# Littell's Living Age/Volume 127/Issue 1636/Death as the King's Courtier

* DEATH AS THE KING'S COURTIER.
* "I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive." — Ecclesiastes.
* Couched in the lap of the last concubine —
* Satiate of bitter knowledge, weary-wise —
* Watching through heedless and half-opened eyes
* The rhythmic dancer-groups divide, entwine,
* Divide again, in sway and swirl divine —
* Where fitful peeps and lingers, peeps and flies
* Some unveiled charm voluptuous — so lies
* The languid king, and lifts his cup for wine.
* And at the call there comes, with creaking gait,
* Yet louting low in uncouth courtier grace.
* One rich apparell'd in a robe of state,
* At sight of whom all, all shrink back a space —
* Save the wan king; he, slow, without debate,
* Drains down the cup — and then they hide his face.
* Frank T. Marzials
* Examiner.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 127/Issue 1636/Not To Be

* NOT TO BE.
* The rose said, "Let but this long rain be past.
* And I shall feel my sweetness in the sun,
* And pour its fulness into life at last;"
* But when the rain was done,
* But when dawn sparkled through unclouded air,
* She was not there.
* The lark said, "Let but winter be away.
* And blossoms come, and light, and I will soar,
* And lose the earth, and be the voice of day;"
* But when the snows were o'er.
* But when spring broke in blueness overhead,
* The lark was dead.
* And myriad roses made the garden glow,
* And skylarks carolled all the summer long —
* What lack of birds to sing and flowers to blow?
* Yet, ah, lost scent, lost song!
* Poor empty rose, poor lark that never trilled!
* Dead unfulfilled!
* Augusta Webster.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 127/Issue 1637/Birds of Passage

* BIRDS OF PASSAGE.
* Ye fugitive guests on the far foreign strand.
* When seek ye again your own dear native land?
* When flowers coyly peep out,
* In native dales growing,
* And rivulets leap out
* Past alders a-blowing.
* On lifted wings hither
* The tiny ones hie;
* None tells the way whither
* Through wildering sky,
* Yet surely they fly.
* They find it so safely, the long sighed-for north.
* Where spring both their food and their shelter holds forth.
* The fountain's breast swelleth,
* Refreshing the weary;
* The waving branch telleth
* Of pleasures so cheery;
* And where the heart dreameth
* 'Neath midnight sun's ray.
* And love scarcely deemeth,
* 'Mid song and 'mid play.
* How long was the way.
* The fortunate blithe ones, they build amid rest,
* 'Mong moss-covered pine-trees, their peaceable nest.
* And tempest and fray, too,
* And care and its powers,
* They find not the way to
* The warderless towers.
* There joy needs no charming,
* But May-day's bright brand,
* And night to sleep calming
* With rose-tinted hand
* The tiny wee band.
* Thou fugitive soul on a far foreign strand,
* When seek'st thou again thine own dear fatherland?
* When each palm-tree beareth,
* In fatherworld growing,
* Thy calm faith prepareth
* In joy to be going.
* On lifted wings thither.
* As little birds hie.
* None shows the way whither
* Through wildering sky,
* Yet sure dost thou fly.
* From The Swedish of Runeberg.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 127/Issue 1635/Whithersoever

* WHITHERSOEVER.
* Whatever haps shall come to you and me.
* What sunshines and what shadows, what delights
* And what strange anguish, what long-during nights
* Of loneliness, and what sweet sympathy;
* What hours of vision when we seem to see
* Something of meaning round us, and what glooms,
* Sight-foiling, when an unstarr'd prospect dooms
* Our baffled souls to mere perplexity;
* Whate'er shall come, friend, yet will we not fear;
* For we will aye to our own selves be true —
* True to our higher selves all life-time through;
* Not murmuring creeds unvital, but agreed
* To search for truth, where'er the search shall lead.
* With "bosom franchis'd, and allegiance clear."
* J. W. Hales.
* Macmillan's Magazine.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 127/Issue 1637/Passage Birds

* PASSAGE BIRDS.
* So hot shine the sunbeams the Nile waters o'er,
* And palm-trees there give not a shadow more;
* Then longing for fatherland urges us forward,
* Our troops then forgather: To nor'ward, to nor'ward.
* And deep underfoot then we see like a grave
* The green-growing earth and the blue-coloured wave,
* Where fresh stir and tempest to each day is given,
* While we fare so free 'mid the cloudlets of heaven.
* Far off amid mountains, a meadow is there,
* Where lighteth our flock, where our bed we prepare.
* Our eggs in the chilly pole's regions we lay there,
* And hatch out our brood in the midnight sun's ray there.
* On our peaceful valley no fowlet can chance.
* The gold-wingéd elf-people hold there their dance;
* The green-mantled wood-nymphs at even are lurking.
* And dwarfs in the mountains the red gold are working.
* His stand on the mountains Vindevale's son takes;
* His snow-covered wings with an uproar he shakes.
* Hares whiten; the quicken with berries is smothered;
* Our troops then forgather: To southward, to southward.
* To green-growing fields, to a temperate main,
* To shade-giving palm-trees our mind turns again.
* There rest we ourselves from our airy flight forward;
* There long we again for our world to the nor'ward.
* From The Swedish of Tegnér.
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/To Foreign Lands

TO FOREIGN LANDS.
I heard that you ask'd for something to prove this puzzle the New World, And to define America, her athletic Democracy, Therefore I send you my poems that you behold in them what you wanted.
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/To Thee Old Cause

TO THEE OLD CAUSE.
To thee old cause! Thou peerless, passionate, good cause, Thou stern, remorseless, sweet idea, Deathless throughout the ages, races, lands, After a strange sad war, great war for thee, (I think all war through time was really fought, and ever will be really fought, for thee,) These chants for thee, the eternal march of thee.
(A war O soldiers not for itself alone, Far, far more stood silently waiting behind, now to advance in this book.)
Thou orb of many orbs! Thou seething principle! thou well-kept, latent germ! thou centre! Around the idea of thee the war revolving, With all its angry and vehement play of causes, (With vast results to come for thrice a thousand years,) These recitatives for thee,—my book and the war are one, Merged in its spirit I and mine, as the contest hinged on thee, As a wheel on its axis turns, this book unwitting to itself, Around the idea of thee.
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/To a Historian

TO A HISTORIAN.
You who celebrate bygones, Who have explored the outward, the surfaces of the races, the life that has exhibited itself, Who have treated of man as the creature of politics, aggregates, rulers and priests, I, habitan of the Alleghanies, treating of him as he is in himself in his own rights, Pressing the pulse of the life that has seldom exhibited itself, (the great pride of man in himself,) Chanter of Personality, outlining what is yet to be, I project the history of the future.
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/To You

TO YOU.
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/To a Certain Cantatrice

TO A CERTAIN CANTATRICE.
Here, take this gift, I was reserving it for some hero, speaker, or general, One who should serve the good old cause, the great idea, the progress and freedom of the race, Some brave confronter of despots, some daring rebel; But I see that what I was reserving belongs to you just as much as to any.
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/When I Read the Book

WHEN I READ THE BOOK.
When I read the book, the biography famous, And is this then (said I) what the author calls a man's life? And so will some one when I am dead and gone write my life? (As if any man really knew aught of my life, Why even I myself I often think know little or nothing of my real life, Only a few hints, a few diffused faint clews and indirections I seek for my own use to trace out here.)
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/The Ship Starting

THE SHIP STARTING.
Lo, the unbounded sea, On its breast a ship starting, spreading all sails, carrying even her moonsails, The pennant is flying aloft as she speeds she speeds so stately—below emulous waves press forward, They surround the ship with shining curving motions and foam.
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/Thou Reader

THOU READER.
Thou reader throbbest life and pride and love the same as I, Therefore for thee the following chants.
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/To The States

TO THE STATES.
To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty.
# Leaves of Grass (1882)/Inscriptions/What Place is Besieged?

WHAT PLACE IS BESIEGED?
What place is besieged, and vainly tries to raise the siege? Lo, I send to that place a commander, swift, brave, immortal, And with him horse and foot, and parks of artillery, And artillery-men, the deadliest that ever fired gun.
# Mason v. Gamble/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
62 U.S. 390
Mason v. Gamble
A motion has been made to dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction, upon the ground that the sum in dispute does not exceed $2,000.
The case is this: The plaintiff in error is the collector of the port of Baltimore, and, as such, demanded a certain amount of duties on goods imported by the defendants in error, which they believed was greater than the amount imposed by law. The duties demanded were paid under protest, and this suit was brought to recover back the amount alleged to be overpaid. At the trial, the jury, under the instruction of the court, found a verdict in favor of the defendants in error for the sum of $193.88, upon which a judgment was entered against the collector; and this writ of error is brought on that judgment.
The act of Congress which is supposed to give jurisdiction in cases of this description is the act of May 31st, 1844, (5 Stat., 658.) This act authorizes a writ of error, at the instance of either party, upon a final judgment in a Circuit Court in any civil action brought by the United States for the enforcement of the revenue laws, or for the collection of duties due or alleged to be due, without regard to the sum or value in controversy. And it is true, that the same reasons which induced the Legislature to give the writ of error in the cases mentioned in the law, apply with equal force to suits against a collector to recover back duties which he alleged to be due, and had already collected. The questions are of the same character, and the interests of the United States the same in either case. And it is most probable that suits against the collector were omitted in the act of Congress by some oversight or accident.
But, however that may be, the writ of error is authorized in those cases only in which the United States are plaintiffs in the suit. The language of the law is too plain to admit of doubt, and the words cannot be any reasonable or fair construction be extended to suits brought by the importer against the collector; and as the sum or value in controversy does not exceed $2,000, and the case is not provided for by the act of Congress referred to, the writ must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction in this court.

* LINES TO A TEACUP
* Dear little teacup,
* Oh! my rare wee cup,
* Work of Celestials! you must be divine;
* Tea no one drank in
* Porcelain of Nankin
* So fit to rank in
* Richer ceramic collections than mine.
* Those curious blue marks,
* Not sham,. but true marks,
* Prove you are nearly five centuries old;
* In your young beauty
* Perhaps you did brew tea
* For the King Chuty,
* Robed, like the sun, in a mantle of gold.
* Where is his charmer?
* Who would dare harm her,
* She who ruled over the ruler of men?
* But in the places
* Which knew her graces
* She left no traces,
* They have forgotten their fair denizen.
* She was not brittle,
* Frail perhaps a little,
* Why is she missing, and you here to-day?
* Say by what token
* You are unbroken?
* Patent to no ken
* Is the distinction, for both are of clay.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 135/Issue 1742/October

* OCTOBER.
* Edges of stormy dawn and murky night
* Trespassing harshly on his mellow hours,
* October plucks the present while it flowers,
* And revels as a splendid Sybarite.
* What tho' his noontide wear the yellow light
* Of sunset, hinting of the doom that lowers, —
* He recks not; now astride the west wind scours
* Blue steppes of air; now, languid with delight,
* Reclines in violet haze; flings silver rime
* To the gossamer, bead-coral to the thorns,
* And showers on tree and fern his ruddy gold.
* But as pards couch until the herded horns
* Slant valewards, winter lets him pass his prime,
* Then springs, and hales him to the caves of cold.
* Spectator.Henry G. Hewlett.
