# The Voice of the Valley/Introduction

Ever since my first visit to the Yosemite Valley, nearly thirty years ago, I have believed that no verbal description can give the reader an adequate idea of its marvelous and manifold features; that the ordinary forms of verse cannot compass it; that at most the poet can only suggest; and that, after all, the mere suggestion is sufficient—the imagination supplying what is lacking in form, color, and detail. But the suggestion must be offered by one singularly gifted, and possessed of a temperament as picturesque, as variable, as unique as the Valley itself.
​He must also be a word-builder, if he would conjure the echoes from that valley of the shadow, where heaven and earth meet, where there is no horizon save the cloud-rack and the storm.
When I heard that Yone Noguchi was in the Yosemite with his exalted muse, it seemed to me that this unconventional child of nature, this boy whose heart and soul lie naked and bare, must strike a chord that all the voices of nature shall respond to—and for these reasons:—
Noguchi is a word-builder of startling originality and power; inspired by the charming audacity of innocence, he is unfaltering in his flights; the sensuous imagination of the Oriental has lost nothing of its fire and splendor, though the new medium of expression is the most literal English that ever was uttered: his lines are charged with primitive eloquence; ​his is the spontaneous song of a heart that is overflowing with melody—of a soul that would set all the world to music. There are passages in his poems as lofty and abrupt as the precipitous walls of the Valley he adores; there are shadows, also, where the imagery is vague—as imagery should be where overshadowed; there are heights dazzling with frost and sunshine; and over all is the fathomless and alluring sky, into which he soars like that aspiring soul of song that rests not this side the Gate of Heaven.
If he is sometimes obscure, it is because he has flown into cloud-land, where obscurity is a virtue; haunted by a memory of Yosemite, an occasional extravagance is surely permissible.
With the passionate enthusiasm of youth, this unspoiled poet has fluttered the eagles on their star-crowned peaks, ​and I glory in the almost frenzied daring with which he has chanted The Song of Songs which is Noguchi's!

# The seven great hymns of the mediaeval church/Dies Iræ/Irons

1.
DAY of Wrath! O Day of mourning!
See! once more the Cross returning,
Heav'n and earth in ashes burning!
2.
O what fear man's bosom rendeth,
When from Heav'n the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth!
3.
Wondrous sound the Trumpet flingeth,
Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth!
4.
Death is struck, and nature quaking,
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making!
5.
Lo, the Book, exactly worded!
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
6.
When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unaveng'd remaineth.
7.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading,
Who for me be interceding,
When the just are mercy needing?
8.
King of majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity! then befriend us!
9.
Think! Kind Jesu, my salvation
Caus'd Thy wondrous Incarnation;
Leave me not to reprobation!
10.
Faint and weary Thou hast sought me,
On the Cross of suffering bought me;
Shall such grace be vainly brought me!
11.
Righteous Judge of retribution,
Grant Thy gift of absolution,
Ere that reck'ning day's conclusion!
12.
Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning;
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant, groaning!
13.
Thou, the sinful woman savest,
Thou, the dying thief forgavest;
And to me a hope vouchsafest!
14.
Worthless are my pray'rs and sighing,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying!
15.
With Thy favor'd sheep, O place me!
Nor among the goats abase me;
But to Thy right hand upraise me.
16.
While the wicked are confounded,
Doom'd to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me! with Thy saints surrounded.
17.
Low I kneel, with heart submission;
See, like ashes, my contrition;
Help me, in my last condition!
18.
Ah! that Day of tears and mourning!
From the dust of earth returning,
Man for judgment must prepare him;
Spare! O God, in mercy, spare him!
Lord, who didst our souls redeem,
Grant a blessed Requiem! Amen.

II.
GENERAL DIX.
That day, a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers!—Zephaniah, i. 15, 16.
1.
DAY of vengeance, without morrow!
Earth sall end in flame and sorrow,
As from Saint and Seer we borrow.
2.
Ah! what terror is impending,
When the Judge is seen descending,
And each secret veil is rending.
3.
To the throne, the trumpet sounding,
Through the sepulchres resounding,
Summons all, with voice astounding.
4.
Death and Nature, mazed, are quaking,
When, the grave's long slumber breaking,
Man to judgment is awaking.
5.
On the written Volume's pages,
Life is shown in all its stages—
Judgment-record of past ages!
6.
Sits the Judge, the raised arraigning,
Darkest mysteries explaining,
Nothing unavenged remaining.
7.
What shall I then say, unfriended,
By no advocate attended,
When the just are scarce defended?
8.
King of majesty tremendous,
By Thy saving grace defend us,
Fount of pity, safety send us!
9.
Holy Jesus, meek, forbearing,
For my sins the death-crown wearing,
Save me, in that day, despairing.
10.
Worn and weary, Thou hast fought me;
By Thy cross and passion bought me—
Spare the hope Thy labors brought me.
11.
Righteous Judge of retribution,
Give, O give me absolution
Ere the day of dissolution.
12.
As a guilty culprit groaning,
Flushed my face, my errors owning,
Hear, O God, my spirit's moaning!
13.
Thou to Mary gav'st remission,
Heard'st the dying thief's petition,
Bad'st me hope in my contrition.
14.
In my prayers no grace discerning,
Yet on me Thy favor turning,
Save my soul from endless burning.
15.
Give me, when Thy sheep confiding
Thou art from the goats dividing,
On Thy right a place abiding!
16.
When the wicked are confounded,
And by bitter flames surrounded,
Be my joyful pardon founded!
17.
Prostrate, all my guilt discerning,
Heart as though to ashes turning;
Save, O save me from the burning!
18.
Day of weeping, when from ashes
Man shall rise mid lightning flames,
Guilty, trembling with contrition,
Save him, Father, from perdition!
# The sea monster that came ashore on the Florida coast

* information about this edition.
* related portals: St. Augustine Monster.
Published in the Pennsylvania Grit, December 13, 1896.
THE SEA MONSTER THAT CAME ASHORE ON THE FLORIDA COAST.
The head is as large as an ordinary flour barrel, and has the shape of a sea lion head. The neck, if the creature may be said to have a neck, is of the same diameter as the body. The mouth is on the under side of the head and is protected by two tentacle tubes about eight inches in diameter and about 30 feet long. These tubes resemble an elephant's trunk and obviously were used to clutch in a sucker like fashion any object within their reach.
Another tube or tentacle of the same dimensions stands out on the top of the head. Two others, one on each side, protrude from beyond the monster's neck, and extend fully 15 feet along the body and beyond the tail. The tail, which is separated and jagged with cutting points for several feet, is flanked with two more tentacles of the same dimensions as the others and 30 feet long. The eyes are under the back of the mouth instead of over it.
This specimen is so badly cut up by sharks and sawfish that only the stumps of the tentacles remain, but pieces of them were found strewn for some distance on the beach, showing that the animal had a fierce battle with its foes before it was disabled and beached by the surf.

# The seven great hymns of the mediaeval church/Dies Iræ/Coles

1.
DAY of wrath, that day of burning,
Seer and sibyl speak concerning,
All the world to ashes turning.
2.
Oh, what fear shall it engender,
When the Judge shall come in splendor,
Strict to mark and just to render.
3.
Trumpet scattering sounds of wonder,
Rending sepulchres asunder,
Shall resistless summons thunder.
4.
All aghast then Death shall shiver,
And great Nature's frame shall quiver,
When the graves their dead deliver.
5.
Book where actions are recorded,
All the ages have afforded
Shall be brought, and dooms awarded.
6.
When shall sit the Judge unerring,
He'll unfold all here occurring,
No just vengeance then deferring.
7.
What shall I say, that time pending?
Ask what advocate's befriending,
When the just man needs defending?
8.
Dreadful King, all power possessing,
Saving freely those confessing,
Save Thou me, O Fount of Blessing!
9.
Think, O Jesus, for what reason
Thou didst bear earth's spite and treason,
Nor me lose in that dread season!
10.
Seeking me Thy worn feet hasted, On the cross Thy foul death tasted
Let such travail not be wasted!
11.
Righteous Judge of retribution!
Make me gift of absolution
Ere that day of execution!
12.
Culprit-like I plead, heart-broken,
On my cheek shame's crimson token:
Let the pardoning word be spoken!
13.
Thou who Mary gav'st remission,
Heard'st the dying thief's petition,
Cheer'st with hope my lost condition,
14.
Though my prayers be void of merit, What is needful, Thou confer it,
Lest I endless fire inherit!
15.
Be there, Lord, my place decided
With Thy sheep, from goats divided,
Kindly to Thy right hand guided!
16.
When th' accursed away are driven,
To eternal burnings given,
Call me with the blessed to heaven!
17.
I beseech Thee, prostrate lying,
Heart as ashes, contrite, sighing,
Care for me when I am dying!
18.
Day of tears and late repentance,
Man shall rise to hear his sentence:
Him, the child of guilt and error,
Spare, Lord, in that hour of terror!
# The seven great hymns of the mediaeval church/Dies Iræ/Crashaw

1.
HEAR'ST thou, my soul, what serious things
Both the Psalm and Sibyl sings
Of a sure Judge, from whose sharp ray
The world in flames shall fly away!
2.
O that Fire! before whose face
Heaven and earth shall find no place:
O those Eyes! whose angry light
Must be the day of that dread night.
3.
O that Trump! whose blast shall run
An even round with th' circling Sun,
And urge the murmuring graves to bring
Pale mankind forth to meet his King.
4.
Horror of Nature, Hell, and Death!
When a deep groan from beneath
Shall cry, "We come, we come!" and all
The caves of night answer one call.
5.
O that book! whose leaves so bright
Will set the world in severe light.
O that Judge! whose hand, whose eye
None can endure, yet none can fly.
6.
Ah then, poor soul! what wilt thou say?
And to what patron choose to pray,
When stars themselves shall stagger, and
The most firm foot no more shall stand?
7.
But Thou giv'st leave, dread Lord, that we
Take shelter from Thyself in Thee;
And with the wings of Thine own dove
Fly to Thy sceptre of soft love!
8.
Dear [Lord], remember in that day
Who was the cause Thou cam'st this way;
Thy sheep was strayed, and Thou wouldst be
Even lost Thyself in seeking me!
9.
Shall all that labor, all that cost
Of love, and even that loss, be lost?
And this loved soul judged worth no less
Than all that way and weariness?
10.
Just Mercy, then, Thy reckoning be With my price, and not with me;
'Twas paid at first with too much pain
To be paid twice, or once in vain.
11.
Mercy, my Judge, mercy I cry,
With blushing cheek and bleeding eye; The conscious colors of my sin
Are red without, and pale within.
12.
O let Thine own soft bowels pay
Thyself, and so discharge that day!
If Sin can sigh, Love can forgive,
O, say the word, my soul shall live!
13.
Those mercies which Thy Mary found,
Or who Thy cross confess'd and crowned,
Hope tells my heart the same loves be
Still alive, and still for me.
14.
Though both my prayers and tears combine,
Both worthless are, for they are mine;
But Thou Thy bounteous self still be,
And show Thou art by saving me.
15.
O when Thy last frown shall proclaim
The flocks of goats to folds of flame,
And all Thy lost sheep found shall be,
Let "Come ye blessed" then call me!
16.
When the dread “ITE” shall divide
Those limbs of death from Thy left side,
Let those life-speaking lips command
That I inherit Thy right hand!
17.
O, hear a suppliant heart all crush'd,
And crumbled into contrite dust!
My hope, my fear—my Judge, my Friend!
Take charge of me, and of my end!
# The seven great hymns of the mediaeval church/Appendix

APPENDIX
The concluding lines of the extract given at page 4, are in the original:
"Si tua nuncia prævenit uncia, surge, fequaris; Expete limina, nulla gravamina jam verearis.
Si datur uncia, stat prope gratia Pontificalis;
Sin procul hæc valet, hæc tibi lex manet est schola talis."
The ninth and tenth stanzas of the Stabat Mater are more literally rendered in the following than in the version of Lord Lindsay. They also show the inability of the English double rhyme to express the pathos which inverts the Latin.
"Let me with His stripes be rended; Let me by His blood be cleansed— Looking to the Crucified.
Then, O Virgin, by thee lighted,
Wakened, warmed, aroused, excited,
For the judgment sactified.
"Let me by the Cross directed,
By the death of Christ protected, See below His glory far.
Then, this body mouldering, riven—
Then be to my spirit given Paradisi Gloria!"
