# The Golden Violet with its Tales of Romance and Chivalry and Other Poems/Eulalia’s Song

"Now take the harp, Eulalia mine, For thy sad song;" and at the sign Came forth a maiden. She was fair And young; yet thus can spring-time wear The traces of far other hour Than should be on such gentle flower. Her eyes were downcast, as to keep Their secret, for they shamed to weep; Her cheek was pale, but that was lost, So often the bright blushes cross'd;
And seem'd her mouth so sweet the while, As if its nature were to smile; Her very birthright hope,—but earth Keeps not the promise of its birth. 'T was whisper'd that young maiden's breast Had harbour'd wild and dangerous guest; Love had been there,—in that is said All that of doom the heart can dread. Oh! born of Beauty, in those isles  Which far 'mid Grecian seas arise, They call'd thy mother queen of smiles,  But, Love, they only gave thee sighs. She woke the harp: at first her touch  Seem'd as it sought some lighter strain; But the heart breathes itself, and such  As suffer deep seek mirth in vain.
SONG.
Farewell, farewell, I'll dream no more,  'T is misery to be dreaming; Farewell, farewell, and I will be  At least like thee in seeming. I will go forth to the green vale,  Where the sweet wild flowers are dwelling, Where the leaves and the birds together sing,  And the woodland fount is welling. Not there, not there, too much of bloom  Has spring flung o'er each blossom; The tranquil place too much contrasts  The unrest of my bosom. I will go to the lighted halls,  Where midnight passes fleetest;
Oh! memory there too much recalls  Of saddest and of sweetest. I'll turn me to the gifted page  Where the bard his soul is flinging; Too well it echoes mine own heart,  Breaking e'en while singing. I must have rest; oh! heart of mine.  When wilt thou lose thy sorrow? Never, till in the quiet grave;  Would I slept there to-morrow!

The Dream. This tale is founded on more modern tradition than that of the distant age to which my minstrel belongs: the vision, the prophecy, and ultimately death of the youthful pair, are actual facts; and the present ———— Campbell, Esq. Laird of Glensaddaell, Anglicè Melancholy Valley, is the very child whose health and prosperity have realised the prediction of his birth.

Sir Walter Manny. The most touching incident on which this little poem is founded is a historic fact, and as such is recorded in Mills's History of Chivalry; pages to which my debt of obligation and delight is more freely though no regretfully rendered, in the knowledge that it is gratitude, not flattery, which is spoken of the dead.

# The Golden Violet with its Tales of Romance and Chivalry and Other Poems/One Day

ONE DAY.
And this the change from morning to midnight.
The sunshine of the morning  Is abroad upon the sky, And glorious as that red sunshine  The crimson banners fly; The snow-white plumes are dancing,  Flash casques and helms of gold: 'T is the gathering of earth's chivalry,  Her proud, her young, her bold.
The fiery steeds are foaming,  Sweeps by the trumpet blast, I hear a long and pealing shout,  The soldier bands are past.
The sunshine of the morning  Is abroad upon the sea, And mistress of the wave and wind  Yon vessel seems to be. Like the pine-tree of the forest  Her tall mast heaven-ward springs, Her white sails bear her onwards  Like the eagle's rushing wings. That deck is nobly laden,  For gallant hearts are there; What danger is they would not face,  The deed they would not dare?
The sunshine of the morning  Is abroad upon the hills, With the singing of the green-wood leaves,  And of a thousand rills. There springs the youthful hunter  With his winged spear and bow, He hath the falcon's flashing eye,  The fleet foot of the roe. He goes with a light carol,  And his own heart is as light; On, on he bounds from rock to rock,  Rejoicing in his might.
The sunshine of the morning  Is abroad upon yon fane, There, mid his country's monuments,  Dreams the young bard his strain.
Stand there on marble pedestal  The great of olden time; Marvel ye minstrel's brow is flush'd  With thoughts and hopes sublime?
The moonshine of the midnight  Is abroad upon the plain; Where gather'd morning's glorious ranks,  There welter now the slain. Thousands are sunk there dying,  Pillow'd upon the dead; The banner lies by the white plume,  But both alike are red.
The moonshine of the midnight  Is abroad upon the seas, The waves have risen in their might  To battle with the breeze.
That ship has been the victim;  Stranded on yon bleak coast, She has lost her mast, her winged sails,  And her deck its warlike boast. O'er her bravest sweep the waters,  And a pale and ghastly band Cling to the black rock's side, or pace  Like ghosts the sullen strand.
The moonshine of the midnight  Is abroad upon the hills; No hunter's step is ringing there,  No horn the echo fills. He is laid on a snow pillow,  Which his red heart-blood has dyed; One false step, and the jagged rock  Enter'd the hunter's side.
The moonshine of the midnight  Is shining o'er the fane; Where the bard awoke the morning song  He'll never wake again. Go thou to yon lone cavern,  Where the lonely ocean sweeps, There, silent as its darkness,  A maniac vigil keeps. 'T is the bard; his curse is on him,  His fine mind is o'erthrown, Contempt hath jarr'd its tuneful chords,  Neglect destroy'd its tone.
These are but few from many  Of life's chequer'd scenes; yet these Are but as all,—pride, power, hope,  Then weakness, grief, disease.
Oh, glory of the morning!  Oh, ye gifted, young, and brave! What end have ye, but midnight;  What find ye but the grave?

MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.
# The Golden Violet with its Tales of Romance and Chivalry and Other Poems/Isabelle’s Songs

Rose-bud mouth, sunny brow, Wore she, who, fairy-like, sprung now Beside the harp. Careless she hung Over the chords; her bright hair flung
A sunshine round her. Light laugh'd she, "All too sad are your songs for me; Let me try if the strings will breathe For minstrel of the aspen wreath." Lightly the answering prelude fell, Thus sang the Lady Isabelle.
SONG.
Where do purple bubbles swim, But upon the goblet's brim? Drink not deep, howe'er it glow Sparkles never lie below. Beautiful the light that flows From the rich leaves of the rose; Keep it,—then ask, where hath fled Summer's gift of morning red?
Earth's fair are her fleeting things; Heaven, too, lends her angels wings. What can charms to pleasure give, Such as being fugitive? Thus with love: oh! never try Further than a blush or sigh; Blush gone with the clouds that share it, Sigh pass'd with the winds that bear it.
But met she then young Vidal’s eye, His half-sad, half-reproachful sigh: His Isabelle! and could she be Votaress of inconstancy? As if repentant of her words, Blushing she bent her o'er the chords;
With fainter tones the harp then rung, As thus, with bow'd down head, she sung.
SONG.
I have belied my woman's heart,  In my false song's deceiving words; How could I say love would depart,  As pass the lightsongs of spring birds? Vain, vain love would be  Froth upon a summer sea.
No, love was made to soothe and share  The ills that wait our mortal birth; No, love was made to teach us where  One trace of Eden haunts our earth. Born amid the hours of spring,  Soothing autumn's perishing.
Timid as the tale of woe,  Tender as the wood-dove's sigh, Lovely as the flowers below,  Changeless as the stars on high, Made all chance and change to prove,  And this is a woman's love.
# The Golden Violet with its Tales of Romance and Chivalry and Other Poems/Lolotte’s Song

"Well changed, fair lady," laughing said  A girl beside, whose chestnut hair Was wreathed with the wild vine leaves spread,  As if that she some wood nymph were; And darker were her brow and cheek, And richer in their crimson break, Than those of the fair ring beside. In sooth, Lolotte had often tried
The influence of the wind and sun, That loved the cheek they dwelt upon Too well, to leave it without trace They had known such sweet dwelling-place. And her bright eyes seem'd as they had won The radiance which the summer sun Brought to her valleys lone and wild, Where she had dwelt. And now half child, Half woman, in the gay excess Of all youth's morning happiness, She came to the Lady of Isaure's towers, As fresh and as sweet as the forest bowers Where the gladness had pass'd of her earliest hours. "Now harken thee, Lady Isabelle, See if aright I read thy spell, And the rule of thy charm'd sway, to keep Watch over Love's enchanted sleep."
SONG.
Where, oh! where's the chain to fling, One that will bind Cupid's wing, One that will have longer power Than the April sun or shower? Form it not of Eastern gold, All too weighty it to hold; Form it neither all of bloom, Never does Love find a tomb Sudden, soon, as when he meets Death amid unchanging sweets: But if you would fling a chain, And not fling it all in vain, Like a fairy form a spell Of all that is changeable, Take the purple tints that deck, Meteor-like, the peacock's neck;
Take the many hues that play On the rainbow's colour'd way; Never let a hope appear Without its companion fear; Only smile to sigh, and then Change into a smile again; Be to-day as sad, as pale, As minstrel with his lovelorn tale; But to-morrow gay as all Life had been one festival. If a woman would secure All that makes her reign endure, And, alas! her reign must be Ever most in phantasy, Never let an envious eye Gaze upon the heart too nigh;
Never let the veil be thrown Quite aside, as all were known Of delight and tenderness, In the spirit's last recess; And, one spell all spells above, Never let her own her love.

Edition of 1920. See also Hoosac Tunnel on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HOOSAC TUNNEL, in the towns of Adams and Florida, in Berkshire County, in Massachusetts, and piercing the Hoosac Mountain. It is on what is now known as the Boston and Maine Railroad, the route from Boston to Troy, N. Y., by way of Greenfield. From the west entrance of the tunnel to Troy is 54 miles; from the east entrance to Boston, 137 miles. The tunnel is nearly five miles in length, the longest tunnel in the United States and with the exception of the Rogers Pass tunnel in British Columbia the longest on the continent. Before the general introduction of railroads, and, as early as 1825, the project was broached of making a canal across Massachusetts from Boston to the Hudson River. This plan was abandoned when railroads were built across the State. In 1851 the tunnel question had advanced so far that surveys of various routes were made and some experiments were begun. The work of tunneling began in 1856 and was completed in 1873, For so long a tunnel the ventilation is good owing to the shaft, 1,028 feet, sunk near the centre. The width is sufficient for two tracks. The total cost, including 39 miles of adjoining railroad, was about $13,000,000.

HOOSICK FALLS, N. Y., village in Rensselaer County on the Hoosick River and on the Boston and Maine Railroad, about 28 miles northeast of Albany. The first permanent settlement was made in 1688, and the first charter was received in 1827. The charter has been revised and the last revision was in 1890. The village has excellent water power. The chief manufactures are agricultural implements, paper and paper-making machinery, electric insulators, shirts, cotton and woolen goods and flour. The government of the village is vested in a president who holds office three years, and a board of trustees. The site of the British entrenchments at the battle of Bennington, 6 Aug. 1777, is near here and is now maintained as a State park. The waterworks are the property of the village. Pop, 5,532.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hoosier Schoolmaster, The

Edition of 1920. See also The Hoosier Schoolmaster (novel) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HOOSIER SCHOOLMASTER, The. In the conclusion to the ‘Hoosier Schoolmaster’ Edward Eggleston announces his belief that readers whose taste is not perverted always
want a story to “come out well.” Accordingly he so planned this his first and most important romance that the lovers are all happily united, the poor orphans become prosperous and the evil-doers receive just punishment, mitigated somewhat through the generous intervention of those whom they have wronged. The ‘Hoosier Schoolmaster’ owes its great popularity not so much to the conventional plot as to its happy description of early days in Indiana. It pictures the country school in which custom prescribed a constant warfare between the master and the big boys, the community spelling-school, the different forms of bigoted and illiterate preaching that were offered to the new settlers, the amusing attempts at formality in the proceedings of the courts, and other features of pioneer life as the author had seen them in his career as itinerant missionary and agent for a Bible society. Eggleston's fondness for historical accuracy sometimes led him to sacrifice the artistic unity of his story in order to introduce a detail exactly as it was found in real life, but this defect is less noticeable in the ‘Hoosier Schoolmaster’ than in some of his later novels. There is a great variety of characters who, while they are drawn pretty much in unshaded black and white, have enough truth to human nature to seem real. A sufficient humor pervades the whole, the action never drags and the book despite its limitations deserves the great vogue it has had since its publication in 1871.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hoorn, Count of

Edition of 1920. See also Philip de Montmorency, Count of Horn on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HOORN, hōrn, or HOORNE, hōr'nė, or HORN, or HORNES, ŏrn. Count of (Philip II, De Montmorency-Nivelle), Flemish soldier and statesman: b. about 1520; d, Brussels, 5 June 1568. His father was a descendant of the French family of Montmorency, and on the mother's side he was related to Lamoral Egmont, with whose fate his own was linked. His mother became a widow when he was about eight, and was married again to John, Count van Horn, one of the wealthiest nobles of the Netherlands, who left his estates to his wife's children on condition that they should assume his name. Philip was thus at the outset of his career one of the most influential of his order, and received from Charles V and Philip II important trusts and distinctions. He accompanied Philip II to Spain, where he is supposed to
have received information of the designs of the Spanish court against the Netherlands and to have communicated them to the Prince of Orange. Returning to the Netherlands he joined Orange and Egmont in resisting the aggressive policy of Philip; yet continued loyal to the Crown. He was, however, suspected by the Spanish court, and upon the arrival of Alva in Brussels was enticed with Egmont to that city, and arrested in September 1567, on a charge of high treason. Ceaseless but vain efforts were made to obtain for him a fair trial, and appeals for clemency on his behalf were made by potentates in all parts of the Continent. He was executed with Egmont in June 1568. Consult ‘Cambridge Modern History’ (Vol. III, 1905).

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hoopoe

Edition of 1920. See also Hoopoe and Woodhoopoe on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HOOPOE, hoo'pō, a peculiar bird of the Old World, which takes both its vernacular and scientific name (Upupa) from its whooping cry. It is of the group Coccygomorphæ (q.v.) and represents a family (Upupidæ), many species of which inhabit southern Asia and Africa, while one (U. epops) is a well-known migrant in Europe. It is about 12 inches long, is brown above and white beneath, with black, white-barred wings and a very large cinnamon-red black-tipped crest and a long, sharp, curved bill. It seeks its food on the ground, nests in holes in trees, crannies in walls, etc., and has many curious trails and habits which have caused the bird to take a prominent place in the folklore of all countries. The African hoopoes belong to the genus Irrisor and are called wood-hoopoes. They have brilliant plumage but no crest. They go about in noisy flocks and have much the appearance and habits of woodpeckers.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Home, Henry

Edition of 1920. See also Henry Home, Lord Kames on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HOME, Henry, Lord Kames, Scottish lawyer and author: b. Kames, Berwickshire, 1696; d. Edinburgh, 27 Dec 1782. He studied law at Edinburgh, and, called to the bar in 1724, soon acquired reputation by a number of publications on the civil and Scottish law. In 1752 he became a judge of session, and assumed the title of Lord Kames. In addition to legal works he published ‘Essays on British Antiquities’; ‘Essays on the Principles of Morality and Natural Religion,’ in which he advocates the doctrine of philosophical necessity; ‘Introduction to the Art of Thinking’; and his best-known work, ‘Elements of Criticism,’ in which, discarding all arbitrary rules of literary composition, he endeavors to establish a new theory on the principles of human nature. In 1776 he published the ‘Gentleman Farmer’; and in 1781 ‘Loose Thoughts on Education.’
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Home, The

Edition of 1920. See also Hemmet (Bremer) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HOME, The (Hemmet). In her novel ‘The Home’ (or ‘Family Sorrows and Joys’), written in 1839 Fredrika Bremer produced her masterpiece. Though not as absorbing as ‘Grannarne,’ which was translated into many languages and made her famous, it is more true to life. Though the plan of construction shows a certain weakness, the characters are drawn with superior skill. The chief character is Elisa Frank and her relations to her husband, Judge Frank, and her children form the main theme. Fredrika and her own sisters served as models for the daughters whose characters are convincingly described. Petrea, “ready to give away indiscriminately the presents which had been given to her,” is the author herself. Tenderness is shown in the description of the death of Henrik (her brother August), while her humor is at its best where Petrea and Jeremiah are described. In ‘The Home’ we see
Fredrika Bremer for the first time as the champion of woman's emancipation and advancement. For years afterward, and especially after her return from a visit to America, it became her aim in life to deliver also the Swedish woman from the restrictions in her social position. Long before she wrote ‘The Home’ the social conditions which confined woman's activities within very narrow limits and left her helpless, unless she was “happily” married, had aroused the author's indignation. Her bitterness increased when Göta Superior Court expressed its narrow-minded opposition to the proposition that women, at the age of 25, should have the legal right to manage their own affairs. Through the study of the writings of Harriet Martineau she had become convinced that reform by law was necessary. ‘The Home’ has been translated into English by Mary Howitt.

KÖHLER, Ulrich, German archæologist: b. Klein-Neuhausen, grand duchy of Weimar, 6 Nov. 1838; d. Berlin, 24 Oct. 1903. He studied at Jena and was appointed secretary of the Prussian embassy at Athens (1865) and later was made professor of archæology at Strassburg. He was governor of the newly-founded Archæological Institute at Athens (1875) and was appointed professor of ancient history at Berlin (1886). His principal work is the second volume of ‘Corpus inscriptionum atticarum’ (Berlin 1877-95), which contains the inscriptions from the time of the Archon
Euclides to Augustus. Important also is his ‘Urkunden und Untersuchungen zur Geschichte des delisch-attischen Bundes’ (Berlin 1870).
