United States Supreme Court
338 U.S. 384
O'Donnell v. Elgin J & E Railway Company
Argued: Oct. 21, 1949. --- Decided: Dec 12, 1949
Mr. Justice BURTON, with whom Mr. Justice REED concurs, dissenting.
We do not agree that the Safety Appliance Acts contain a mandatory requirement that cars used in moving interstate traffic must be equipped with couplers that 'will remain coupled until set free by some purposeful act of control.' Congress might have so legislated, as it did in the section which required cars to be equipped with 'efficient hand brakes; * * *.' See Myers v. Reading Co., 331 U.S. 477, 67 S.Ct. 1334, 91 L.Ed. 1615. However, it did not do so. Accordingly, the trial judge, on this phase of this case, was justified in omitting any instruction to the jury that, if the railroad used a car equipped with a coupler that broke in the switching operation, it thereby violated the Safety Appliance Acts.
In our view, the separating of the cars at the broken coupler was properly treated as material evidence from which the jury could infer that the railroad had violated the prohibition of the Acts against using cars 'not equipped with couplers coupling automatically by impact, and which can be uncoupled without the necessity of men going between the ends of the cars.' Vigor v. Chesapeake & Ohio R. Co., 101 F.2d 865. Cf. Johnson v. Southern Pacific Co., 196 U.S. 1, 25 S.Ct. 158, 49 L.Ed. 363. The jury was adequately instructed to that effect.

# Phil the Fluther's Ball

Have you heard of Phil the Fluther, of the town of Ballymuck? The times were going hard with him, in fact the man was broke. So he just sent out a notice to his neighbours, one an all. As to how he'd like their company that evening at a ball. And when writin' out he was careful to suggest to them, That if they found a hat of his convanient to the door, The more they put in, whenever he requested them The bether would the music be for battherin' the floor. With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle-O! Hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle-O! Up! down, hands around, crossing to the wall-O! Hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluther's Ball.
There was Mister Denis Dogherty, who kep' the runnin' dog; There was little crooked Paddy, from the Tiraloughett bog; There was boys from every Barony, and girls from ev'ry "art" And the beautiful Miss Bradys, in her private ass an' cart, And along with them came bouncing Mrs. Cafferty, Little Micky Mulligan was also to the fore, Rose, Suzanne, and Margaret O'Rafferty, The flower of Ardmagullion, and the pride of Pethravore. With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle-O! Hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle-O! Up! down, hands around, crossing to the wall-O! Hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluther's Ball.
First, little Micky Mulligan got up to show them how, And then the Widda' Cafferty steps out and makes her bow, I could dance you off your legs, sez she, as sure as you are born, If ye'll only make the piper play, "The hare was in the corn." So Phil plays up to the best of his ability, The lady and the gentleman begin to do their share; Faith, then Mick it's you that has agility, Begorra Mrs. Cafferty, yer leppin' like a hare! With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle-O! Hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle-O! Up! down, hands around, crossing to the wall-O! Hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluther's Ball.
Then Phil the Fluther tipped a wink to little Crooked Pat, "I think it's nearly time," sez he, "for passin' round the hat." So Paddy pass'd the caubeen round, and looking mighty cute. Sez, "Ye've got to pay the piper when he toothers on the flute." Then all joined in wid the greatest joviality, Covering the buckle, and the shuffle, and the cut; Jigs were danced, of the very finest quality, But the Widda' bet the company at "handling the fut." With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle-O! Hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle-O! Up! down, hands around, crossing to the wall-O! Hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluther's Ball.

# Poems (1898)/Survival

SURVIVAL
The knell that dooms the voiceless and obscure Stills Memnon's music with its ghostly chime; Strength is as weakness in the clasp of Time, And for the things that were there is no cure. The vineyard with its fair investiture, The mountain summit with its hoary rime, The throne of Cæsar, Cheops' tomb sublime, Alike decay, and only dreams endure. Dreams for Assyria her worship won, And India is hallowed by her dreams; The Sphinx with deathless visage views the race That like the lotus of a summer seems, And, rudderless, immortally sails on The wingèd Victory of Samothrace.
# Poems (1898)/The Chrysanthemum

This poem was not included in Mrs. Coates' collected Poems (1916, in 2 vols.).
THE CHRYSANTHEMUM
A Rose-tree, all ablush with opening flowers, Just nodded to the heliotrope and pink, Greeted the lilies by the fountain's brink And curtseyed toward the jasmine's star-wreathed bowers. She then perceived a plant which, in the hours Since May-time blossoms blew and bobolink Sang blithely, constant grew, yet seemed to drink No beauty from spring sun or summer showers. Scornful, she tossed her head, but soothingly Dame Nature to the plant dishonored said: "Time conquereth The proud. Yon rose her petaled pomps shall see Torn rudely by the Frost-King's icy breath, When life luxuriant shall throb in thee, And blossom in the very midst of death!"
# Poems (1898)/Song : "If Love Were Not"

SONG
If love were not, the wilding rose Would in its leafy heart inclose No chalice of perfume;
By mossy bank, in glen, or grot, No bird would build, if love were not, No flower complacent bloom.
The sunset clouds would lose their dyes, The light would fade from beauty's eyes, The stars their fires consume,
And something missed from hall and cot Would leave the world, if love were not, A wilderness of gloom!
# Poems (1898)/Stanza : "The Voices of All Waters"

STANZA
The voices of all waters that make moan— Loudly upbraiding the impassive sky, Have not the meaning of one human groan, Have not the pathos of one human sigh; And neither that blithe strain whereby The brook doth wintry doubts destroy, Nor that pure rhapsody the woodland sings, When Summer to its heart contentment brings,— Breathes unto Heaven such praise as human joy!
# Poems (1898)/Tennyson

TENNYSON
How beautiful to live as thou didst live! How beautiful to die as thou didst die,— In moonlight of the night, without a sigh, At rest in all the best that love could give!
How excellent to bear into old age The poet's ardor and the heart of youth, To keep to the last sleep the vow of truth, And leave to lands that grieve a glowing page!
How glorious to feel the spirit's power Unbroken by the near approach of death, To breathe blest prophecies with failing breath, Soul-bound to beauty in that latest hour!
How sweet to greet, in final kinship owned, The master-spirit to thy dreams so dear, At last from his immortal lips to hear The dirge for Imogen, and thee, intoned!
How beautiful to live as thou didst live! How beautiful to die as thou didst die,— In moonlight of the night, without a sigh, At rest in all the best that love could give!
# Poems (1898)/The Ideal

THE IDEAL
"Not the treasures is it that have awakened in me so unspeakable a desire, but the Blue Flower is what I long to behold."—Novalis.
Something I may not win attracts me ever,— Something elusive, yet supremely fair, Thrills me with gladness, but contents me never, Fills me with sadness, yet forbids despair.
It blossoms just beyond the paths I follow, It shines beyond the farthest stars I see, It echoes faint from ocean caverns hollow, And from the land of dreams it beckons me.
It calls, and all my best, with joyful feeling, Essays to reach it as I make reply; I feel its sweetness o'er my spirit stealing, Yet know ere I attain it I must die!
# Poems (1898)/The Land of Promise

THE LAND OF PROMISE
Although the faiths to which we fearful clung Fall from us, or no more have might to save; Although the past, recalling gifts it gave, O'er lost delights a doleful knell have rung; Although the present, forth from ashes sprung, Postpone from day to day what most we crave, And, promising, beguile us to the grave,— Yet, toward the Future, we are always young! It smiles upon us in last lingering hours, If with less radiance, with a light as fair, As tender, pure, as in our childish years: It is the fairy realm of fadeless flowers, Of songs and ever-springing fountains, where No heart-aches come, no vain regrets, no tears!
# Poems (1898)/Song : "The New-Born Leaves Unfolding Fast"

SONG
The new-born leaves unfolding fast Make nests of green on every bough; The pilgrim birds, their wanderings past, With joy return,—but thou, my love, Oh, where, my love, art thou?
Soft tumults fill the balmy air, Faint breathings of the flowers to be; Life glows and gladdens everywhere,— But I am lone for thee, my love, Oh, lone, my love, for thee!
Give me the voice of moaning pines, The frozen wold, the wind-worn space; Give me the winter Earth resigns,— But let me see thy face, my love, Oh, let me see thy face!
# Poems (1898)/The Heart of Love

THE HEART OF LOVE
I know a place warm-sheltered from the world— A place secure, in mild conditions blest, Where fainting Toil, the homespun banner furled, May pause awhile and rest: I know a place where fires burn late, And mercy, waiting at the gate, Still welcomes the oppress'd!
I know a shrine more rich than Plutus' fane, An altar fragrant with celestial dew, Where wavering souls their virgin faiths regain And energies renew. I know a garden fair and free, Where life yet wears, unfadingly, Lost Eden's roseate hue!

# Pearson Hill letter to French Post

A Mons[ieu]r [?] Piron
Secretary's office London
Sir
There is a small matter semi-officiel semi private, in which I am sure you will permit me to ask for your kind assistance.
My father, Sir Rowland Hill who, as you may suppose, watches with much interest the adoption throughout the world, of his plans of Postal Reform, has a collection of the postage stamps of the Nations, which collection I am desirous of rendering as complete as possible and with this view I take the liberty of asking whether - supposing it be now possible to obtain - you could favor him with specimens (unobliterated) of the postage stamps used in France during the time of the Republic.
Of these stamps I believe there are eight varieties - six bearing the Head of France, and two bearing the head of the Emperor, then President, and we shall be greatly indebted to your goodness if you can, without much trouble, procure them for us.
In addition to the stamps of the Republic that I have mentioned, my father's collection does not contain the Franc, or the 25. Cent[ime]s stamp of the Empire - which stamps I now find are no longer issued. We shall be much obliged if you can favour us with specimen of each.
I am, Sir your obed[ien]t Servant Pearson Hill. (Private Secretary to Sir R. Hill)
# Poems of Passion/What Shall We Do?

Here now forevermore our lives must part.  My path leads there, and yours another way. What shall we do with this fond love, dear heart?  It grows a heavier burden day by day.
Hide it? In all earth's caverns, void and vast,  There is not room enough to hide it, dear; Not even the mighty storehouse of the past  Could cover it from our own eyes, I fear.
Drown it? Why, were the contents of each ocean  Merged into one great sea, too shallow then Would be its waters to sink this emotion  So deep it could not rise to life again.
Burn it? In all the furnace flames below,  It would not in a thousand years expire. Nay! it would thrive, exult, expand, and grow,  For from its very birth it fed on fire.
Starve it? Yes, yes, that is the only way.  Give it no food, of glance, or word, or sigh; No memories, even, of any bygone day;  No crumbs of vain regrets—so let it die.
# Poems of Passion/Wherefore

Wherefore in dreams are sorrows borne anew,  A healed wound opened, or the past revived? Last night in my deep sleep I dreamed of you;  Again the old love woke in me, and thrived On looks of fire, and kisses, and sweet words  Like silver waters purling in a stream, Or like the amorous melodies of birds:  A dream—a dream!
Again upon the glory of the scene  There settled that dread shadow of the cross That, when hearts love too well, falls in between;  That warns them of impending woe and loss. Again I saw you drifting from my life,  As barques are rudely parted in a stream; Again my heart was torn with awful strife:  A dream—a dream!
Again the deep night settled on me there,  Alone I groped, and heard strange waters roll, Lost in that blackness of supreme despair  That comes but once to any living soul. Alone, afraid, I called your name aloud—  Mine eyes, unveiled, beheld white stars agleam, And lo! awake, I cried, "Thank God, thank God!  A dream—a dream!"
# Poems of Patriotism/A Patriotic Creed

A Patriotic Creed
To serve my country day by day At any humble post I may; To honor and respect her flag, To live the traits of which I brag; To be American in deed As well as in my printed creed.
To stand for truth and honest toil, To till my little patch of soil And keep in mind the debt I owe To them who died that I might know My country, prosperous and free, And passed this heritage to me.
I must always in trouble’s hour Be guided by the men in power; For God and country I must live, My best for God and country give; No act of mine that men may scan Must shame the name American.
To do my best and play my part, American in mind and heart;
To serve the flag and bravely stand To guard the glory of my land; To be American in deed, God grant me strength to keep this creed.
# Poems of Passion/You Will Forget Me

You will forget me. The years are so tender, They bind up the wounds which we think are so deep; This dream of our youth will fade out as the splendor Fades from the skies when the sun sinks to sleep; The cloud of forgetfulness, over and over Will banish the last rosy colors away, And the fingers of time will weave garlands to cover The scar which you think is a life-mark to-day.
You will forget me. The one boon you covet Now above all things will soon seem no prize; And the heart, which you hold not in keeping to prove it True or untrue, will lose worth in your eyes. The one drop to-day, that you deem only wanting To fill your life-cup to the brim, soon will seem But a valueless mite; and the ghost that is haunting The aisles of your heart will pass out with the dream.
You will forget me; will thank me for saying The words which you think are so pointed with pain. Time loves a new lay; and the dirge he is playing Will change for you soon to a livelier strain. I shall pass from your life—I shall pass out forever, And these hours we have spent will be sunk in the past. Youth buries its dead; grief kills seldom or never, And forgetfulness covers all sorrows at last.

# Poems of Patriotism/A Creed

A Creed
To keep in mind from day to day That I’m a soldier in the fray; That I must serve, from sun to sun, As well as he who bears a gun The flag that flies above us all, And answer well my country’s call.
I must not for one hour forget Unto the Stars and Stripes my debt. ’Twas spotless on my day of birth, And when at last I quit this earth Old Glory still must spotless be For all who follow after me.
At some post where my work will fit I must with courage do my bit; Some portion of myself I’d give That freedom and the flag may live. And in some way I want to feel That I am doing service real.
I must in all I say and do Respect the red, the white, and blue;
Nor dim with petty deeds of shame The splendor of Old Glory’s fame; I must not let my standards drag, For my disgrace would stain the flag.
