​HARMONIC STOPS are organ stops, the upper pipes of which do not produce the sound that would be expected, having regard to their ​length, but the octave to that sound. They have been known in Germany for nearly two hundred years. The 'violoncello, 8 feet pitch' on the Pedal organ at Weingarten, made in the first half of last century, is in reality 16 feet in length, of tin, and 3½ inches in diameter.

From volume 2 of the work.
​NIEMANN, Albert, one of the most famous living tenors of Germany, was born Jan. 15, 1831, at Erxleben, Magdeburg, where his father kept an hotel. He was placed, when 17 years old, in a machine factory, but want of means prevented his remaining there, and he went on the stage at Dessau in 1849, first as an actor of small parts, and afterwards as a chorus singer. Here the Hofkapellmeister Friedrich Schneider discovered his musical talent, and gave him some instruction. A baritone singer named Nusch taught him singing, and with such success that Niemann soon obtained engagements at Halle and other small theatres. He thus came under the notice of Herr von Hülsen, General Intendant of the German royal theatres, who called him to Berlin, and gave him the means of further improvement. He afterwards played at Stuttgardt and Königsberg, and through the kindness of the King of Hanover was sent to Paris to study under Duprez. On his return he joined the company at Hanover, and afterwards went to Berlin, where he is engaged at the present time, having been created 'Kammersanger' to the Emperor. In Germany he has for a long time past enjoyed a great reputation, especially in 'heroic parts,' for which his handsome person and powerful voice eminently fit him. He has played the parts of the Wagner heroes, also Cortez, Joseph, Raoul, John of Leyden, Arnold, George Brown (La Dame Blanche) and Chapelon (Postilion); and was selected by Wagner to play Siegmund in 'Die Walküre,' at Bayreuth in 1876.

# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Big Rug

THE BIG RUG
That so many of the poor should suffer from cold what can we do to prevent?
To bring warmth to a single body is not much use. I wish I had a big rug ten thousand feet long,
Which at one time could cover up every inch of the City.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Dragon of the Black Pool

THE DRAGON OF THE BLACK POOL
A Satire
Deep the waters of the Black Pool, coloured like ink;
They say a Holy Dragon lives there, whom men have never seen. Beside the Pool they have built a shrine; the authorities have established a ritual; A dragon by itself remains a dragon, but men can make it a god. Prosperity and disaster, rain and drought, plagues and pestilences —
By the village people were all regarded as the Sacred Dragon's doing. They all made offerings of sucking-pig and poured libations of wine; The morning prayers and evening gifts depended on a "medium's" advice.
When the dragon comes, ah! The wind stirs and sighs
Paper money thrown, ah! Silk umbrellas waved. When the dragon goes, ah! The wind also — still. Incense-fire dies, ah! The cups and vessels are cold.
Meats lie stacked on the rocks of the Pool's shore; Wine flows on the grass in front of the shrine. I do not know, of all those offerings, how much the Dragon eats;
But the mice of the woods and the foxes of the hills are continually drunk and sated.
Why are the foxes so lucky? What have the sucking-pigs done, That year by year they should be killed, merely to glut the foxes? That the foxes are robbing the Sacred Dragon and eating His sucking-pig. Beneath the nine-fold depths of His pool, does He know or not?
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Ferry

THE FERRY
By the Emperor Ch'ien Wēn-ti, of the Liang dynasty, who reigned during the year A. D. 500.
Of marsh-mallows my boat is made, The ropes are lily-roots. The pole-star is athwart the sky:
The moon sinks low.
It's at the ferry I'm plucking lilies, But it might be the Yellow River —
So afraid you seem of the wind and waves, So long you tarry at the crossing.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Campaign against Wu

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST WU
TWO POEMS
By Wei Wēn-ti [A. D. 188–227]
[1]
My charioteer hastens to yoke my carriage,
For I must go on a journey far away.
"Where are you going on your journey far away?"
To the land of Wu where my enemies are.
But I must ride many thousand miles, Beyond the Eastern Road that leads to Wu.
Between the rivers bitter winds blow,
Swiftly flow the waters of Huai and Ssŭ.
I want to take a skiff and cross these rivers,
But alas for me, where shall I find a boat?
To sit idle is not my desire:
Gladly enough would I go to my country's aid.
[2]
[He abandons the campaign]
In the North-west there is a floating cloud
Stretched on high, like a chariot's canvas-awning.
Alas that I was born in these times, To be blown along like a cloud puffed by the wind!
It has blown me away far to the South-east,
On and on till I came to Wu-hui.
Wu-hui is not my country:
Why should I go on staying and staying here?
I will give it up and never speak of it again,—
This being abroad and always living in dread.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Chancellor's Gravel-drive

THE CHANCELLOR'S GRAVEL-DRIVE
[A Satire on the Maltreatment of Subordinates]
A Government-bull yoked to a Government-cart! Moored by the bank of Ch'an River, a barge loaded with gravel. A single load of gravel,
How many pounds it weighs! Carrying at dawn, carrying at dusk, what is it all for? They are carrying it towards the Five Gates,
To the West of the Main Road. Under the shadow of green laurels they are making a gravel-drive. For yesterday arrove, newly appointed. The Assistant Chancellor of the Realm,
And was terribly afraid that the wet and mud
Would dirty his horse's hoofs. The Chancellor's horse's hoofs
Stepped on the gravel and remained perfectly clean;
But the bull employed in dragging the cart
Was almost sweating blood. The Assistant Chancellor's business
Is to "save men, govern the country
And harmonize Yin and Yang." Whether the bull's neck is sore
Need not trouble him at all.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Charcoal-seller

[A Satire against "Kommandatur"]
An old charcoal-seller
Cutting wood and burning charcoal in the forest of the Southern Mountain. His face, stained with dust and ashes, has turned to the colour of smoke. The hair on his temples is streaked with gray: his ten fingers are black. The money he gets by selling charcoal, how far does it go?
It is just enough to clothe his limbs and put food in his mouth. Although, alas, the coat on his back is a coat without lining. He hopes for the coming of cold weather, to send up the price of coal! Last night, outside the city,— a whole foot of Snow;
At dawn he drives the charcoal wagon along the frozen ruts. Oxen,— weary; man,— hungry: the sun, already high;
Outside the Gate, to the south of the Market, at last they stop in the mud. Suddenly, a pair of prancing horsemen. Who can it be coming? A public official in a yellow coat and a boy in a white shirt. In their hands they hold a written warrant: on their tongues — the words of an order;
They turn back the wagon and curse the oxen, leading them off to the north.
A whole wagon of charcoal,
More than a thousand pieces! If officials choose to take it away, the woodman may not complain. Half a piece of red silk and a single yard of damask,
The Courtiers have tied to the oxen's collar, as the price of a wagon of coal!
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Cock-fight

THE COCK-FIGHT
By Ts'ao Chih
Our wandering eyes are sated with the dancer's skill, Our ears are weary with the sound of "kung" and "shang." Our host is silent and sits doing nothing: All the guests go on to places of amusement. ········On long benches the sportsmen sit ranged Round a cleared room, watching the fighting-cocks. The gallant birds are all in battle-trim:
They raise their tails and flap defiantly.
Their beating wings stir the calm air:
Their angry eyes gleam with a red light. Where their beaks have struck, the fine feathers are scattered: With their strong talons they wound again and again.
Their long cries enter the blue clouds; Their flapping wings tirelessly beat and throb. "Pray God the lamp-oil lasts a little longer, Then I shall not leave without winning the match!"
