# The Harp-Weaver/The Spring and the Fall

THE SPRING AND THE FALL
In the spring of the year, in the spring of the year, I walked the road beside my dear. The trees were black where the bark was wet. I see them yet, in the spring of the year. He broke me a bough of the blossoming peach That was out of the way and hard to reach.
In the fall of the year, in the fall of the year, I walked the road beside my. dear. The rooks went up with a raucous trill. I hear them still, in the fall of the year. He laughed at all I dared to praise, And broke my heart, in little ways.
Year be springing or year be falling, The bark will drip and the birds be calling. There’s much that’s fine to see and hear In the spring of a year, in the fall of a year. ’Tis not love’s going hurts my days, But that it went in little ways.
# The Harp-Weaver/The Wood Road

THE WOOD ROAD
If I were to walk this way
Hand in hand with Grief, I should mark that maple-spray Coming into leaf. I should note how the old burrs Rot upon the ground. Yes, though Grief should know me hers While the world goes round, It could not in truth be said This was lost on me: A rock-maple showing red, Burrs beneath a tree.
# The Harp-Weaver/The Curse

THE CURSE
Oh, lay my ashes on the wind That blows across the sea. And I shall meet a fisherman Out of Capri,
And he will say, seeing me, “What a strange thing! Like a fish’s scale or a Butterfly’s wing.”
Oh, lay my ashes on the wind That blows away the fog. And I shall meet a farmer boy Leaping through the bog,
And he will say, seeing me, “What a strange thing! Like a peat-ash or a Butterfly’s wing.”
And I shall blow to your house
And, sucked against the pane, See you take your sewing up And lay it down again.
And you will say, seeing me, “What a strange thing! Like a plum petal or a Butterfly’s wing.”
And none at all will know me That knew me well before. But I will settle at the root That climbs about your door,
And fishermen and farmers May see me and forget, But I’ll be a bitter berry In your brewing yet.
# The Harp-Weaver/The Dragonfly

THE DRAGONFLY
I wound myself in a white cocoon of singing, All day long in the brook’s uneven bed, Measuring out my soul in a mucous thread; Dimly now to the brook’s green bottom clinging, Men behold me, a worm spun-out and dead, Walled in an iron house of silky singing.
Nevertheless at length, O reedy shallows, Not as a plodding nose to the slimy stem, But as a brazen wing with a spangled hem, Over the jewel-weed and the pink marshmallows, Free of these and making a song of them, I shall arise, and a song of the reedy shallows!
# The Harp-Weaver/The Goose-girl

THE GOOSE-GIRL
Spring rides no horses down the hill, But comes on foot, a goose-girl still. And all the loveliest things there be Come simply, so, it seems to me. If ever I said, in grief or pride, I tired of honest things, I lied; And should be cursed forevermore With Love in laces, like a whore, And neighbors cold, and friends unsteady, And Spring on horseback, like a lady!
# The Harp-Weaver/The Pond

THE POND
In this pond of placid water,
Half a hundred years ago, So they say, a farmer’s daughter, Jilted by her farmer beau,
Waded out among the rushes, Scattering the blue dragon-flies; That dried stick the ripple washes Marks the spot, I should surmise.
Think, so near the public highway, Well frequented even then! Can you not conceive the sly way,— Hearing wheels or seeing men
Passing on the road above,— With a gesture feigned and silly, Ere she drowned herself for love, She would reach to pluck a lily?
# The Harp-Weaver/The Return from Town

THE RETURN FROM TOWN
As I sat down by Saddle Stream
To bathe my dusty feet there, A boy was standing on the bridge Any girl would meet there.
As I went over Woody Knob And dipped into the hollow, A youth was coming up the hill Any maid would follow.
Then in I turned at my own gate,— And nothing to be sad for— To such a man as any wife Would pass a pretty lad for.

# The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon

written between December 1851 and March 1852, and originally published in 1852 in Die Revolution, a German-language monthly magazine. The pamphlet shows Marx in his form as a social and political historian, treating actual historical events—those leading up to Louis Bonaparte's coup d'état of 2 December 1851—from the viewpoint of his materialist conception of history. The "Eighteenth Brumaire" refers to November 9, 1799 in the French Revolutionary Calendar—the day Louis Bonaparte's uncle Napoleon Bonaparte had made himself dictator by a coup d'état. The work is the source of one of Marx's most quoted statements, that history repeats itself, "the first as tragedy, then as farce".

LEITER, li'ter, Joseph, American financier: b. Chicago, 4 Dec. 1868. He was graduated from Harvard in 1891, and was agent for his father, Levi Zeigler Leiter (q.v.), in 1892-98. In the autumn of 1897 he began buying wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade in an attempt to corner the market. Wheat prices soared to double their normal height and at the opening of the year 1898 Leiter held the largest private ownership of wheat in the history of grain trade. Concerted action on the part of his competitors broke the corner and Leiter is reputed to have suffered losses to the amount of $10,000,000. He is president of the Zeigler Coal Company, Chicago, and of the Chicago, Zeigler and Gulf Railway Company; and a director of the American Security and Trust Company.

LEITER, Levi Zeigler, American financier: b. Leitersburg, Md., 1834; d. 1904. He worked his way up in the retail drygoods from a clerkship in a country store to a partnership in the Chicago firm Coolidge, Wadsworth and Company. In 1865, together with Marshall Field, he sold his interest in that concern and they purchased a controlling interest in the drygoods establishment of Potter Palmer, the firm name then becoming Field, Palmer and Leiter. Upon Palmer's withdrawal it became Field, Leiter and Company until 1 Jan. 1881, when Leiter retired from the company and devoted himself to the management of his large real estate holdings and corporation interests.

Edition of 1920. See also Leith on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
LEITH, Scotland, a seaport and parliamentary burgh in the county of Midlothian, encircled on three sides by Edinburgh, on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, on the Water of Leith. It is connected with Edinburgh by Leith Walk — originally a line of earthworks built during the Cromwellian occupation, and by branch lines of the railways centering in Edinburgh. It is the principal seaport in the east of Scotland. Among the principal public buildings are the stately old parish church of Saint Mary's, custom-house, Trinity House, corn exchange, the new and well-equipped Leith Academy, including the Leith Technical College, and there are fine parks and public golf links. The chief manufactures are ropes, sail cloth, oil cake, paints, colors, artificial manures, and there are shipbuilding yards, iron foundries, engine works, flour mills, oil mills and refineries, steam saw mills, large maltings, an ice factory, etc. The foreign trade is chiefly with the Baltic and the principal French and German ports, and there is a trade in grain, flour, etc., with the United States and Canada. There are extensive wet docks and a fine roadstead, and several public graving docks, capable of receiving the largest vessels. It is the first of the fishery districts of Scotland. The quaint fishing village of Newhaven, on the west, is part of the burgh. The municipality is one of the most progressive in the kingdom; the water and gas undertakings are conjoined with Edinburgh, and it owns and operates its own electric plant and cable car systems.
Leith is a very ancient town its earliest charter dating from 1128.
It was besieged by the Lords of the Congregation during the Reformation period, and of the landing of Mary Queen of Scots on 1 Sept. 1561. Little of the old town remains, the narrow streets and alleys having been swept away by a great municipal improvement scheme. Leith, Portobello and Musselburgh, known as the Leith Burghs, return one member to the House of Commons. Pop. over 80,000. Consult Stevenson, ‘Annals of Edinburgh and Leith’ (1839); Irons, J. C, ‘Leith and Its Antiquities’ (1898).

LELAND, or LEYLAND, John, English antiquary: b. London, about 1506; d. there, 18 April 1552. He was educated at Cambridge, Oxford and Paris. Returning home he took holy orders and Henry VIII made him his chaplain and librarian. In 1530 he became rector of Pepeling, near Calais; in 1542 he received the rectory of Haseley, Oxfordshire, and he was a prebend of Salisbury Cathedral. In 1533 he received the title of royal antiquary and was empowered by a commission under the great seal to search for objects of antiquity in the archives and libraries of all cathedrals, abbeys, priories, etc.; in consequence of which he spent six years in traveling and collecting materials for the illustration of the history and archæology of England and Wales, but died without having completed his undertaking. The great bulk of his collections was placed in the Bodleian Library. The first part to be published was the ‘Commentarii de Scriptoribus Britannicis,’ issued in 1709 by Anthony Hall. In 1710 Hearne published the ‘Itinerary’ in nine volumes and five years later the ‘Collectanea’ was issued by him in six volumes. Leland wrote Latin poetry with considerable elegance, and a collection of his miscellaneous Latin verse and epigrams was published in 1589. Some of his autographic manuscripts are preserved in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, others in the British Museum. Consult Burton, ‘Life of John Leland’ (London 1896).

# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon the Death of His Sparrow. An Elegy

256. UPON THE DEATH OF HIS SPARROW. AN ELEGY.
Why do not all fresh maids appear To work love's sampler only here, Where spring-time smiles throughout the year? Are not here rosebuds, pinks, all flowers Nature begets by th' sun and showers, Met in one hearse-cloth to o'erspread The body of the under-dead?
Phil, the late dead, the late dead dear, O! may no eye distil a tear For you once lost, who weep not here! Had Lesbia, too-too kind, but known This sparrow, she had scorn'd her own: And for this dead which under lies Wept out her heart, as well as eyes. But, endless peace, sit here and keep My Phil the time he has to sleep; And thousand virgins come and weep To make these flowery carpets show Fresh as their blood, and ever grow, Till passengers shall spend their doom: Not Virgil's gnat had such a tomb.
Phil, otherwise Philip or Phip, was a pet name for a sparrow. Virgil's gnat, the Culex attributed to Virgil.

What wisdom, learning, wit or worth Youth or sweet nature could bring forth Rests here with him who was the fame, The volume of himself and name. If, reader, then, thou wilt draw near And do an honour to thy tear, Weep then for him for whom laments Not one, but many monuments.

8. WHEN HE WOULD HAVE HIS VERSES READ.
In sober mornings, do not thou rehearse The holy incantation of a verse; But when that men have both well drunk and fed, Let my enchantments then be sung or read.
When laurel spirts i'th' fire, and when the hearth Smiles to itself, and gilds the roof with mirth; When up the thyrse is rais'd, and when the sound Of sacred orgies flies, a round, a round. When the rose reigns, and locks with ointments shine, Let rigid Cato read these lines of mine.

# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon the Bishop of Lincoln's Imprisonment

146. UPON THE BISHOP OF LINCOLN'S IMPRISONMENT.
Never was day so over-sick with showers But that it had some intermitting hours; Never was night so tedious but it knew The last watch out, and saw the dawning too; Never was dungeon so obscurely deep Wherein or light or day did never peep; Never did moon so ebb, or seas so wane, But they left hope-seed to fill up again. So you, my lord, though you have now your stay, Your night, your prison, and your ebb, you may Spring up afresh, when all these mists are spent, And star-like, once more gild our firmament. Let but that mighty Cæsar speak, and then All bolts, all bars, all gates shall cleave; as when That earthquake shook the house, and gave the stout Apostles way, unshackled, to go out. This, as I wish for, so I hope to see; Though you, my lord, have been unkind to me, To wound my heart, and never to apply, When you had power, the meanest remedy. Well, though my grief by you was gall'd the more, Yet I bring balm and oil to heal your sore.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon the Loss of His Mistresses

39. UPON THE LOSS OF HIS MISTRESSES.
I have lost, and lately, these Many dainty mistresses: Stately Julia, prime of all: Sappho next, a principal: Smooth Anthea for a skin White, and heaven-like crystalline: Sweet Electra, and the choice Myrrha for the lute and voice: Next Corinna, for her wit, And the graceful use of it: With Perilla: all are gone; Only Herrick's left alone For to number sorrow by Their departures hence, and die.

174. UPON THE SAME.

# The Green Bay Tree (Bromfield, Frederick A. Stokes Company, printing 11)/Chapter 77

THERE was no answer, but before he called again a tall figure in a black cloak ran from the doorway and hurried toward him.
"Césaire! . . . Césaire!" were the only words she spoke. She clung against him, the metal of his bright cuirass pressing her lovely, soft body. For a time Césaire kissed her passionately and at length, without a word, she led him away from the house to the pleached walk that led from the château garden down to the river. They walked sadly with arms encircling each other's waists.
"I have but a moment," said the Baron. "At most, ten minutes. I have no right even to that."
She told him that Madame Gigon was dying. She explained that old Pierre had not appeared to help them to escape and that he would have been of no use since it was impossible to move her companion. And, when she had wasted three precious minutes in these explanations, she said, "You need not worry for me . . . I shall be quite safe. . . . If only I could be as certain of you."
At this he laughed softly, reassuring her and pulling his fierce mustachios in warlike fashion.
"You need not fear for me," he said. "I have had such great luck . . . always." And he looked at her closely with shining eyes.
Then they sat for a time in silence, clinging closely to each other. Presently he took off his helmet and rested it in her lap allowing her to twist her fingers in and out among the long black hair of the plume.
"And Jean," she said, after atime. "He is with you?"
"He is with me. He passed with the others beneath your window. He sent you his love. He would have come too, but he knew it was unsoldierly to break the ranks. . . . He is a good ​soldier," he added softly. "A valiant fellow. With me it is different. I am an old fellow. I have learned that there are times when one must break the ranks. There are times when even breaking ranks does not matter."
In the darkness Lily's eyes closed as if she felt a sharp, sudden pain. "Ellen advised me," she said, "never to be too fond of my child."
Her lover kissed her and answered, "Come, you must not think of it like that. You must understand he is a boy . . . an ardent boy."
And then he fell again to talking of her danger. He urged her not to remain.
"I have the curé here . . . M. Dupont," she said.
"Leave him with Madame Gigon."
"No. That I will not do. . . . Besides the Germans may never arrive here after all."
"No," he said, gravely. "Perhaps not. We shall try to prevent them."
Then they walked back again to the gateway. The house was silent now and the voice of M. Dupont no longer to be heard. The Baron replaced his helmet, untied his horse and swung himself on the back of the animal. Leaning down, he kissed her again and then turned through the gateway into the road. She listened to the sound of the black horse's hoofs as he galloped past the moving columns, and at last when the echo was no longer audible she reentered the house and flung herself down upon the bed. Throughout the brief visit, she had restrained herself. Now she wept quietly, almost in peace, as if she were enveloped already by a great resignation.

ABBESS, the female superior of some convents of nuns, corresponding to the abbot over monks. She was elected from the monastery by secret votes, inducted by a bishop's consecration, and held office three years of even for life unless deprived for misconduct. The Council of Trent fixed the required age at 40, with eight years of professed membership in the monastery. She could discipline and even expel the nuns, subject to the bishop; but, being a female, could exercise only certain functions, such as giving religious counsel and administering the rule, but no spiritual jurisdiction, as ordaining, conferring the veil, or excommunicating.
