carpenter a board a king’s ſhip And he ax’d me to go juſt to ſea for a trip; And he talk’d of ſuch things As if ſailors were kings, And ſo teaſing did keep That I left my poor plow to go ploughing the deep No longer the horn call’d me up in the morn No longer the horn call’d me up in the morn I truſted the carpenter and the inconſtant wind, That made me for to go and leave my dear behind.
I did not like much to be a board a ſhip When in danger there is no door to creep out; I lik’d the jolly tars I lik’d bumbo and flip But did not like rocking about: By and by came a hurrican, I did not like that, Next a battle that many a ſailor laid flat; Ah! cried I, who would roam, That like me had a home: When I’d ſow and I’d reap, Ere I left my poor plough to ploughing in the deep,
Where ſweetly the horn Call’d me up in the morn, Ere I truſted to the carpenter and the inconſtant wind, That made me for to go and leave my dear behind.
At laſt ſafe I landed, and in a whole ſkin, Nor did I make any long ſtay, Ere I found by a friend, I ax’d for my kin, Father dead and my wife ran away! Ah who but thyſelf, ſaid I haſt thou to blame? Wive, loſing their huſbands oft loſt their good name. Ah! why did I roam When ſo happy at home, I could ſow I could reap, Ere I left my poor plough to go ploughing the deep; When ſo ſweetly the horn Call’d me up in the morn, Curſe light upon the carpenter and the inconſtant wind That made me for to go and leave my dear behind.
Why if that be the caſe, ſaid the very ſame friend, And you ben‘t no more minded to roam, Gies a ſhake by the fiſt, all your care’s at an end Dad’s alive and your wife’s ſafe at home; Stark ſtaring with joy, I leapt out of my ſkin, Buſs’d my wife, mother, ſiſter, and all of my kin, Now cried I let them roam Who want a good home, I am well ſo I’ll keep, Nor again leave my plough to go ploughing the deep; Once more ſhall the horn Call me up in the morn, Nor ſhall any damn’d carpenter, nor the inconſtant wind, Ere tempt me for to go and leave my dear behind.
# Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1800, "Monro's Tragedy")/The Lady's Love with a Prentice Boy

The Lady’s love with a Prentice Boy.
Down in Cupid’s garden for pleaſure I did walk, I heard two pretty lovers ſo ſweetley for to talk, ’Tis of a briſk young lady and a young prentice boy, In private ſhe was courting, for he was all her joy.
He ſaid dear honour’d lady I am your prentice boy, How can I ever think a lady to enjoy; His cheeks were red as roſes, his humours were ſo free, My dear if I do marry I’m ſure it ſhall be thee
When her parents came the ſame to underſtand, The young man he was baniſhed unto a foreign land, Whilſt ſhe lay broken-hearted, lamenting ſhe did cry, For my handſome charming prentice a maid I’ll live and die.
This youth to a merchant a waiting-man was bound And by his good behaviour great fortune he found, He ſoon became his butler which promoted him to fame And by his own conſent a ſteward ſoon became.
For fortune in the lottery his money he put down, Whereby he gain’d a ticket 2 cool Then with gold and ſilver his clothes he lac’d indeed, To England he returned to his true love with ſpeed,
He offer’d to embrace her, ſhe flew from his arms, No lord, duke, or nobleman ſhall e’er enjoy my charms, Curſe all the gold that glitters, for riches I defy, And for my charming prentice a maid I’ll live and die
He ſaid honoured lady I have been in your arms, Here is the ring you gave me when feaſting on your charms
You vow’d if e’er you marry’d your charms I ſhould enjoy, Your father did me baniſh, I am the prentice boy.
When ſhe beheld his features ſhe flew into his arms, With kiſſes out of meaſure ſhe did enjoy his charms, Then thro’d Cupid’s garden the road to church they found, In everlaſting pleaſure in Hymen’s chains were bound,

The Irish Boy.
You laſſes of England and Ireland alſo, Come liſten a while and ſoon you ſhall know, How I have been wounded, by love I am ſlain, In the ſtrong walls of Bedlam I’m forc’d to remain.
When firſt I was courted by my loving Iriſh boy. He called me his jewel and his only joy, In fair Dublin city that place of great fame, Where my bonny Iriſh boy firſt a courting to me came.
He talked of love and he promiſed to wed But in a ſhort time after he ſtole my maiden head, So maidens don’t blame me I could not forbear, For the loving of my bonny Iriſh boy I do declare.
As down in the valleys chanced to walk, Oh! there I heard my bonny Iriſh boy for in talk, Where the pretty birds were ſinging and the larks ſoaring high, And my Iriſh boy was ſinging with his voice melodiouſly.
His teeth as white as ivory, his hair a lovely brown And o’er his portly ſhoulders ſo careleſsly hang down, So maidens believe me, my heart is like to break, But never truſt a falſe-hearted man again for my ſake.
He packed up his awls, and to England did fly, I packed up my jeweles and purſu’d him ſtraight, way And when I arrived in fair London town, They told me he was married to a lady of renown.
O now in Bedlam I am confin’d For loving of my Iriſh boy which makes me complain In the north ſide of Bedlam I’m plain to be ſeen, For loving of an Iriſh boy who is my darling ſwain.

One Bottle More.
Assist me you lads who have hearts void of guile, ſo ſing forth the praiſes of Hibernia’s fair iſle, Where true hoſpitality opens the door, And friendſhip detains us for one bottle more.
Old Englands your taunts on our country forbear, Without bulls and our brogues we are true and ſincere For if but one bottle we have got in our ſtore, We have generous hearts to give that bottle more.
At Candy’s in Church ſtreet I’ll ſing of a ſet, Of ſix Iriſh blades who together had met, With their gallons a piece made them call for their ſtove And nothing remains but one bottle morn
The bill being call’d for they were loth to depart, For friendſhp had grappl’d each honeſt man’s heart; For the leaſt touch, you know makes an Iriſhman roar, And a whack from ſhelelah brings twelve bottles more,
Then Phebus ſhone thro’ the windows ſo bright, Quite happy to view our dear children of light, We parted with hearts neither ſorry nor ſore, Reſolving next to drink twelve bottles more.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Shelley, Mrs. Mary Wollstonecraft

Shelley, Mrs. Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin) (1797-1851). -- Novelist, b. in London, the only child of William Godwin (q.v.) and Mary Wollstonecraft, his wife (q.v.). In 1814 she went to the Continent with P.B. Shelley (q.v.), and m. him two years later. When abroad she saw much of Byron, and it was at his villa on the Lake of Geneva that she conceived the idea of her famous novel of Frankenstein (1818), a ghastly but powerful work. None of her other novels, including The Last Man and Lodore, had the same success. She contributed biographies of foreign artists and authors to Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopædia, and ed. her husband's poems.

# The Rocky Mountain Saints/Chapter 21

* THE PROPHET'S POLITICAL LIFE BEGINS.
* New Men gather round him
* A Reorganization of the "Quorum of Apostles"
* Another Temple to be erected
* "The Lord" commands the Saints to build a "Boarding-House"
* Kings are invited to the aid of Zion.
In Nauvoo the Prophet saw himself and his people in circumstances totally different from those in Missouri. He had scattered the Mormons in that State in order that they might become the possessors of the land surrounding the "New Jerusalem," and that they might preserve it as "an everlasting inheritance for the Saints." In Illinois he had now to concentrate them. Other circumstances demanded other tactics. He had sent off the preaching apostles to England; he now drew around him politicians. From this time an entirely different class of men became prominent in Mormon history and fluttered around the Prophet.
A Whig Senator and a Whig Representative had introduced the memorial to Congress. The Democratic Association in Quincy had rendered the exiles some services when they came fleeing from Missouri. Both Whigs and Democrats realized the strength of a united vote, and that Joseph could command it, and they sought to gratify his wishes. Thus in apparent triumph he became enmeshed in that whirlpool which was destined to engulph him.

* THE FICKLE FORTUNE OF POLITICS.
* The Legislature liberal to the Saints
* The Prophet becomes a Lieutenant-General
* Foundation of the Temple laid
* Grand Military Display
* Joseph at the Height of his Glory
* Missouri seeks to recapture him.
The Saints had contributed largely to the success of the Whig ticket in 1840, and the Democrats comprehended clearly the advantage it would be to them to secure their influence. When Joseph's agents presented themselves to the Legislature of Illinois, during the session of 1840–1, asking for a city charter for Nauvoo, and the incorporation of the militia into a body to be called " the Nauvoo Legion," they were very kindly received and their wishes hastily granted. The charters were passed without a dissenting voice.
The eleventh section of the city charter read thus:
   "All power is granted to the city council to make, ordain, establish, and execute all ordinances not repugnant to the Constitution of the State or of the United States, or, as they may deem necessary for the peace and safety of said city."
This was all that Joseph required. It was now for him to decide what was 66 necessary," and, had troubles not afterwards arisen in Illinois, the liberality of the charter would probably never have been regretted, for at that date Joseph was, in the sight of every law-abiding citizen, justified in seeking, by every means that had the appearance of constitutional law, to preserve himself and the people against the demands of Missouri.
The city charter provided for a mayor, four aldermen, and nine councillors, a mayor's court, with exclusive jurisdiction in all cases arising under the city ordinances; a municipal court, ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/168 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/169 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/170 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/171 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/172
# The Rocky Mountain Saints/Chapter 23

* POLITICAL DIFFICULTIES.
* The Prophet balances between the Whigs and the Democrats
* The Neighbours of the Mormons become dissatisfied
* Joseph charged with Designs upon the Life of Governor Boggs
* He is arrested on a Charge of Treason
* Ways that are dark
* Governor Ford explains
* The First Budding of Polygamy
* The Beginning of the End
* Serious Charges are made.
The people of Illinois were now becoming better acquainted with their new fellow-citizens and comprehending the inevitable political issue between a community voting as a unit and the divisional voting of promiscuous citizens. Their immediate neighbours were now as dissatisfied with their presence as were the Missourians formerly, and serious charges were preferred against them.
Joseph Smith and the Mormons had their own purposes and advancement to serve, and they used the Whigs or the Democrats as best suited them. This the politicians fully appreciated and were ready for any measure that would rid them of the power that threatened to control them. Meetings and conventions were held and an anti-Mormon organization was formed for the purpose of urging the Legislature to cancel the liberal charter that had been granted to Nauvoo, to disband the Legion and, if possible, to get rid of the Mormons altogether. Whigs and Democrats were equally hostile and equally zealous in the work, but the Prophet for a time out-generalled them all and maintained his own.
A citizen of Nauvoo, in his narrative of those days and circumstances, groups together the facts and fears that then agitated the anti-Mormons:
   "The issue was for the first time clearly drawn, the election in due time came off, and the Prophet was triumphant. He had elected everything ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/174 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/175 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/176 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/177 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/178 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/179

* JOSEPH PREDICTS THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ZION.
* He designs to found there an Independent State
* Becomes a Candidate for the Presidency of the United States
* Assails Clay and Calhoun
* Great Trouble with Apostates
* Politics and Polygamy threaten to engulf him
* The Nauvoo Expositor founded and destroyed
* Writs issued for the Arrest of the Prophet
* He resolves on Flight.
Harassed by prosecutions from every side, in constant danger of being surprised and carried off to Missouri, and realizing that political jealousies were working up the State of Illinois against him and the Mormon people, the Prophet turned his eyes towards the Pacific to find there an abiding-place for Zion. As early as 1842, he prophesied that the Saints would remove to the Rocky Mountains, and in the spring of 1844, while troubles were increasing upon him, he selected a company of men to explore that unknown region, prophesying at the same time that within five years from that date, the Saints should be located there beyond the influence of mobs. In his private history he writes under date of February 20th, 1844:
   "I instructed the Twelve Apostles to send out a delegation and investigate the localities, California and Oregon, and hunt out a good location where we can remove to after the Temple is completed and where we can build a city in a day and have a government of our own: get up into the mountains where the devil cannot dig us out, and live in a healthy climate where we can live as old as we have a mind to."
His design was to found an independent State somewhere west of the Rocky Mountains, and to further that end he sent a delegation to Washington seeking the countenance and, if possible, the coöperation of the Government to his scheme. The apostle Hyde, as chief of that delegation, wrote from the ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/181 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/182 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/183 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/184 ​Page:The Rocky Mountain Saints.djvu/185

* The Destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor a Fatal Error
* The Militia in Arms
* The Murder of the Prophet planned
* His Enemies resolve to kill him while Governor Ford visits Nauvoo
* A Review of the Prophet's Life and Works.
Mrs. Emma Smith, to whom Joseph was warmly devoted, notwithstanding the number of the other Mrs. Smiths, held empire in his heart, and at this critical moment was used by Image missingThe Prophet surrenders to the Law. some "faint-hearted brethren" to beg Joseph's return to Nauvoo. The lady is said to have written, to him and to his brother Hyrum who was with him, "a cruel and indignant letter," reproaching them as "coward shepherds who had left the sheep in danger and fled." Joseph was anything but a "coward," and though he seemed to fully comprehend the danger of his position, he resolved at once to return to Nauvoo and give himself up to the officers of the law.
Governor Ford furnishes the incidents leading to the assassination of the two brothers:

# Finality (Jackson)

Anthology of Magazine Verse, 1921
FINALITY The farm was lonely, set so far Back from the town;
If neighbors came, he'd rant and rave
If they sat down. And when they went he forced upon Her hateful thought,
And nagged; made ugly use of words
With meaning fraught. Her back was bent with work she'd done Beyond her strength;
For he planned more than she could do
In each day's length. The days seemed all alike to her Until, one day,
She found a blue bird, maimed in wing,
So bright and gay She loved it, cared for it, and soon The bird loved her;
When he came, she would hide it and
It would not stir. One noon he came and caught her with  :The bird in play;
He killed it right before her in
A fearful way. A neighbor came, to ask about A plough, that night;
He never could forget that strange
And awful sight. She'd used the kitchen knife on him And he was dead;
She sat, a bruised and battered thing
From feet to head, And hummed a little song, or spoke A tender word,
And tried to make blue feathers stay
Upon a bird!

# The UN Must Act to Bring Peace to Europe

Published February 21st state.gov
President Trump is committed to ending the Russia-Ukraine war and to a resolution that leads to a lasting peace, not just a temporary pause. This Monday, February 24, will mark three years of the Russia-Ukraine war.  This war has now dragged on for far too long, and at far too terrible a cost to Ukraine and Russia.
The United States has proposed a simple, historic resolution in the United Nations that we urge all member states to support in order to chart a path to peace. This resolution is consistent with President Trump’s view that the UN must return to its founding purpose, as enshrined in the UN Charter, to maintain international peace and security, including through the peaceful settlement of disputes. If the United Nations is truly committed to its original purpose, we must acknowledge that while challenges may arise, the goal of lasting peace remains achievable. Through support of this resolution, we affirm that this conflict is awful, that the UN can help end it, and that peace is possible.
We strongly believe that this is the moment to commit to ending the war. This is our opportunity to build real momentum toward peace. We urge all UN member states to join the United States in this solemn pursuit.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).
