SONG FOR 'TASSO'
[Published by Mrs. Shelley, Posthumous Poems, 1824.]
i.
But when we cease to breathe and move
I do suppose love ceases too.
I thought, but not as now I do, Keen thoughts and bright of linked lore, 5 Of all that men had thought before,
And all that Nature shows, and more.
ii.
But strangely, for my heart can drink
The dregs of such despair, and live, 10 And love;. . . And if I think, my thoughts come fast,
I mix the present with the past,
And each seems uglier than the last.
iii.
A silver spirit's form, like thee,
O Leonora, and I sit . . . still watching it,
Till by the grated casement's ledge It fades, with such a sigh, as sedge 20 Breathes o'er the breezy streamlet's edge.

Maddalo, a Courtier.Pigna, a Minister. Malpiglio, a Poet.Albano, an Usher.
Maddalo. No access to the Duke! You have not said That the Count Maddalo would speak with him? Pigna. Did you inform his Grace that Signor Pigna Waits with state papers for his signature? Malpiglio. The Lady Leonora cannot know 5 That I have written a sonnet to her fame, In which IVenus and Adonis. You should not take my gold and serve me not. Albano. In truth I told her, and she smiled and said, 'If I am Venus, thou, coy Poesy, 10 Art the Adonis whom I love, and he The Erymanthian boar that wounded him,' O trust to me, Signor Malpiglio, Those nods and smiles were favours worth the zechin. Malpiglio. The words are twisted in some double sense 15 That I reach not: the smiles fell not on me. Pigna. How are the Duke and Duchess occupied? Albano. Buried in some strange talk. The Duke was leaning, His finger on his brow, his lips unclosed. The Princess sate within the window-seat, 20 And so her face was hid; but on her knee
Her hands were clasped, veined, and pale as snow,
And quivering—young Tasso, too, was there. Maddalo. Thou seest on whom from thine own worshipped heaven
Thou drawest down smiles—they did not rain on thee. 25 Malpiglio. Would they were parching lightnings for his sake
On whom they fell!

VARNHAGEN, värn-ä'gĕn, Francisco Adolphe de, Brazilian historian: b. São João de Ypanema, Brazil, 17 Feb. 1816; d. Vienna, Austria, 29 June 1878. He was taken to Portugal when very young, educated in the royal military college and in 1833-34 served in the constitutional army against Dom Miguel. He afterward engaged in historical researches, returned to Brazil in 1841 and during the remainder of his life was largely occupied on various diplomatic missions in South America and in Europe. As a historian he ranks easily at the head of Brazilian men of letters, his work displaying profound research and presented with clearness and force. He edited and published various historical documents, contributed numerous papers to the ‘Revista do Instituto do Brazil’ and wrote ‘Noticias do Brazil’ (1852); ‘Historia geral do Brazil’ (1854-57); ‘Das wahre Guanahani des Columbus’ (1869); ‘L'origine Touranienne des Américains Tupis-Caribes, et des anciens Egyptiens’ (1876), etc.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Vanilla

Edition of 1920. See also Vanilla on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
VANILLA, a genus of orchids, of great economic value, on account of their fruits, which furnish the commercial flavoring-extract known by the same name. Several species furnish vanilla, the most important being V. planifolia, indigenous to Mexico and adjacent territories. It is a robust high-climbing plant, attaching itself to trees by adventitious roots. It hears bright-green, oval, flat leaves, which are fleshy or coriaceous. The flowers are fragrant and greenish-white, with a trumpet-shaped lip, crinkled about the edges. When cultivated, as it is very largely, in tropical countries, especially in Mexico and Java, the flowers must be fertilized artificially, the finest being chosen, a process carried out by insects in its wild habitat. They then set fleshy fruit, which is carefully picked just before each is ripe. These pods are from six to nine inches long and are filled with an oily pulp containing the minute seeds. They are called vanilla beans from their long, slender legume-like appearance, but are not fragrant. The characteristic aroma is due to the presence of a volatile oil (vanillin) which is developed by slow curing and fermentation. The pod, as it appears in the markets,
is chocolate-colored, wrinkled, slender and pliable. In the best qualities, or “frosted vanilla,” the vanillin extrudes its needle-like crystals, forming a delicate efflorescence on the outside of the beans. Although vanilla is a carminative and stimulative drug, it is chiefly used as a flavoring substance, particularly for chocolate and confectionery. The Spaniards found vanilla in use among the Mexican Indians, in conjunction with cocoa, and it is said that it was first imported into England about 1510, when other Mexican products found their way over seas.
There are several inferior qualities of vanilla, Each as the Venezuelan and Brazilian varieties, brought from those countries, the latter being distinguished as vanillon, and supposed to be the product of Vanilla pompona. The pods are longer and thicker than those of V. planifolia. Guiana vanilla pods (V. guianensis) are coarse and frequently split open.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Vanity of Human Wishes, The

Edition of 1920. See also The Vanity of Human Wishes on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
VANITY OF HUMAN WISHES, The. Ostensibly a formal satire in heroic couplets (368 lines) published by Dr. Samuel Johnson in 1749, more than a decade after the appearance of his other notable satire, ‘London.’ As that had followed in a way the third satire of Juvenal, so this followed the tenth. In the interval between the two Johnson's style had grown more rotund and he himself had ripened into a dignified moral essayist soon to give expression to his views of life in The Rambler. Indeed, it might be held that ‘The Vanity of Human Wishes’ is more of a weighty essay in verse than it is of a keen satire. This point need not be pressed, however, nor need we emphasize Macaulay's well-known comparison with the Tenth Juvenal. What mainly matters is that Johnson, although probably more of a rhetorician than of a poet, gave the readers in this essay, or satire, one of the best pieces of sententious poetry in the language. The famous portraits of Wolsey and of Charles XII of Sweden fail to impress but few readers, and there are other passages and single lines equally memorable — e.g., “Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail,” and ‘Superfluous lags the veteran on the stage’ — the first truer of Johnson's own career than the second. Tested by any standards of poetry in which an appeal to the intellect is given due weight, ‘The Vanity of Human Wishes’ is worthy of the fame of its author; but it must be admitted that it does not touch the heart so deeply as the simple stanzas Johnson wrote on the death of his friend, the old quack-doctor, Robert Levet.

He was brought to this country in infancy by his parents, studied medicine at the Berkshire Medical Institute, Pittsfield, Mass, and practised his profession in Elgin and Ringwood, Ill., 1848-66. He was the botanist of the Powell Colorado Exposition in 1868 and of the Department of Agriculture at Washingtom from 1873 till his death. He gave his attention in his latest years almost entirely to the study of grasses, to which his publications chiefly relate. Among them are ‘A Catalogue of the Forest Trees of the
United States’ (1876); ‘Agricultural Grasses of the United States’ (1884); ‘Grasses of the Southwest’ (1890-91); ‘Grasses of the Pacific Slope’ (1892-93).

VANDERGRIFT, văn-dėr-grĭft, Pa., borough in Westmoreland County, on the Kiskiminetas River, and on the western Pennsylvania division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, 25 miles east of Pittsburgh. It is situated in a beautiful valley and is noted for its manufacture of sheet steel, the Apollo Iron and Steel Company, now absorbed by the United States Steel Corporation, being situated here, and is one of the largest steel plants in the world, having eight open hearth furnaces, a gigantic continuous bar mill, 29 complete sheet mills and a large plant for galvanizing the sheets. Natural gas is used as fuel. The mills have an output of 45 carloads of finished steel a day. The town has graded schools and a high school established in 1900; a public library and eight churches. There are two newspapers and good banking facilities. Vandergrift was founded by the Apollo Iron and Steel Company on 650 acres of land, upon which they erected their works in 1896 and 1897. The value of the works is estimated at $5,500,000. The town is very remarkable as a successful demonstration of the economic principles and is known in the iron world as the “workingman's paradise.” The town was laid out and sewered, and water, electric light and gas plants built, streets paved, trees planted, etc., before a single lot was sold to the employees. Nearly all the homes in the town are owned by those who live in them, and every lot of land was sold with a stipulation in the deed that no liquors should be sold on any of them for 99 years. The mills have never closed down since they were started, except at intervals for repairs. The workmen are well paid and of unusual intelligence, and belong to no labor union, and the town has never had any labor disturbances. A borough was formed in 1915, taking in most of the town and known as Vandergrift Heights. Pop. 3,876.

He studied at Berlin, Halle, and Tübingen, assisted Chamisso in the latter's ‘Musenalmanach’ (1804), in 1809 entered the Austrian army, fought at Aspern and Wagram, and after the peace was made adjutant to Prince Bentheim. Then he entered the Russian service as captain, served in Tettenborn's corps, and wrote a ‘Geschichte der Kriegszüge Tettenborns’ (1814). He accompanied Prince Hardenburg to the Congress of Vienna (1814), and in 1815-19 was Prussian Minister-Resident at Carlsruhe. Subsequently he lived chiefly at Berlin. He was particularly successful in biographical portraiture, though at times relying overmuch on the anecdotal
method. Among his published works are ‘Goethe in den Zeugnissen der Mitlebenden’ (1823); ‘Biographische Denkmäler’ (1824-30); ‘Denkwürdigkeiten und Vermischte Schriften’ (1843-46; 2 additional vols., 1859); ‘Tagebücher’ (1861-72); ‘Ausgewählte Schriften’ (1871-77).

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Forestry Associations

Edition of 1920. See also American Forests on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
FORESTRY ASSOCIATIONS. In 1875 The American Forestry Association was formed at Chicago with the object of collecting and disseminating information on forestry and of fostering the conservation of the existing forests. This association was merged in 1882, into the American Forestry Congress, which became at once nationally influential in
promoting the cause of forestry. In 1889 the original name was resumed. During the early years of its existence, the Association relied on annual reports, occasional bulletins, and the general press for the publication of information about forestry; but in 1897 it took over from the New Jersey Forestry Association the publication of the periodical The Forester, changing the title later to Forestry and Irrigation, Conservation, and, finally, American Forestry. American Forestry appears monthly and is one of the best forest periodicals in existence. The Association now has about 10,000 members, and is very active and influential in educating public sentiment and in shaping forestry legislation. Minnesota and Pennsylvania forestry associations were organized in 1876 and 1886, respectively; and for some years the latter's magazine Forest Leaves was the official organ of the American Forestry Association. Many State and local associations carry on similar work in various parts of the country. The Society of American Foresters, organized in 1900, is a professional society whose active membership is composed entirely of technically trained foresters of achievement. Its meetings and publications have contributed a great deal toward the solution of the forest problems of America. Under its auspices is published The Journal of Forestry, which was called until 1917 The Proceedings of the Society of American Foresters. Another class of associations of great importance in the preservation of the forest is the fire protective associations organized by timber owners in many States. Most of these are local in character; one State possesses 16 of them; in all, 43 have been formed in 13 States. In the Far West these protective associations are combined under one large organization, the Western Forestry and Conservation Association. They are in general a direct result of the work of the Government Forest Service, and side by side with it have been a powerful factor in bringing Federal, State, and private protective agencies together in close co-operation, in educating the public regarding the value of fire protection, and in shaping legislation for the reduction of the fire loss.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Forest Laws

Edition of 1920. See also Royal forest on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
FOREST LAWS, in English law, legal restrictions regarding forests of the king. Forest laws applied not only to the royal forests of England but to Scotland as well.
The area subject to the jurisdiction of these courts in England included not only woodland but often pastures and villages. Some of these forests dated from the Anglo-Saxon period. Up to the time of Edward I their area was constantly added to by various kings by a summary proceeding known as afforestment. This consisted of a proclamation made by the king to the effect that any tract of land he desired, without compensation to the owner, was to be constituted a forest, after observing certain formalities, a right which it seems he had by common law. All offenders in such forests were punished by forest law and not by common law. There were three forests courts: woodmote, swainmote and justice seat. The woodmote was a court of attachment and had jurisdiction over minor offenses only, but could not convict. This court was presided over by verderers, officers chosen by freeholders of the forest. The swainmote had power to try and convict, but no power to pass judgment. It was presided over by the verderers, and all freeholders were obliged to attend. The court of justice seat had jurisdiction over all civil and criminal offenses committed in a forest. This court sat every third year and was presided over by the justices in eyre.
Under some of the kings of England the penalties for violations of the forest laws were inordinately severe, blinding and even death being the penalty for killing game during the reign of Henry I. These laws were mitigated by King John, but only under compulsion. Edward I finally abolished afforestment by force, yielding to the earnest desires of his subjects.
There were many royal forests in Scotland, but the code to which they were subject contained no such severe penalties as that of England, although otherwise the codes are very similar.
During the latter half of the 19th century Parliament disafforested, under the plea of public necessity, three royal forests, those of Whittlewood, Wichwood and Hainault. Epping Forest, which forms part of the ancient Waltham Forest was the subject of legislation
by Parliament in 1871, and as a result was declared open to the public by Queen Victoria in 1882, the ancient court of verderers being revived. There are still royal forests in England and the Crown has certain rights in private forests in a limited number of places to this day.

ABOUT Yule, when the wind blew cule, And the round tables began, A there is cum to our king's court Mony a well-favourd man. The queen luikt owre the castle-wa, Beheld baith dale and down, And then she saw Young Waters Cum riding to the town. His footmen they did rin before, His horsemen rade behind; Ane mantel of the burning gowd Did keip him frae the wind. Gowden-graithd his horse before, And siller-shod behind; The horse Young Waters rade upon Was fleeter than the wind. Out then spake a wylie lord, Unto the queen said he, 'O tell me wha's the fairest face Rides in the company?' 'I've sene lord, and I've sene laird, And knights of high degree, But a fairer face than Young Waters Mine eyne did never see.' Out then spack the jealous king, And an angry man was he: 'O if he had been twice as fair, You micht have excepted me.' 'You're neither laird nor lord,' she says, 'Bot the king that wears the crown; There is not a knight in fair Scotland But to thee maun bow down.' For a' that she could do or say, Appeasd he wad nae bee, Bot for the words which she had said, Young Waters he maun dee. They hae taen Young Waters, And put fetters to his feet; They hae taen Young Waters, And thrown him in dungeon deep. 'Aft I have ridden thro Stirling town In the wind bot and the weit; Bot I neir rade thro Stirling town Wi fetters at my feet. t have I ridden thro Stirling town In the wind bot and the rain; Bot I neir rade thro Stirling town Neir to return again.' They hae taen to the heiding-hill His young son in his craddle, And they hae taen to the heiding-hill His horse bot and his saddle. They hae taen to the heiding-hill His lady fair to see, And for the words the queen had spoke Young Waters he did dee.
