# The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ/Chapter 43

Jesus and Ashbina visit Babylon and remark its desolation. The two masters remain in company seven days; then Jesus resumes his homeward journey. Arrives in Nazareth. His mother gives a feast in his honour. His brothers are displeased. Jesus tells his mother and aunt the story of his journeys.
1. The ruined Babylon was near, and Jesus and the sage went through her gates and walked among her fallen palaces.
2. They trod the streets where Israel once was held in base captivity.
3. They saw where Judah's sons and daughters hung their harps upon the willows, and refused to sing.
4. They saw where Daniel and the Hebrew children stood as living witnesses of faith.
5. And Jesus lifted up his hand and said, Behold the grandeur of the works of man!
6. The king of Babylon destroyed the temple of the Lord in old Jerusalem; he burned the holy city, bound in chains my people and my kin, and brought them here as slaves.
7. But retribution comes; for whatsoever men shall do to other men the righteous Judge will do to them.
8. The sun of Babylon has gone down; the songs of pleasure will be heard no more within her walls.
9. And every kind of creeping thing and unclean bird will, in these ruins, find their homes.
10. And in the temple Belus, Jesus and Ashbina stood in silent thought.
11. Then Jesus spoke and said, Behold this monument of folly and of shame.
12. Man tried to shake the very throne of God, and he assayed to build a tower to reach to heaven, when, lo, his very speech was snatched away, because in lofty words he boasted of his power.
13. And on these heights the heathen Baal stood--the god wrought out by hands of man.
14. Upon yon altar, birds, and beasts, and men, yea children have been burned in awful sacrifice to Baal.
15. But now the gory priests are dead; the very rocks have shuddered and have fallen down; the place is desolate.
16. Now, in the plains of Shinar Jesus tarried yet for seven days, and, with Ashbina, meditated long upon the needs of men, and how the sages could best serve the coming age.
17. Then Jesus went his way, and after many days he crossed the Jordan to his native land. At once he sought his home in Nazareth.
18. His mother's heart was filled with joy; she made a feast for him, inviting all her kindred and her friends.
19. But Jesus' brothers were not pleased that such attention should be paid to one they deemed a sheer adventurer, and they went not in to the feast.
20. They laughed their brother's claims to scorn; they called him indolent, ambitious, vain; a worthless fortune hunter; searcher of the world for fame, who, after many years returns to mother's home with neither gold, nor any other wealth.
21. And Jesus called aside his mother and her sister, Miriam, and told them of his journey to the East.
22. He told them of the lessons he had learned, and of the works that he had done. To others he told not the story of his life.

WIND THE CLOCK.
Warden, wind the clock again; Mighty years are going on, Through the shadow and the dream, And the happy-hearted dawn. Wind again, wind again,— Fifty hundred years are gone.
Through the harvest and the need, Wealthy June and dewy May, Grew the year from the old, Grows to-morrow from to-day. Wind again, wind again,— Who can keep the years at bay?
Four-and-twenty conjurers Lie in wait on land and sea, Plucking down the startled ship, Bud-embroidering the tree. Wind again, wind again,— We have neither ship nor tree.
Four-and-twenty kings to come Up the never-vacant stair,— Four-and-twenty dead go down; Follow, sacred song and prayer. Wind again, wind again,— Warden, why delaying there?
To his interrupted dream Comes the long-entreated day. What are lesser words to him? Sweet pursuing voices say,— "Warden, wind, wind again, Up the ever-golden way."
Other hands will wind the clock While the frequent years go on, Never noting need or name Nor the rapture of the dawn. Wind again, wind again, Ere the given year be gone.

# The Ascent of Man/Poem 49

XVIII.
Oh, brown Eyes with long black lashes, Young brown Eyes, Depths of night from which there flashes Lightning as of summer skies, Beautiful brown Eyes!
In your veiled mysterious splendour Passion lies Sleeping, but with sudden tender Dreams that fill with vague surmise Beautiful brown Eyes.
All my soul, with yearning shaken,
Asks in sighs—
Who will see your heart awaken,
Love's divine sunrise
In those young brown Eyes?
# The Ascent of Man/Poem 48

XVII.
Your looks have touched my soul with bright Ineffable emotion; As moonbeams on a stormy night Illume with transitory light A seagull on her lonely flight Across the lonely ocean.
Fluttering from out the gloom and roar, On fitful wing she flies, Moon-white above the moon-washed shore; Then, drowned in darkness as before, She's lost, as I when lit no more By your beloved eyes.
# The Ascent of Man/Poem 51

XX.
What magic is there in thy mien, What sorcery in thy smile, Which charms away all cark and care, Which turns the foul days into fair, And for a little while Changes this disenchanted scene From the sere leaf into the green, Transmuting with love's golden wand This beggared life to fairyland?
My heart goes forth to thee, oh friend, As some poor pilgrim to a shrine, A pilgrim who has come from far
To seek his spirit's folding star, And sees the taper shine; The goal to which his wanderings tend, Where want and weariness shall end, And kneels ecstatically blest Because his heart hath entered rest
# The Ascent of Man/Poem 52

HEARTS-EASE.
As opiates to the sick on wakeful nights, As light to flowers, as flowers in poor men's rooms, As to the fisher when the tempest glooms The cheerful twinkling of his village lights; As emerald isles to flagging swallow flights, As roses garlanding with tendrilled blooms The unweeded hillocks of forgotten tombs, As singing birds on cypress-shadowed heights,
Thou art to me—a comfort past compare— For thy joy-kindling presence, sweet as May Sets all my nerves to music, makes away With sorrow and the numbing frost of care, Until the influence of thine eyes' bright sway Has made life's glass go up from foul to fair.
# The Ascent of Man/Poem 50

XIX.
Once on a golden day, In the golden month of May, I gave my heart away— Little birds were singing.
I culled my heart in truth, Wet with the dews of youth, For love to take, forsooth— Little flowers were springing.
Love sweetly laughed at this, And between kiss and kiss Fled with my heart in his: Winds warmly blowing.
And with his sun and shower Love kept my heart in flower, As in the greenest bower Rose richly glowing.
Till, worn at evensong, Love dropped my heart among Stones by the way ere long; Misprizèd token.
There in the wind and rain, Trampled and rent in twain, Ne'er to be whole again, My heart lies broken.
# The Ascent of Man/Poem 53

UNTIMELY LOVE.
Peace, throbbing heart, nor let us shed one tear O'er this late love's unseasonable glow; Sweet as a violet blooming in the snow, The posthumous offspring of the widowed year, That smells of March when all the world is sere, And, while around the hurtling sea-winds blow— Which twist the oak and lay the pine tree low— Stands childlike in the storm and has no fear.
Poor helpless blossom orphaned of the sun, How could it thus brave winter's rude estate? Oh love, more helpless love, why bloom so late, Now that the flower-time of the year is done? Since thy dear course must end when scarce begun, Nipped by the cold touch of untoward fate.
# The Ascent of Man/Poem 47

XVI.
Ah, if you knew how soon and late My eyes long for a sight of you, Sometimes in passing by my gate You'd linger until fall of dew, If you but knew!
Ah, if you knew how sick and sore My life flags for the want of you, Straightway you'd enter at the door And clasp my hand between your two, If you but knew!
Ah, if you knew how lost and lone I watch and weep and wait for you, You'd press my heart close to your own Till love had healed me through and through, If you but knew!
# The Ascent of Man/Poem 54

THE AFTER-GLOW.
It is a solemn evening, golden-clear— The Alpine summits flame with rose-lit snow And headlands purpling on wide seas below, And clouds and woods and arid rocks appear Dissolving in the sun's own atmosphere And vast circumference of light, whose slow Transfiguration—glow and after-glow— Turns twilight earth to a more luminous sphere.
Oh heart, I ask, seeing that the orb of day Has sunk below, yet left to sky and sea His glory's spiritual after-shine: I ask if Love, whose sun hath set for thee, May not touch grief with his memorial ray, And lend to loss itself a joy divine?
# The Ascent of Man/Poem 55

L'ENVOI.
Thou art the goal for which my spirit longs; As dove on dove, Bound for one home, I send thee all my songs With all my love.
Thou art the haven with fair harbour lights; Safe locked in thee, My heart would anchor after stormful nights Alone at sea.
Thou art the rest of which my life is fain, The perfect peace; Absorbed in thee the world, with all its pain And toil, would cease.
Thou art the heaven to which my soul would go! O dearest eyes, Lost in your light you would turn hell below To Paradise.
Thou all in all for which my heart-blood yearns! Yea, near or far— Where the unfathomed ether throbs and burns With star on star,
Or where, enkindled by the fires of June, The fresh earth glows, Blushing beneath the mystical white moon Through rose on rose—
Thee, thee I see, thee feel in all live things, Beloved one; In the first bird which tremulously sings Ere peep of sun;
In the last nestling orphaned in the hedge, Rocked to and fro, When dying summer shudders in the sedge, And swallows go;
When roaring snows rush down the mountain-pass, March floods with rills, Or April lightens through the living grass In daffodils;
When poppied cornfields simmer in the heat With tare and thistle, And, like winged clouds above the mellow wheat, The starlings whistle;
When stained with sunset the wide moorlands glare In the wild weather, And clouds with flaming craters smoke and flare Red o'er red heather:
When the bent moon, on frostbound midnights waking,
Leans to the snow
Like some world-mother whose deep heart is breaking
O'er human woe.   As the round sun rolls red into the ocean,
Till all the sea
Glows fluid gold, even so life's mazy motion
Is dyed with thee:   For as the wave-like years subside and roll,
O heart's desire,
Thy soul glows interfused within my soul,
A quenchless fire.   Yea, thee I feel, all storms of life above,
Near though afar;
O thou my glorious morning star of love,
And evening star.

Featured in Volume 17, Number 99 of The Atlantic Monthly. (January 1866)
THE BELLS OF LYNN, HEARD AT NAHANT.
O curfew of the setting sun! O Bells of Lynn! O requiem of the dying day! O Bells of Lynn!
From the dark belfries of yon cloud-cathedral wafted, Your sounds aërial seem to float, O Bells of Lynn!
Borne on the evening wind across the crimson twilight, O'er land and sea they rise and fall, O Bells of Lynn!
The fisherman in his boat, far out beyond the headland, Listens, and leisurely rows ashore, O Bells of Lynn!
Over the shining sands the wandering cattle homeward Follow each other at your call, O Bells of Lynn!
The distant lighthouse hears, and with his flaming signal Answers you, passing the watchword on, O Bells of Lynn!
And down the darkening coast run the tumultuous surges, And clap their hands, and shout to you, O Bells of Lynn!
Till from the shuddering sea, with your wild incantations, Ye summon up the spectral moon, O Bells of Lynn!
And startled at the sight, like the weird woman of Endor, Ye cry aloud, and then are still, O Bells of Lynn!

​AMBAUEN, Andrew Joseph, R.C. priest, was born at Beckenried, canton of Unterwalden, Switzerland, March 7, 1847; son of Michael and Barbara (Zimmerman) Ambauen. He studied at the Seminary of Mentz, Hesse Darmstadt, and at the Archiepiscopal provincial seminary, Milwaukee, Wis., and was ordained priest in 1872. He engaged in mission work and was rector at Dodgeville, Wis., from 1886. He is the author of: "The Devout Companion" (1887); "Our Christian Duties" (1887); "The Floral Apostles" (1892); and in German "The Friend of Youth" (1892); "Roses of Heaven" (1894); and "Guide to Our Celestial Home" (1895).
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Altham, George J.

​ALTHAM, George J., inventor, was born in Fall River, Mass., May 27, 1863; son of Jonas and Mary (Hargrave) Altham. His parents were of English birth, his father having come to America to establish a factory in Fall River. When the son was about six years old his father took him to England, where he was sent to school. He finished his common-school education at Swansea, Mass. He first turned his attention to aerial navigation, making at his father's farm in Swansea, Mass., experiments in aerostation with a view of testing what angle of aeroplane gave the greatest lifting power. To prove this he rigged a machine somewhat like a common derrick, with the arm nearly horizontal. This arm he caused to rotate, and on it was placed an aeroplane set at different angles, with a finely adjusted spring balance, that would register the sustaining or floating capacity of the same at the different angles. Mr. Altham by his experiments discovered the simple law in aerostatics that a forward velocity to a moving body in the air is the most important principle in aerial navigation. He then invented a double cylinder engine in which reciprocal motion was converted into rotary motion, and constructed on this principle a model of a new marine engine, which he patented. About 1892 he experimented in a steam turbine to overcome the heat in the bearings caused by increase in speed. He exhibited the result at the Massachusetts charitable mechanics association in 1895, and was ​awarded the silver medal. In 1896 he perfected his hydrocarbon motor, which was pronounced practicable for use in a motor carriage. Mr. Altham made experiments with Mexican asphalt, mixing it with peat and producing a fuel which would not "run," and which was superior to cannel coal in quick combustion and heat-giving properties. "The Altham fuel" was tried in February, 1896, in fire engines in Boston and other cities, and was highly successful.

His maternal ancestor, Abram Jacob Lansing, left Holland in 1630, and located at Fort Orange. He became the patroon of a large grant of land which he called Lansingburgh. His paternal grandfather, Thomas Gold Alvord, was a soldier in the French and Indian war of 1756, and also served in the Revolutionary war, as did his maternal grandfather. His father removed immediately after his marriage to Onondaga county. He returned to Lansingburgh in 1813, and there young Alvord received his preparatory education at the academy. At the early age of fifteen he entered Yale college, where he was graduated at 1828.

# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Alvarado, Jean Bautista

​ALVARADO, Jean Bautista, governor of California. He led a revolt against the authority of Mexico. On the death of Governor Figueroa in 1835, an extremely unpopular man named Chico was put in authority by the Mexican government. Public opinion obliged him to surrender his office, and in November, 1836, Alvarado seized Monterey and held that city with a force consisting of native Californians and adventurers from the United States. Independence was declared, a legislature assembled, and Alvarado was elected as governor ad interim. For a time Lower California remained loyal to the Mexican rule, but it was not long before Alvarado, by shrewd diplomacy and by the display of force, won Santa Barbara and Los Angeles to himself. He declared, therefore, in January, 1837, that the whole of California was united, free, and independent. An emissary of the Mexican government was sent to treat with Alvarado, whose diplomacy converted him to the Californian view and he was sent back as a friend of the new government. To end this indeterminate state of affairs, the Mexican government appointed a governor without acquainting Alvarado of its action. Hostilities ensued, an engagement was fought in which one man was killed and the Mexicans were defeated. He was recognized as governor of what was called the "Department of California" by the central government 1840-'2, when he was deposed by the Mexican government. The conquest of California by the United States put an end to all attempts at revolution and ended the career of Alvarado.
