# The Harp-Weaver/The wagon stopped before the house

V
A wagon stopped before the house; she heard The heavy oilskins of the grocer’s man Slapping against his legs. Of a sudden whirred Her heart like a frightened partridge, and she ran And slid the bolt, leaving his entrance free; Then in the cellar way till he was gone Hid, breathless, praying that he might not see The chair sway she had laid her hand upon In passing. Sour and damp from that dark vault Arose to her the well-remembered chill; She saw the narrow wooden stairway still Plunging into the earth, and the thin salt Crusting the crocks; until she knew him far, So stood, with listening eyes upon the empty doughnut jar.
# The Harp-Weaver/Then cautiously she pushed

VI
Then cautiously she pushed the cellar door And stepped into the kitchen—saw the track Of muddy rubber boots across the floor, The many paper parcels in a stack Upon the dresser; with accustomed care Removed the twine and put the wrappings by, Folded, and the bags flat, that with an air Of ease had been whipped open skillfully, To the gape of children. Treacherously dear And simple was the dull, familiar task. And so it was she came at length to ask: How came the soda there? The sugar here? Then the dream broke. Silent, she brought the mop,
And forced the trade-slip on the nail that held his razor strop.
# The Harp-Weaver/There was upon the sill

XV
There was upon the sill a pencil mark, Vital with shadow when the sun stood still At noon, but now, because the day was dark, It was a pencil mark upon the sill. And the mute clock, maintaining ever the same Dead moment, blank and vacant of itself, Was a pink shepherdess, a picture frame, A shell marked Souvenir, there on the shelf. Whence it occurred to her that he might be, The mainspring being broken in his mind, A clock himself, if one were so inclined, That stood at twenty minutes after three— The reason being for this, it might be said, That things in death were neither clocks nor people, but only dead.
# The Harp-Weaver/The last white sawdust

II
The last white sawdust on the floor was grown Gray as the first, so long had he been ill ; The axe was nodding in the block; fresh-blown And foreign came the rain across the sill, But on the roof so steadily it drummed She could not think a time it might not be— In hazy summer, when the hot air hummed With mowing, and locusts rising raspingly, When that small bird with iridescent wings And long incredible sudden silver tongue Had just flashed (and yet may be not!) among The dwarf nasturtiums—when no sagging springs Of shower were in the whole bright sky, somehow Upon this roof the rain would drum as it was drumming now.
# The Harp-Weaver/What lips my lips have kissed

XIX
What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain Under my head till morning; but the rain Is full of ghosts to-night, that tap and sigh Upon the glass and listen for reply, And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain For unremembered lads that not again Will turn to me at midnight with a cry. Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree, Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one, Yet knows its boughs more silent than before: I cannot say what loves have come and gone, I only know that summer sang in me A little while, that in me sings no more.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Newberry Library

Edition of 1920. See also Newberry Library on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
NEWBERRY LIBRARY, Chicago, Ill., is a free library of reference established in 1887 and maintained by a moiety of the estate of Walter Loomis Newberry (1804-68), a pioneer merchant of Chicago. Since 1894 it has occupied a fine structure of Spanish-Romanesque
architecture built of Connecticut granite, situated on Walton place, between Dearborn avenue and North Clark street. The collection consists of over 375,000 books, pamphlets, manuscripts, etc., representative of the principal fields of knowledge and branches of learning which fall within its province; bibliography and the history of printing, religion and theology, philosophy, psychology and ethics, history, political science, geography, biography, language, literature and (in part) the fine arts. The original plans of the trustees contemplated the gathering of a general collection of reference and source books on all subjects. Later, however, a co-operative arrangement was entered into with the Chicago public and other libraries under which the field of knowledge was roughly divided among them, and a policy of non-duplication of books was adopted. In each of its divisions the library possesses many treasures, making it one of the most valuable book collections in the United States. Under the head of education, notably, teachers will find an excellent working collection of authoritative works on the past history of their profession and on its present condition, tendencies, methods, theory and practice. The majority of the books are, naturally, mainly intended for the use of professional scholars, but all classes of readers from the most learned investigator to the boy or girl seeking information for school use are welcomed.

NICOLAY, nĕk'ō-lā, John George, American author: b. Essingen, Bavaria, 26 Feb. 1832; d. Washington, D. C., 26 Sept. 1901. He came with his family to the United States in 1838 and settled in Illinois, where he was educated in the public schools. He entered the office of the Free Press in Pittsfield, Ill., when 16 and later became its proprietor and publisher, soon making himself a political power in the State. In 1856 he entered the office of the secretary of state at Springfield, Ill., where he became a devoted adherent of Lincoln. When the latter was elected to the Presidency Nicolay was appointed his private secretary and as the duties of the office increased John Hay (q.v.) was selected as assistant secretary. Together they formed the plan of writing a biography of President Lincoln and gained his approval of their project. In 1865 Nicolay was appointed by the President to be United States consul at Paris, where he remained until 1869 and in 1872-87 he was marshal of the Supreme Court. In 1874 he began in collaboration with John Hay ‘Abraham Lincoln, a History,’ the authoritative biography, published serially (1886-90) and in book form and supplemented by Lincoln's ‘Complete Works,’ in 12 volumes (1894). He also wrote ‘The Outbreak of the Civil War’ (1881). His daughter, Helen Nicolay, who has inherited her father's absorption in the life and achievement of the great President, is the author of ‘Personal Traits of Abraham Lincoln’ (1912).

NEWBERRY, nū'bĕr-ĭ, John Strong, American geologist: b. Windsor, Conn., 22 Dec. 1822; d. New Haven, 7 Dec. 1892. His early life was passed chiefly in the Western Reserve, Ohio, and he was graduated at the Western Reserve College in 1846 and at the Cleveland Medical School in 1848. From 1851 to 1855 he practised medicine in Cleveland. He was assistant surgeon and geologist to the government expedition that explored the country between San Francisco and the Columbia River; also accompanied Lieutenant Ives in his exploration of the Colorado River, and the expedition under Captain Macomb in its exploration from the Sania Fé to the junction of the Grand and Green rivers. His reports upon the scientific results of these expeditions brought him great credit in the scientific world. At the beginning of the Civil War he became attached to the Sanitary Commission, and later secretary of its Western department. He was afterward
connected with the Smithsonian Institution, and with the Columbian (now George Washington) University, Washington, and in 1866 was appointed professor of geology and palæontology at the Columbia College School of Mines, which post he retained till his death. Besides many special reports and parts of general reports, his writings include: ‘The Rock Oils of Ohio’ (1859); ‘Catalogue of the Plants of Ohio’ (1860); ‘Iron Resources of the United States’ (1874); ‘The Structure and Relations of Dinichthys’ (1875); ‘Palæozoic Fishes of North America’ (1889); ‘Later Extinct Floras’ (1898); etc. He was especially conversant with the palæontology of the Carboniferous Era in America, and particularly with extinct fishes; and as a teacher he had great popularity and influence. He was among the early members of the National Academy of Sciences. The most interesting portions of the ‘Report on the Colorado River of the West, Explored in 1857-58’ (Washington 1861) were written by him and relate to the geology, physiography and Indians of that region. Consult the memoir by J. J. Stevenson in the American Geologist (Minneapolis, July 1893), and White, C. A., ‘Biographical Memoir of John Strong Newberry’ (Washington 1908).

In 1760 he entered the Danish service as lieutenant of engineers, and in 1761 joined the expedition sent by Frederick V of Denmark to explore Arabia, Egypt and Syria. All his companions in this expedition died within a year after their departure, but in spite of these distressing discouragements, he pursued his work single-handed, and in 1766 returned to Copenhagen. The works in which he gave the world the result of his expedition are classics and remarkable for their accuracy,
They include ‘Breschreibung von Arabien’ (1772); ‘Reisebeschreibung von Arabien und anderen umliegenden Ländern’ (1774-78). Consult his son's ‘Karsten Niebuhr's Leben’ (1817; Eng. trans., 1838).
