# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume II/Memory

CHAPTER VII.
AN ALLUSION TO THE PAST.
Ah! there are memories that will not vanish;
Thoughts of the past we have no power to banish;
To shew the heart how powerless mere will,
For we may suffer, and yet struggle still.
It is not at our choice that we forget,
That is a power no science teaches yet:
The heart may be a dark and closed up tomb;
But memory stands a ghost amid the gloom!

CHAPTER XII.
GOSSIPPING.
These are the spiders of society;
They weave their petty webs of lies and sneers,
And lie themselves in ambush for the spoil.
The web seems fair, and glitters in the sun,
And the poor victim winds him in the toil
Before he dreams of danger, or of death.
Alas, the misery that such inflict!
A word, a look, have power to wring the heart,
And leave it struggling hopeless in the net
Spread by the false and cruel, who delight
In the ingenious torment they contrive.

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume II/Immortality

CHAPTER XXXV.
THE LAST LETTER.
Strong as the death it masters, is the hope
That onward looks to immortality:
Let the frame perish, so the soul survive,
Pure, spiritual, and loving. I believe
The grave exalts, not separates, the ties
That hold us in affection to our kind.
I will look down from yonder pitying sky,
Watching and waiting those I loved on earth
Anxious in heaven, until they too are there.
I will attend your guardian angel's side,
And weep away your faults with holy tears;
Your midnight shall be filled with solemn thought:
And when, at length, death brings you to my love,
Mine the first welcome heard in Paradise.

CHAPTER XXX.
SIR ROBERT WALPOLE AND HOUSE.
This is the charm of poetry: it comes
On sad perturbed moments; and its thoughts,
Like pearls amid the troubled waters, gleam.
That which we garnered in our eager youth,
Becomes a long delight in after years:
The mind is strengthened, and the heart refreshed
By some old memory of gifted words,
That bring sweet feelings, answering to our own,
Or dreams that waken some more lofty mood
Than dwelleth with the commonplace of life.

CHAPTER XXVI.
REMINISCENCES.
Ah, tell me not that memory
 Sheds gladness o'er the past;
What is recalled by faded flowers,
 Save that they did not last?
Were it not better to forget,
Than but remember and regret?
Look back upon your hours of youth—
 What were your early years,
But scenes of childish cares and griefs?
 And say not childish tears
Were nothing; at that time they were
More than the young heart well could bear.
Go on to riper years, and look
 Upon your sunny spring;
And from the wrecks of former years,
 What will your memory bring?—
Affections wasted, pleasures fled,
And hopes now numbered with the dead!

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume II/Doubts

CHAPTER VIII.
DOUBTS.
Ask me not, love, what may be in my heart
When, gazing on thee, sudden teardrops start;
When only joy should come where'er thou art.
The human heart is compassed with fears;
And joy is tremulous, for it enspheres
An earth-born star, which melts away in tears.
I am too happy for a careless mirth—
Hence anxious thoughts, and sorrowful, have birth;
Who looks from heaven, is half returned to earth.
How powerless is my fond anxiety!
I feel I could lay down my life for thee,
Yet feel how vain such sacrifice might be.
Hence do I tremble in my happiness;
Hurried and dim the unknown hours press:
I question of a past I dare not guess.

CHAPTER XXI.
Oh, what a waste of feeling and of thought
Have been the imprints on my roll of life!
What worthless hours! to what use have I turned
The golden gifts which are my hope and pride!
My power of song, unto how base a use
Has it been put! with its pure ore I made
An idol, living only on the breath
Of idol worshippers. Alas! that ever
Praise should have been what praise has been to me—
The opiate of the mind!

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume II/Love

CHAPTER XXIV.
AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT.
Love is a thing of frail and delicate growth;
Soon checked, soon fostered; feeble, and yet strong:
It will endure much, suffer long, and bear
What would weigh down an angel's wing to earth,
And yet mount heavenward; but not the less
It dieth of a word, a look, a thought;
And when it dies, it dies without a sign
To tell how fair it was in happier hours:
It leaves behind reproaches and regrets,
And bitterness within affection's well,
For which there is no healing.

# Poems (Wordsworth, 1815)/Volume 1/Ellen Irwin

VI.
ELLEN IRWIN,
OR
THE BRAES OF KIRTLE.
Fair Ellen Irwin, when she sate Upon the Braes of Kirtle, Was lovely as a Grecian Maid Adorned with wreaths of myrtle. Young Adam Bruce beside her lay; And there did they beguile the day With love and gentle speeches, Beneath the budding beeches.
From many Knights and many Squires The Bruce had been selected; And Gordon, fairest of them all, By Ellen was rejected. Sad tidings to that noble Youth! For it may be proclaimed with truth, ​If Bruce hath loved sincerely, That Gordon loves as dearly.
But what is Gordon's beauteous face? And what are Gordon's crosses To them who sit by Kirtle's Braes Upon the verdant mosses? Alas that ever he was born! The Gordon, couched behind a thorn, Sees them and their caressing, Beholds them blest and blessing.
Proud Gordon cannot bear the thoughts That through his brain are travelling,— And, starting up, to Bruce's heart He launched a deadly javelin! Fair Ellen saw it when it came, And, stepping forth to meet the same, Did with her body cover The Youth, her chosen lover.
And, falling into Bruce's arms, Thus died the beauteous Ellen, Thus from the heart of her True-love The mortal spear repelling. ​And Bruce, as soon as he had slain The Gordon, sailed away to Spain; And fought with rage incessant Against the Moorish Crescent.
But many days, and many months, And many years ensuing, This wretched Knight did vainly seek The death that he was wooing: And coming back across the wave, Without a groan on Ellen's grave His body he extended, And there his sorrow ended.
Now ye, who willingly have heard The tale I have been telling, May in Kirkonnel churchyard view The grave of lovely Ellen: By Ellen's side the Bruce is laid; And, for the stone upon his head, May no rude hand deface it, And its forlorn Hie jacet!

II.
A whirl-blast from behind the hill Rushed o'er the wood with startling sound Then—all at once the air was still, And showers of hailstones pattered round. Where leafless Oaks towered high above, I sat within an undergrove Of tallest hollies, tall and green; A fairer bower was never seen. From year to year the spacious floor With withered leaves is covered o'er, You could not lay a hair between: And all the year the bower is green. But see! where'er the hailstones drop The withered leaves all skip and hop, There's not a breeze—no breath of air— Yet here, and there, and every where ​Along the floor, beneath the shade By those embowering hollies made, The leaves in myriads jump and spring, As if with pipes and music rare Some Robin Good-fellow were there, And all those leaves in festive glee Were dancing to the minstrelsy.

ANECDOTE FOR FATHERS,
Showing how the Practice of Lying may be taught.
I have a Boy of five years old; His face is fair and fresh to see; His limbs are cast in beauty's mould, And dearly he loves me.
One morn we strolled on our dry walk, Our quiet home all full in view, And held such intermitted talk As we are wont to do.
My thoughts on former pleasures ran; I thought of Kilve's delightful shore, Our pleasant home, when Spring began, A long, long year before.
​A day it was when I could bear To think—and think—and think again; With so much happiness to spare, I could not feel a pain.
My Boy was by my side, so slim And graceful in his rustic dress! And oftentimes I talked to him, In very idleness.
The young lambs ran a pretty race; The morning sun shone bright and warm; "Kilve," said I, "was a pleasant place; And so is Liswyn farm.
My little Boy, which like you more," I said, and took him by the arm— "Our home by Kilve's delightful shore, Or here at Liswyn farm?
And tell me, had you rather be," I said, and held him by the arm, "At Kilve's smooth shore by the green sea, Or here at Liswyn farm?"
​In careless mood he looked at me, While still I held him by the arm, And said, "At Kilve I'd rather be Than here at Liswyn farm."
"Now, little Edward, say why so; My little Edward, tell me why."— "I cannot tell, I do not know."— "Why, this is strange," said I.
"For, here are woods, and green-hills warm: There surely must some reason be Why you would change sweet Liswyn farm For Kilve by the green sea."
At this, my Boy hung down his head, He blushed with shame, nor made reply; And five times to the Child I said, "Why, Edward, tell me why?
His head he raised—there was in sight, It caught his eye, he saw it plain— Upon the house-top, glittering bright, A broad and gilded Vane.
​Then did the boy his tongue unlock; And thus to me he made reply: "At Kilve there was no weather-cock, And that's the reason why."
O dearest, dearest Boy! my heart For better lore would seldom yearn, Could I but teach the hundredth part Of what from thee I learn.

IV.
CHARACTERISTICS
Of a Child three Years old.
Loving she is, and tractable, though wild; And Innocence hath privilege in her To dignify arch looks and laughing eyes; And feats of cunning; and the pretty round Of trespasses, affected to provoke Mock-chastisement and partnership in play. And, as a faggot sparkles on the hearth, Not less if unattended and alone Than when both young and old sit gathered round And take delight in its activity, Even so this happy Creature of herself Is all sufficient: solitude to her Is blithe society, who fills the air With gladness and involuntary songs. Light are her sallies as the tripping Fawn's Forth-startled from the fern where she lay couched; Unthought-of, unexpected as the stir Of the soft breeze ruffling the meadow flowers; Or from before it chasing wantonly The many-coloured images impressed Upon the bosom of a placid lake.

V.
ADDRESS TO A CHILD,
During a boisterous Winter Evening.
By a female Friend of the Author.
What way does the Wind come? What way does he go? He rides over the water, and over the snow, Through wood, and through vale; and o'er rocky height Which the goat cannot climb takes his sounding flight. He tosses about in every bare tree, As, if you look up, you plainly may see; But how he will come, and whither he goes There's never a Scholar in England knows.
He will suddenly stop in a cunning nook, And rings a sharp larum;—but if you should look There's nothing to see but a cushion of snow Round as a pillow, and whiter than milk, And softer than if it were covered with silk. ​Sometimes he'll hide in the cave of a rock, Then whistle as shrill as the buzzard cock; —Yet seek him,—and what shall you find in the place? Nothing but silence and empty space, Save, in a corner, a heap of dry leaves, That he's left for a bed for beggars or thieves!
As soon as 'tis daylight, to-morrow, with me You shall go to the orchard, and then you will see That he has been there, and made a great rout, And cracked the branches, and strewn them about; Heaven grant that he spare but that one upright twig That looked up at the sky so proud and big All last summer, as well you know, Studded with apples, a beautiful show!
Hark! over the roof he makes a pause, And growls as if he would fix his claws Right in the slates, and with a huge rattle Drive them down, like men in a battle: —But let him range round; be does us no harm We build up the fire, we're snug and warm; Untouch'd by his breath see the candle shines bright, And burns with a clear and steady light; ​Books have we to read,—hush! that half-stifled knell, Me thinks 'tis the sound of the eight o'clock bell.
—Come, now we'll to bed! and when we are there He may work his own will, and what shall we care? He may knock at the door,—we'll not let him in, May drive at the windows,—we'll laugh at his din; Let him seek his own home wherever it be; Here's a cozie warm House for Edward and me.

DEDICATION.
TO
SIR GEORGE HOWLAND BEAUMONT, BART.
MY DEAR SIR GEORGE,
Accept my thanks for the permission given me to dedicate these Volumes to you.—In addition to a lively pleasure derived from general considerations, I feel, upon this occasion, a particular satisfaction; for by inscribing these Poems with your Name, I seem to myself in some degree to repay, by an appropriate honour, the great obligation which I owe to one part of the Collection—as having been the means of first making us personally known ​to each other. Upon much of the remainder, also, you have a peculiar claim,—for several of the best pieces were composed under the shade of your own groves, upon the classic ground of Coleorton; where I was animated by the recollection of those illustrious Poets, of your Name and Family, who were born in that neighbourhood; and, we may be assured, did not wander with indifference by the dashing stream of Grace-dieu, and among the rocks that diversify the forest of Charnwood.—Nor is there any one to whom such parts of this Collection as have been inspired or coloured by the beautiful Country from which I now address you, could be presented with more propriety than to yourself—who have composed so many admirable Pictures from the suggestions of the same scenery. Early in life, the sublimity and beauty of this Region ​excited your admiration; and I know that you are bound to it in mind by a still-strengthening attachment.
Wishing and hoping that this Work, with the embellishments it has received from your Pencil, may survive as a lasting memorial of a friendship, which I reckon among the blessings of my life,
I have the honour to be, My dear Sir George, Yours most affectionately and faithfully, WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.

# Powell v. Harman/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
The question now referred to this Court differs from that which was decided in Patton's lessee vs. Easton, 1 Wheat. 476, in this, that the defendant who sets up a possession of seven years in bar of the plaintiff's title, endeavours to connect himself with a grant. The sale and conveyance however, by which this connexion is to be formed, are admitted to be void. The conveyance being made by a person having no authority to make it, is of no validity, and cannot connect the purchaser with the original grant. We are therefore of opinion that the law is for the plaintiff, and that this be certified as the opinion of this Court.
This cause came on the be heard on a certificate of division of opinion of the judges of the circuit court of the United States for the district of west Tennessee, and on the questions and points on which the said judges of that court were divided in opinion, and which have been certified to this Court; and was argued by counsel: on consideration whereof, this Court is of opinion, that under the statute of limitations of Tennessee, of seventeen hundred and ninety seven, a possession of seven years is a protection only when held under a grant or under valid mesne conveyances; or a paper title, which are legally or equitably connected with a grant; and that a void deed is not such a conveyance, as that a possession under it will be protected under the statute of limitations; all which is directed and ordered to be certified to the said circuit court of the United States, for the seventh circuit and district of west Tennessee.

Powell v. Harman
THIS case came before the Court from the circuit court of western Tennessee, on a certificate of division from the judges of that court.
In the court below, the lessor of the plaintiff showed a regular title to the lands in question, under a grant from the state of North Carolina; and proved that the defendant was in possession of the land in dispute.
The defendant proved, that he had been in peacedable possession of the land for more than seven years, holding adversely to the plaintiff, under a deed from the sheriff of Montgomery county, dated the 14th of April 1808, founded upon a sale for taxes; but which sale was admitted to be void, because the requisites of the law in regard to the sale of lands for taxes, had not been complied with.
Upon the trial of this cause, it occurred as a question, whether, under the statute of limitations of Tennessee of 1797, a possession of seven years is a protection only when held under a grant or under valid mesne conveyances, or a paper title, which are legally or equitably connected with a grant; or whether a possession under a void deed is such a conveyance, as that a possession under it will be protected by the statute of limitations. The judges being opposed upon this question, it was referred to this Court for their opinion.
Mr. Chief Justice MARSHALL delivered the opinion of the Court.

* THE PALEONTOLOGICAL RECORD
By Professor JOHN M. CLARKE
STATE MUSEUM, ALBANY, N. Y.
Introductory.—The birth of a new society devoted to special scientific aims counts but little for the advancement of knowledge and culture in these days of multiplex organizations if it fails to come into being and before the world with an adequate excuse and a clean-cut purpose. The Paleontological Society, which was conceived a year ago and born last-winter in Boston at the meetings of the American Association, is the outcome of a conviction on the part of workers in this science that there is a common bond of interest among them all, in spite of the peculiar conditions which have stamped paleontology with their diversity and kept its devotees asunder. Students of this science have approached it along different avenues. Some, and chiefly those dealing with the vertebrates, have laid the foundations of their work in the living world; others, and here chiefly the students of invertebrates, have made their entry as geologists and have worked their way from beneath upward to the earth's surface. Among the paleobotanists good men have arrived through both approaches. As an equipment for trustworthy and lasting work, both of these lines of preparation have proved their efficiency and so all arguments bent to demonstrate the superiority of the one over the other schooling resolve themselves to a conclusion that both are essential to the best result.
Diversity in training and in the field of activity has led to diversity of sympathy, and it seemed, even to those who had long hoped for a unification of these interests, that it might hardly be practicable to obliterate these cleavage planes. The governing principles of the science are common, the bearings of paleontologic researches and results are the widest conceivable in their relation to the problems of life, whether past, present or future, and it is not likely that the magnitude of the science can be unduly stated. From some such considerations as these, the writer, chosen as first president of the new society, endeavored to bring into the foreground of the society's first meeting, by a "Conference on the Aspects of Paleontology," an introductory presentment of some of the broader factors and principles of the science, and the articles that follow herewith are the partial outcome of this conference. In every case where practicable, the themes were presented by two ​speakers making their approach from different fields of interest. The conference was an effort to define and emphasize the common platform on which the paleontologists must stand together; even more than this, it was a purpose to declare at the outset that the organization, though the patron of detailed researches and patient endeavor, recognizes that the sole impulse which can guarantee its usefulness and maintain its integrity is its devotion to a standard which touches close on human interests.
