The Second Oldest Story
GO I must along my waysragged, Though my heart be ragged, Dripping bitter through the days, Festering, and jagged. Smile I must at every twinge, Kiss, to time its throbbing; He that tears a heart to fringe Hates the noise of sobbing. ·······Weep, my love, till Heaven hears; Curse and moan and languish. While I wash your wound with tears, Ease aloud your anguish. Bellow of the pit in Hell Where you’re made to linger. There and there and well and well— Did he prick his finger!

Surprise
MY heart went fluttering with fearme here Lest you should go, and leave me here To beat my breast and rock my head And stretch me sleepless on my bed. Ah, clear they see and true they say That one shall weep, and one shall stray For such is Love’s unvarying law. . . . I never thought, I never saw That I should be the first to go; How pleasant that it happened so!

The Counsellor
I MET a man, the other day— A kindly man, and serious— Who viewed me in a thoughtful way, And spoke me so, and spoke me thus:
“Oh, dallying’s a sad mistake; ’Tis craven to survey the morrow! Go give your heart, and if it break— A wise companion is Sorrow.
“Oh, live, my child, nor keep your soul To crowd your coffin when you’re dead.” . . . I asked his work; he dealt in coal, And shipped it up the Tyne, he said.

The Last Question
NEW love, new love, where are you to lead me? All along a narrow way that marks a crooked line. How are you to slake me, and how are you to feed me? With bitter yellow berries, and a sharp new wine.
New love, new love, shall I be forsaken? One shall go a-wandering, and one of us must sigh. Sweet it is to slumber, but how shall we awaken— Whose will be the broken heart, when dawn comes by?

The Red Dress
I ALWAYS saw, I always said If I were grown and free, I’d have a gown of reddest red As fine as you could see,
To wear out walking, sleek and slow, Upon a Summer day, And there’d be one to see me so, And flip the world away.
And he would be a gallant one, With stars behind his eyes, And hair like metal in the sun, And lips too warm for lies.
I always saw us, gay and good, High honored in the town. Now I am grown to womanhood. . . . I have the silly gown.

The Searched Soul
WHEN I consider, pro and con,upon— What things my love is built upon— A curly mouth; a sinewed wrist; A questioning brow; a pretty twist Of words as old and tried as sin; A pointed ear; a cloven chin; Long, tapered limbs; and slanted eyes Not cold nor kind nor darkly wise— When so I ponder, here apart, What shallow boons suffice my heart, What dust-bound trivia capture me, I marvel at my normalcy.

The Gentlest Lady
THEY say He was a serious child, And quiet in his ways; They say the gentlest lady smiled To hear the neighbors’ praise.
The coffers of her heart would close Upon their smallest word. Yet did they say, “How tall He grows!” They thought she had not heard.
They say upon His birthday eve She’d rock Him to His rest As if she could not have Him leave The shelter of her breast.
The poor must go in bitter thrift, The poor must give in pain, But ever did she set a gift To greet His day again.
They say she’d kiss the boy awake, And hail Him gay and clear, But oh, her heart was like to break To count another year.

The Maid-Servant at the Inn
“IT’S queer,” she said, “I see the light As plain as I beheld it then, All silver-like and calm and bright— We’ve not had stars like that again!
“And she was such a gentle thing To birth a baby in the cold. The barn was dark and frightening— This new one’s better than the old.
“I mind my eyes were full of tears, For I was young, and quick distressed, But she was less than me in years That held a son against her breast.
“I never saw a sweeter child— The little one, the darling one!— I mind I told her, when he smiled You’d know he was his mother’s son.
“It’s queer that I should see them so— The time they came to Bethlehem Was more than thirty years ago; I’ve prayed that all is well with them.”
# Sweden's Laureate: Selected Poems of Verner von Heidenstam/Muchail's Evening Prayer

At sunset all the married Mussulmans of Kasan fell on their knees upon the flat roofs of the houses and praised the One and cried: "I thank God that I am not made a woman!"
Only the old Muchail, who was more than eighty years old and had a whole life's experience, stood erect with his arms crossed and knitted his brows and cried or chanted loudly:

Featured in Volume 18, Number 110 of The Atlantic Monthly. (December 1866).
MY GARDEN.
If I could put my woods in song, And tell what's there enjoyed, All men would to my gardens throng, And leave the cities void.
In my plot no tulips blow, Snow-loving pines and oaks instead, And rank the savage maples grow From spring's faint flush to autumn red.
My garden is a forest-ledge, Which older forests bound; The banks slope down to the blue lake-edge, Then plunge in depths profound.
Here once the Deluge ploughed, Laid the terraces, one by one; Ebbing later whence it flowed, They bleach and dry in the sun.
The sowers made haste to depart, The wind and the birds which sowed it; Not for fame, nor by rules of art, Planted these and tempests flowed it.
Waters that wash my garden-side Play not in Nature's lawful web, They heed not moon or solar tide,— Five years elapse from flood to ebb.
Hither hasted, in old time, Jove, And every god,—none did refuse; And be sure at last came Love, And after Love, the Muse. ​Keen ears can catch a syllable, As if one spake to another In the hemlocks tall, untamable, And what the whispering grasses smother.
Æolian harps in the pine Ring with the song of the Fates; Infant Bacchus in the vine,— Far distant yet his chorus waits.
Canst thou copy in verse one chime Of the wood-bell's peal and cry? Write in a book the morning's prime, Or match with words that tender sky?
Wonderful verse of the gods, Of one import, of varied tone; They chant the bliss of their abodes To man imprisoned in his own.
Ever the words of the gods resound, But the porches of man's ear Seldom in this low life's round Are unsealed that he may hear.
Wandering voices in the air, And murmurs in the wold, Speak what I cannot declare, Yet cannot all withhold.
When the shadow fell on the lake, The whirlwind in ripples wrote Air-bells of fortune that shine and break, And omens above thought.
But the meanings cleave to the lake, Cannot be carried in book or urn; Go thy ways now, come later back, On waves and hedges still they burn
These the fates of men forecast, Of better men than live to-day; If who can read them comes at last, He will spell in the sculpture, "Stay."

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Dowler, Bennet

Edition of 1879. See also Bennet Dowler on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​DOWLER, Bennet, an American physician and physiologist, born in Ohio co., Va., April 16, 1797. He was educated at the university of Maryland, where in 1827 he received the degree of doctor of medicine. In 1836 he settled in New Orleans, and was for several years the editor of the “New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal.” From an early period in his career experiments upon the human body, immediately or very soon after death, occupied a large share of his attention, and the results of his investigations, comprising some important discoveries with regard to contractility, calorification, capillary circulation, &c., were published in 1843-'4. Since that time these and other original experiments have been extended, generalized, and analyzed by him. His researches on animal heat, in health, in disease, and after death, which have from time to time been published in medical journals, have led to important discoveries, particularly with reference to post mortem calorification, which his experiments have shown will, after death from fever, cholera, or sunstroke, &c., rise in some cases much higher than its antecedent maximum during the progress of the disease. In 1845 Dr. Dowler commenced a series of experiments in comparative physiology on the great saurian or alligator of Louisiana, which he regarded as better for the purpose than any of the cold-blooded animals usually selected for vivisection. From these experiments he was led to the conclusions that after decapitation the head, and more especially the trunk, afford evidences of possessing the faculties of sensation and volition for hours after a complete division of the animal; that the headless trunk, deprived of all the senses but that of touch, still retains the powers of perception and volition, and may act with intelligence in removing or avoiding an irritant; and that the functions and structures of the nervous system constitute a unity altogether inconsistent with the anatomical assumption of four distinct and separate sets of nerves, and a corresponding fourfold set of functions.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Down

​DOWN, a N. E. county of Ireland, province of Ulster, bordering on the Irish sea and the counties Antrim and Armagh; area, 956 sq. m.; pop. in 1871, 277,775. Near the middle of the county is a group of hills, and in its S. W. part are the Mourne mountains, some of whose summits are among the highest peaks in N. Ireland; but with these exceptions the surface is generally level. There are several rivers, but only the Lurgan, which flows along the northern boundary, and the Bann, are important. All the streams and the lakes, which are numerous, abound in fish. Lough Strangford in the E. part is a large inlet of the sea, with which it communicates by a deep channel. The county contains many mineral springs, and is one of the best cultivated counties of Ireland, producing grain, peas, beans, potatoes, turnips, &c. Cattle, chiefly for dairy purposes, and hogs are reared in great numbers. There are extensive quarries of limestone, sandstone, and slate; and granite, coal, and chalk also occur. The most important manufacture is that of linen, though there are also cotton and woollen mills. The climate is healthy and somewhat cold, and the people generally are in better condition than those of most Irish counties. Fishing occupies many of the inhabitants. Some interesting and very ancient remains are found, and there are ruins of abbeys and castles of the middle ages. The chief towns are Downpatrick, the capital, and Newry.

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Dixwell, John

Edition of 1879. See also John Dixwell on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
DIXWELL, John, one of the regicide judges of Charles I., born in 1608, died at New Haven, Conn., March 18, 1689. After the reaction in England which placed Charles II. upon the throne, and caused himself and his associates to be condemned to death, he escaped to America, took the name of John Davids, and lived undiscovered in New Haven, where he was married and left children. In 1664 he visited two of his fellow regicides, Whalley and Goffe, who had found a refuge at Hadley, Mass. His favorite study in exile was the “History of the World,” which Raleigh had written in prison, and he cherished a constant faith that the spirit of liberty in England would produce a new revolution.
