# Letters to Atticus/2.5

Translated by Evelyn Shuckburgh

## To Atticus at Rome
### Tusculum, April 59 BC

I wish very much, and have long wished, to visit Alexandria, and at the same time to get away from here, where people are tired of me, and return when they have begun to feel my loss—but at such a time and at the bidding of such statesmen! "I fear to face the men of Troy and Trojan matrons with their trailing robes." For what would my friends the Optimates say—if there are such persons left? That I had accepted a bribe to change my views? Polydamas the first would lay the charge. I mean my friend Cato, who is as good as a hundred thousand in my eyes. What, too, will history say of me six hundred years hence? I am much more afraid of that than of the petty gossip of the men of today. But, I think, I had better lie low and wait. For if it is really offered to me, I shall be to a certain extent in a position of advantage, and then will be the time to weigh the matter. There is, upon my word, a certain credit even in refusing. Wherefore, if Theophanes by chance has consulted you on the matter, do not absolutely decline. What I am expecting to hear from you is, what Arrius says, and how he endures being left in the lurch, and who are intended to be consuls—is it Pompey and Crassus, or, as I am told in a letter, Servius Sulpicius with Gabinius?—and whether there are any new laws or anything new at all; and, since Nepos is leaving Rome, who is to have the augurship—the one bait by which those personages could catch me! You see what a high price I put on myself! Why do I talk about such things, which I am eager to throw aside, and to devote myself heart and soul to philosophy. That, I tell you, is my intention. I could wish I had done so from the first. Now, however, that I have found by experience the hollowness of what I thought so splendid, I am thinking of doing business exclusively with the Muses. In spite of that, please give me in your next some more definite information about Curtius and who is intended to fill his place, and what is doing about P. Clodius, and, in fact, take your time and tell me everything as you promise; and pray write me word what day you think of leaving Rome, in order that I may tell you where I am likely to be and send me a letter at once on the subjects of which I have written to you. I look forward much to hearing from you.

## To Atticus at Rome
### Antium, April 59 BC

When I had been eagerly expecting a letter from you as usual till evening, lo and behold a message that slaves have come from Rome. I summon them: I ask if they have any letters. "No," say they. "What do you say," said I, "nothing from Pomponius?" Frightened to death by my voice and look, they confessed that they had received one, and that it had been lost on the journey. Need I say more? I was intensely annoyed. For no letter has come from you for the last few days without something in it important and entertaining. In these circumstances, if there was anything in the letter dated 15th April, worth telling, pray write at once, that I may not be left in ignorance; but if there was nothing but banter, repeat even that for my benefit. And let me inform you that young Curio has been to call on me. What he said about Publius agreed exactly with your letter. He himself, moreover, wonderfully "holds our proud kings in hate." He told me that the young men generally were equally incensed, and could not put up with the present state of things. If there is hope in them, we are in a good way. My opinion is that we should leave things to take their course. I am devoting myself to my memoir. However, though you may think me a Saufeius, I am really the laziest fellow in the world. But get into your head my several journeys, that.you may settle where you intend to come and see me. I intend to arrive at my Formian house on the Parilia (21st April). Next, since you think that at this time I ought to leave out luxurious Crater, on the 1st of May I leave Formiae, intending to reach Antium on the 3rd of May. For there are games at Antium from the 4th to the 6th of May, and Tullia wants to see them. Thence I think of going to Tusculum, thence to Arpinum, and be at Rome on the 1st of June. Be sure that we see you at Formiae or Antium, or at Tusculum. Rewrite your previous letter for me, and add something new.

* ↑ L. Saufeius, the Epicurean friend of Atticus (see Letter II). He seems to mean, "as indefatigable as Saufeius." But Prof. Tyrrell points out that it might mean, "at the risk of your thinking me a Epicurean and self-indulgent as Saufeius, I say," etc.

## To Atticus at Rome
### from the neighbourhood of Thurium, on the way to Brundisium, April 58 BC

I always thought that it was of great importance to me that you should be with me: but when I read the bill, then, indeed, I understood that there could be nothing more desirable for me than that you should overtake me as soon as possible, in order that, if after quitting Italy I should have to travel through Epirus, I might avail myself of your protection and that of your friends; or, if I had to adopt any other plan, I might come to some definite resolution in accordance with your opinion. Wherefore I beg you to do your best to overtake me promptly, which will be easier for you to do since the law about the province of Macedonia has now been passed. I would urge you at greater length were it not that with you facts speak for me.

## Footnotes

* ↑ One of Clodius's concessions to the consuls, to keep them quiet, was to get Macedonia assigned by a lex to L. Calpurnius Piso. As Atticus lived in what was practically part of the province, and had much business there, it was important to him to be on the spot, and try to influence the choice of a governor. That being over, he would not have so much to detain him in Rome.
# Manifest I of The Style 1918

From De Stijl, volume 2, number 1 (November 1918), p. 4.
​MANIFEST I OF „THE STYLE”, 1918.
1. There is an old and a new consciousness of time. The old is connected with the individual. The new is connected with the universal. The struggle of the individual against the universal is revealing itself in the world-war as well as in the art of the present day. 2. The war is destroying the old world with its contents: individual domination in every state. 3. The new art has brought forward what the new consciousness of time contains: a balance between the universal and the individual. 4. The new consciousness is prepared to realise the internal life as well as the external life. 5. Traditions, dogmas and the domination of the individual are opposed to this realisation. 6. The founders of the new plastic art therefore call upon all, who believe in the reformation of art and culture, to annihilate these obstacles of development, as they have annihilated in the new plastic art (by abolishing natural form) that, which prevents the clear expression of art, the utmost consequence of all art notion. 7. The artists of to-day have been driven the whole world over by the same consciousness, and therefore have taken part from an intellectual point of view in this war against the domination of individual despotism. They therefore sympathize with all, who work for the formation of an international unity in Life, Art, Culture, either intellectually or materially. 8. The monthly editions of „The Style”, founded for that purpose, try to attain the new wisdom of life in an exact manner. 9. Co-operation is possible by: I. Sending, with entire approval, name, address and profession to the editor of „The Style”. II. Sending critical philosophical, architectural, scientific, litterary, musical articles or reproductions. III. Translating articles in different languages or distributing thoughts published in „The Style”.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 125/Issue 1608/In Bondage

* IN BONDAGE.
* Dumb hearts that have not known Love's bliss or bane,
* Nor guessed what it may mean, yet yearning stand
* Touching the border of the unknown land.
* Hearing the silence stirred by that sweet strain
* Of which their sad and prisoned souls are fain;
* These, with wan faces, waiting the command,
* Whose sound shall never break upon that strand,
* Where, with the wind's breath, through the driven rain
* Come memories of a life that was not theirs;
* Vexed ghosts of hope, with cries unwearying,
* Chilled with the darkness of unanswered prayers.
* Worn with long watching through a youthless spring
* By love and light forgotten. Shall these come
* At last to God's peace and Love's perfect home?
* Good Words.C. Brooke.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 125/Issue 1608/Good-Night

* GOOD-NIGHT.
* If I could only lay me down to rest.
* Crossing my weary hands upon my breast,
* And shut my troubled eyes without a fear,
* Knowing that they would never open here —
* How blissful it must be, both worlds in sight,
* To say my tired good-night.
* If only, from the fretting cares of Time,
* To truths eternal I at once may climb,
* No longer count the graves whereon I tread,
* But in one moment be all comforted —
* If such could be, what joy, in upward flight,
* To sing my tired good-night.
* I watch the sweetest flowers throughout the morn,
* I look, and lo! at noontide they are gone;
* The wings of sorrow are forever spread;
* I weep, but weeping brings not back my dead.
* If God would but reveal the breaking light.
* How sweet to say good-night.
* This flooding tide of yearnings will not cease;
* I cannot reach to touch the lips of Peace;
* Nor can I gather to my sobbing heart
* The white-winged angels God has set apart,
* Yet haply I may find them all in sight
* After some tired good-night.
* What wonder, then, that I should long to rest,
* Crossing my weary hands upon my breast;
* To shut my troubled eyes without a fear,
* Knowing that they would never open here;
* To say to earth, with heaven alone in sight,
* My rapturous good-night.

* And hushes all her myriad insects' humming.
* I send a sign of love; the morning sends
* A rosy cloud, his mounted messenger;
* And the glad earth in ecstacy attends,
* Sure now her love himself will come to her.
* O fairer than the field, than the whole earth,
* Would that thy lover's coming in thy sight
* Were as the rain-cloud to a land of dearth.
* Were as the morning to a world of night!

* Still, as around the mouth in frost
* The warm breath rises up and flutters,
* Life lingers here — not wholly lost.

* To tell God that there yet is shining
* A soul-spark in that ruined lair.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 125/Issue 1608/Miscellany

​Interesting additions to our knowledge of the fauna of the Mammoth Cave have recently been made by Mr. F. W. Putnam, of Salem, U.S., who, as a special assistant on the Kentucky State Geological Survey, of which Prof. N. S. Shaler is the director, had great facilities extended by the proprietors of the cave, and he made a most thorough examination of its fauna, especially in relation to the aquatic animals. Mr. Putnam passed ten days in the cave, and by various contrivances succeeded in obtaining large collections. He was particularly fortunate in catching five specimens of a fish of which only one small individual had heretofore been known, and that was obtained several years ago from a well in Lebanon, Tennessee. This fish, which Mr. Putnam had previously described from the Lebanon specimen under the name of Chologaster agassizii, is very different in its habits from the blind fishes of the cave and other subterranean streams, and is of a dark colour. It lives principally on the bottom, and is exceedingly quick in its motions. It belongs to the same family as the two species of blind fishes found in the cave. He also obtained five specimens of four species of fishes that were in every respect identical with those of the Green River, showing that the river fish do at times enter the dark waters of the cave, and when once there apparently thrive as well as the regular inhabitants. A large number of the white blind fishes were also procured from the Mammoth Cave and from other subterranean streams. In one stream the blind fishes were found in such a position as to show that they could go into daylight if they chose, while the fact of finding the Chologaster in the waters of the Mammoth Cave, where all is utter darkness, shows that animals with eyes flourish there, and is another proof that colour is not dependent on light. Mr. Putnam found the same array of facts in regard to the crayfish of the cave, one species being white and blind, while another species had large black eyes, and was of various shades of a brown colour. A number of living specimens of all the above-mentioned inhabitants of the waters of the cave were successfully brought to Massachusetts after having been kept in daylight for several weeks, proving that all the blind cave-animals do not die on being exposed to light, as has been stated.

# Master Frisky/Chapter 7

In every town where people dwell there is also a dog town. This I learned partly from observing Master Frisky and his friends, and part of it Frisky told me after I learned to understand dog language.
Of course, this town is not as large as that of the people, because every house does not have a dog; and few have more than one, while there are several folks. But the dog town is very important.
The oldest and wisest of the dogs is chosen as a judge or governor; and he has several assistants who help keep order and settle disputes, when there are any, which is not often, for they are generally more peaceable than people.
The choosing of these officers occurs about twice a year; but when a dog is very popular, he is often continued in office for a long time.
The first I noticed of this, was that every morning about seven o'clock Ned would come trotting from house to house. He usually ran into the front yard, and gave one short, sharp bark. At this signal, no matter where he was, ​if in hearing, Master Frisky would run out to meet him.
They would rub noses; and after standing together for a minute, Ned would trot off to the next house, and so on, until he had made the rounds of the village. No matter how pressing the invitation, he would never loiter on any of these morning rounds, after which he always went directly to the meeting-house shed, which served as a town hall for the dogs, where he would report to the older ones. Ned was a sort of sentinel; and if there was anything out of the ordinary, he always reported to his superiors.
The coming of a litter of puppies was always hailed with great joy; and the proud mother was visited in the afternoon by the judge, when any such event was reported in the morning by the sentinel.
If there had been fighting among the younger dogs during the day, it was reported, and the culprits engaged were reprimanded by those in authority.
Sentinel was the first office that Master Frisky ever filled; and the first morning he played truant, and was severely punished for his negligence by Major Snow, who was then judge of dog town.
Major was a large Newfoundland, and very wise.
Each dog takes the name of his master for his last name; and then, if there are two with the same first name, they do not get mixed up.
​Another favorite meeting-place of the dogs is back of Mr. Brown's barn. Here the older ones make laws, and decide upon the management of the town, while the youngsters play tag upon the smooth meadows.
I have often watched them through my telescope, while they deliberated; and their seriousness and dignity are most laughable, and at the same time, respectful.
I think that men could get many points for their political meetings from the dogs.
The worst punishment that is ever resorted to by these law-makers, is to cast a dog out of town, and allow no one to speak to him, or have anything to do with him.
This is very seldom done. I can remember of but one case, and in that instance the dog died of a broken heart.

DAWN IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE TROPICS.
That peerless moment ere the sun is born,
How fresh the breeze as he the horizon nears,
The trill of waking birds, the distant horn,
A warning voice among these mountaineers.
The violet glow upon the mountain crest,
Where vagrant foot of man has seldom trod The golden glory broadening in the east, Proclaims the advent of the type of God.
As royally he sails into the blue,
A friendly cedar veils his glowing face And spares the flowers for a little space;
A little longer to imbibe the dew.
The bugle's shrill réveillée from the height Recalls the drowsy soldier to the light.
